[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 5519557, member: 5122"] Where? I, for one, think that wizards are capable of bringing [I]far[/I] more power to bear than fighters. I'm not sure anyone in this thread would dispute that. I don't remember D&D saying that wizards and fighters are equally powerful, explicitly or by implication. I may have missed it. (Really, I may have. If I did, I think it's clearly a bogus claim.) What I remember, and the way we've always played the game, is that wizards and fighters are both given opportunities to be in the spotlight. Is it possible for a wizard to hog the spotlight? Sure. It's also possible for a fighter to do so. Or a rogue. Or a cleric. Douchebags exist. I just don't have much interest in a game that purports to eliminate douchebaggery because, you know, the GM and players are helpless to not be douchebags all on their own. [/QUOTE]
