Not as good as he'd be with a Fighter, but that's part of the trade-off. This is an example of how the system works near-perfectly.A Wizard 3 who takes 3 levels of Fighter gets NO better at spellcasting. Not just worse than a Wiz 6, but equal in all magical ways to a Wizard 3. This is an example of how the system falls apart. You can't add versatility without becoming functionally useless in your main category.There's a middle ground between No Advancement and Full Advancement that the current magic system does not cater to very well. Even the caster level increases are kind of missing the mark, though they don't do too shabby. It's hard to fix without re-writing the way spellcasters work. I wouldn't expect a true fix until 4e.</blockquote>
