[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 5966930, member: 54843"] The problem is that Bob and Gary might want to alter the pacing of the game for reasons OTHER than wanting the wizard to feel stronger or weaker. Maybe Gary feels it would ruin verisimilitude to let his players dip in and kill 1/4 of the goblins in the Caves of Chaos, then take a nap while the remaining monsters wait their turn; or maybe his part uses ingenious tactics to split the opposition into a bunch of small-scale skirmishes rather than a few bigger encounters, so even if the wizard burns all his spells after 3 encounters everybody else is still at full HP. Maybe Bob doesn't want to punish his players with random encounters, and decides a more "fun" approach would be to make the existing encounters more challenging. Or maybe Bob's campaign world isn't populated by roaming hordes of deadly monsters, and the party is smart enough not to camp right next to the dungeon. [/QUOTE]
