FRCS is hardly obscure.But if you're going to limit the wizard source material (but not the fighter) to core, shouldn't you expect the wizard players in your world to be limited? If you only allow core materials, there's a mighty small list of PrCs allowed. Certainly not the Blademaster you use in your examples.As I've said in both this thread and the other on the topic, the incredible limits you see on the 3e wizard are part of YOUR game, not the 3e game. If you played a different style, one more tailored to wizards, you would see much more powerful wizards.No one in your game ever scouts out the foes, checks the defenses and the layout and plans an assault for tomorrow? No one ever looks ahead and prepares exactly the right spells for the day? Sure, some days you aren't ready. In our most recent encounter we hit a perfectly prepared opponent without out a hint of prep ourselves, not a single buff up (we've already switched to short duration spells), all the wrong spells, and we got trashed. The encounter wasn't even close to our level, and we got beat on hard. In fact, without the fighter, who is ready all day every day, we'd likely have all died (well, some of would have run<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />).
