Message: <blockquote data-quote="ProfessorCirno" data-source="post: 5419415" data-attributes="member: 65637">How many spells does a wizard need to destroy a fight?2.  Maybe 3.How many spells does a level, let's keep it small, 4 wizard have?Way more then needed.Balance breaks down far earlier then level 12.  Colorspray is a level 1 spell, Glitterdust and Web level 2.All this is ignoring scrolls and wands the wizard can have.And no, the problem isn't "my preciosu encounter," because it goes far beyond combat.  Want to have a murder mystery?  Nope!  The spellcaster can just ask the dead guy what happened.  Or he uses a divination spell to easily pinpoint the murderer.  Want to have a difficult and daring traverse through difficult terrain?  Nope!  Endure elements, purify and/or summon food and water.For every situation there is, the wizard can respond with "I cast a spell."  Not just combat.It's funny - for all the anger and whinging that 4e is just about combat, whenever the discussion about pre-4e wizard power comes out, combat seems to be all people talk about <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />Wizards in pre-4e have all the narrative power.  That's my issue.Edit: And for the one billionth time you are Alexander, stop referring to yourself in the third person.</blockquote>
