[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3134602, member: 7883"] You've just done exactly the same thing. It's been a few days since I posted that argument, but I don't believe I said anything about you being a 3E basher, or WotC. As to the other comments, I'm not making any kind of statement about wizard vs. fighter damage output. What I am doing is pointing out that the reserve feat isn't making the wizard more powerful than a regular wizard. Sure, crossbows can be disarmed or sundered. They can also be picked up again. Casting spells can be disrupted. And crossbow bolts are far easier to replace than either memorized spells, or wands. What's the going rate? 1 GP for 20 bolts or something? As to the Stormbolt example you point out, thanks for taking it further. You make the case that the wizard can get better damage from the magic missile spell, and it requires a spell slot. Well.....so does Stormbolt. You need to keep your lightning spell memorized, thus using up a spell slot, or the ability doesn't work. Banshee [/QUOTE]
