[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 4125430, member: 9053"] It seems like the assumption is that "wizards will have better powers," and to a certain extent I can see how this is true: I doubt we'll see a fighter flying or teleporting or planeshifting. At the same time, isn't that just like the old system where a wizard would pay now for getting the good stuff later on? Perhaps a better idea would be to make the wizard pay for his abilities as he goes: suppose you get flying at level 15, teleport at level 20 and plane shift at level 25, why not have the wizard pay a HP tax to get those powers? I know that's perhaps a bit over metagamey, but haven't we left the days of "I'll suck now but be teh awesome later on!" behind us? On the point of daily powers: the wizards from D&D Experience had the same number of dailys as everyone else, or else my GM did it wrong. If they actually get more daily powers, that would certainly be a reason for less HP: more boom! --Steve [/QUOTE]
