[QUOTE="Diamond Cross, post: 5521246, member: 51024"] [I] And that is just not true. Period.[/I] Nor was I arguing your point. That is very dishonest of you to try to turn the argument like that. I was doing no such thing. Nobody can solo the game. That is the truth. Any DM can pick any creature that a spellcaster can not overcome by themselves and will need a team to overcome it. And I have been playing the game since the early 1980s. Long before I even knew of such things as computers or the internet existed. Even in DDO, I still need people to help me with even some of the low level dungeons I've gone into, when I play alone. I always have a Cleric and my summoned monster because a Wizard has a lot of difficulties in close combat especially when the opponents swarm him. There are many dungeons I can not complete without those two helping me. And some opponents have Spell Resistance and immunities to many different spells. For example, what is a lone Wizard or Cleric going to do when he faces a party of five Drow of equal level? Try soloing that and you'll see how far you get. Drow have Spell resistance. And if they happen to have a another wizard, well there's spell countering. So don't give me that stuff. A wizard is a powerful force to reckon with, but some people have some really strong misconceptions that they just can't beat. [/QUOTE]
