[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6431003, member: 2011"] I don't get the whole " I'm not the one who would lose their character by trying to do so" concept. Yes, wizards are a tiny bit more squishy than other PCs. But, they just don't die because someone sneezes on them. Even at first level, it typically takes 2 hits to take out a wizard, just like it often takes 2 hits to take out a Bard or a Rogue or many other PCs (and that assumes that the wizard doesn't have a defensive option like Shield). I think that a lot of players overcompensate by playing wizards way too much like a wuss. As for magic missile, we have a wizard and a multiclass wizard in our group and we've cast MM twice between the two of us. Yes, it is autodamage. But when the other PC attacks averaging 7 to 13 points of damage, a 10 point Daily spell just seems like a waste in most scenarios. The need really has to be there. [/QUOTE]
