[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5783712, member: 9037"] All I can go on is what I read online and over the years one big issue is are wizards over powered some say yes some say no. Pathfinder kept it the same. And as I said you don't tend to see these kind of threads on Pathfinder forums about how broken the system is. There is no way for me to prove that that I think a good many players of Pathfinder don't think the magic system is broken all I have to go on is that fact that magic plays a huge part of the game and people are still willing to buy and play a system with this type of magic in it. My point is that that there are a lot of people who feel that wizards are not broken and there is an in print game that supports that. Pathfinder was playtested I would think that if a lot of people didn't like the magic system Pathfinder would have changed it. And yes I have thought that some people may think the wizard is broken and still choose to play because they like the Vancian system or they live everything else but that about the game. But again if it was the huge issue some people make it out to be I would think you would find more people complaining about it on the forums and they would have brought it up in the play test stage. I am just tired of people tossing around wizards are broken as a hard fact not as an opinion. I think a lot comes down to playstyle and taste in playstyles. [/QUOTE]
