[QUOTE="Red Castle, post: 9225372, member: 7040765"] This. And also, I do believe that by making them play by the same rules as the other classes (AEDU), they made playing a Wizard more accessible to new players. I remember the first time I played DnD (it was 2nd ed), I wanted to play a wizard but the spell list, the need to memorise that one spell... it felt complicated, felt like that I could really screw up... so I ended up playing a fighter because I just had to swing my sword. Fast forward to 4e, playing a wizard is not more complicated than playing a fighter, or any other class... and they're not weak at the beginning... tying Intelligence modifier to AC was a great move I think, it helped the Wizard a lot not getting killed right away.
