Inspired by this fascinating thread:
http://www.enworld.org/forum/genera...lance-problem-handled-fantasy-literature.html
How would you houserule wizards at high levels where there appears to be some imbalance with fighters?
(Some may disagree that there is this imbalance, or that the imbalance should remain, but this isn't the thread for that, please.)
Any edition where you believe this to be an issue is fine.
I'll start:
For 3e, spells take 1 action per spell level, standard and then move actions, with standard taking priority. E.g. no change for a lvl 1 spell. A level 2 spell would use up both the standard and move action for the round. A lvl 3 spell would use up a standard, move, and standard the next round. (and so on.)
Another option might be vulnerability. E.g. while a wizard is casting a spell he is considered flatfooted.
Other ideas? Spinoffs? Feedback?
