If the Fighter is in heavy armour he's going to be easier to spot, if he is more stealthy he is going to be easier to kill, but given your Fighter only has 14 Dex, he's not likely a stealth build. Alternatively he may have some alarm rituals up which alert him to the presence of danger.Wizard hides and ambushes the Fighter gaining surprise, since he has a much better scout than him and knows he is coming. He can stay out of line of sight from the Fighter and use his owl familiar as his eyes until the Fighter gets close. In this instance if he rolled well in initiative, two magic missiles are likely to kill the Fighter before he can react. If not? He can use expeditious retreat to stay away from the Fighter, help action from his owl familiar, and wear the Fighter down with firebolts from afar. The fighter can attempt to use a ranged weapon, but with 15 AC from Mage Armour and advantage from his owl, the Wizard is going to win a ranged duel.This is assuming he is even going to attack. He could learn about this Fighter, retreat, and fight him in more favourable conditions after following him for some time with his familiar. After all that's what Wizard's are ALL about. Maybe he uses minor illusion to lure the Fighter close to the lair of a dangerous creature, maybe he does many other things other than getting into a straight up fight in a 1v1 battle, after all he has at least 16 intelligence.If you're playing Wizards and NOT using all your tools at your disposal to learn, prepare, and act accordingly, you're doing it wrong.</blockquote>
