As a wizard player, the big source of excitement for me in leveling up is NEW SPELLS NEW SPELLS NEW SPELLS! If I spend a level on fighter, that's one level's worth of spells I miss out on. If I'm playing a wizard 8/fighter 1, I'm going to be constantly aware that I could be casting 5th-level spells right now if I hadn't taken that stupid fighter dip just so I could wear armor.Good balance means players should have to make tough choices. With the exception of "play a dwarf," I'd say the price for being an armored wizard right now is plenty high. In fact, I would have trouble justifying either the dip or the feat investment to myself. What do I need armor for, that's worth sacrificing either six points of stats or access to NEW SPELLS? I'll just put the armor on the party fighter and stand her in front of me. If the fighter goes down, I've got levitate and dimension door.</blockquote>
