At lvl 30 and some PrCs and some magic items, the wiz should have a good caster level, and thus a good chance at disjoining the field after two tries. Which isn't even getting into epic level spells, which can be brutally abused. The wizard will surely have a chain contingency with plenty of clever defensive spells set to go off at the start of combat, which could be a problem for any bruiser, even if he wins initiative.I'm thinking the Ring of Counterspells is a great idea, as is the ranged attack idea (thought that Wind Wall is a silly easy way to shut down and archer). With some useful items, the archer could bring down the wizard very quickly whatever the distance. Still, I think it is being overlooked that we are arguing this for a vanilla wizard and a fighter specifically prepped to take down said mage. Putting them on equal ground, with an equal amount of appropriate prep time, and there is no contest.Though I did see a hulking hurler build a while back that used and area attack feature to force a hard ref save... I can't see even a flying, buffed, invisible, wind walled wizard surviving a many ton pointy lead ball impact, and even with save buffs, wizards aren't famous for their reflex saves...</blockquote>
