It's been a while since I have had a single class wizard or sorcerer. All wizards in the last year have been multiclass with fighter or rogue... mixing in a few catalyzing PrCs as needed.In short, I see a lot of dabblers in my game. In a way, it reminds me of Fafhrd & Grey Mouser of Leiber's books...This is getting a bit anecdotal, but let me circle back around to the point: I'm entirely unconcerned by this. I gnash my teeth whenever I hear an argument that comes back to "D&D does not emulate my favorite novel." (I know from Andor's next paragraph, that's not what he is saying, but bear with me for a sec...) If people are by choice playing wizards preferentially, then obviously they don't feel any special need to emulate your favorite novel. And giving them a game that only does so would obviously fall short of serving their needs.Fair enough. Though some might suggest that you play Conan. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Or Grim Tales, even.</blockquote>
