Message: <blockquote data-quote="Doug McCrae" data-source="post: 5899536" data-attributes="member: 21169">The 3e wizard has four key tools:1. Spells currently memorised.2. Scrolls. (Maybe wands too.)3. Open slots that can be filled in 15 mins.4. The ability to completely change his currently memorised spell loadout given a night's rest.Using all of these tactics together, I believe he is able to out utility the rogue to a great degree. The wizard not only has more power than the rogue - invisibility better than hide in shadows, fly better than climb, etc - he has more flexibility because the rogue's skills can't be changed, and the rogue can only max out 8. 10 at the most assuming a 14 intelligence. Bear in mind that the wizard, with his high intelligence, has plenty of useful skills too. With an 18 int he can max out 6 skills, not much fewer than the rogue.For the wizard options 3 and 4 do take time, yes. The rogue is faster. That's why when time is of the essence, the wizard uses option 1 or 2. What scrolls the wizard creates, and what spells he memorises, are highly situational and depend upon the types of challenges he's facing in a specific campaign.</blockquote>
