A game in which a core character choice that is presented as utterly valid is similarly utterly unable to compete with another core character choice is a poor game. A poor game. The rest of your post addresses issues like finding a way to slay the Wizard when he's not protected, but those are barely worth addressing - a Wizard worth his salt, in nearly every edition of the game, would be nigh impossible to catch vulnerable, especially by a Fighter. On the other hand, a Fighter would find it very nearly impossible to protect himself from the Wizard were the scenario to be reversed. Again, the Wizard and Fighter are playing different games. The Fighter is playing a game of hitting things and being restricted to believable reality, and the Wizard is playing a game of doing anything that he wants to anyone he wants.If the opinion you express above is one that you plan to continue to hold, then I have nothing more to offer beyond the following: I sincerely hope that you find another game - one that is not Dungeons & Dragons - to enjoy and influence the development of.I'm still hoping that someone comes up with a solution to the fighter-wizard problem, that allows magic to be flexible and powerful, while also allowing non-spellcasters to play in the same game that they do, and while preserving enough "verisimilitude" (an oft-abused word) that the Fighters-can't-have-nice-things crowd is satisfied. I just really don't think it can be done, given how diametrically opposed those priorities are.</blockquote>
