[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 6186810, member: 85158"] [SIZE=2] My understanding is that the class which gets the ability to craft magical items can use it to extend its the working day to the point where both the Fighter and the Wizard can go on long enough for it to not matter, unless they're fighting at Thermopylae. If the Fighter is doing his job, the BBEG should be kept at a safe distance ;) As I have noted previously with my example of the CEO and the janitor, just because everyone's part of the game does not mean that everyone is equally valuable or powerful. While I would not be enthusiastic about trying to slay a dragon on my own, I do feel it important to point out that a wizard has various options to contribute to the mission in terms of finding the dragon, getting to his lair, bypassing defenses, and actually slaying the beast. The Fighter only really contributes to the fighting part. This establishes that the Fighter's focus is much narrower. Whether he performs his role well or not is up for debate. I personally don't think they're very good at fighting, which makes me think they're weak. Well, anyways, [URL="http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=56823"]here's your wizard[/URL].[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
