[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 4537219, member: 4892"] 1) As more powers become available you may find more that count as "utility." Also, with the upcoming Bard class you may find more utility than attack, not sure yet. But you are correct that you may never be able to play a utility WIZARD if you focus on wanted to play a class named wizard. 2) Again I think the bard may fill this role or subsequent books may introduce a beguiler. I don't believe this concept is unfathomable in 4E. 3) Again, are we discussing Concept or Mechanics?
