There is a 14% chance of picking any given race. Then out of feats there are only a few that would benefit a Wizard at low level. So you are correct that its less than 25%, but the effectiveness of the Wizard is not in question.If you compare when they impose a condition or penalty on a target and when that target doesn't have the condition or penalty then the Wizard gains that as DPR or effectiveness. So if the Wizard casts haste on the Fighter those extra attacks don't benefit the Fighter's DPR, only the Wizards because the Fighter wouldn't otherwise have the extra attacks.What you end up with is the casters far outstripping non-casters. Heck if you do a straight DPR comparison the Wizard is almost flat even with the Fighter given the 4 encounter per day assumptions in the last public packet.Increasing your AC potential to 18 is not a 'waste' of a feat. It puts you on equal defense with the class with the most defense for the cost of a single feat.</blockquote>
