Yes, wizards have some solutions to exploration issues that make challenges easy. I think that's intentionally part of the overall balance for the class. Because they're expected to be devoting some of their resources there, they aren't saving them all for combat, and vice versa. I think that's been part of the intention behind the class (and any other full caster class) all along. Back in 1e, if they were devoting slots to knock, invisibility, and spider climb, they were taking on an opportunity cost in loading up on combat spells. Various things that happened in 3e, particularly the cheapness of utility scrolls and wands, torpedoed that for the 3e family, but it's back in some form in 5e, though perhaps not quite as strict.</p></blockquote><p></p>
