I also remember the whole "I wish I was a fighter" "I wish I was a wizard" thing from one of the older articles - and I could see this (completely made up).Round 1 - fighter wads into the big group of enemies and takes down 2. Wizard dailies and damages on.Round 2 - Fighter does something special and drops 3 more. Wizard finished off his first one.Round 3 - fighter takes down 2, wizard rolls well and takes 1 down.Round 4 - fighter takes down 3 again, and wizard seeing that there are still a whole bunch of them throws a fireball and drops the last 5.4 round combat - fighter takes out 10, wizard 8. Fighter got some special stuff (taking out 3 in two other rounds) and wizard got his fireball.Again, I'm just pulling this out of thin air, but that could be a way for the wizard to do well in combat, but the fighter outshines him.</blockquote>
