This is why, I think, 1e/2e never really had the same problem with spell casters (mainly wizards) encroaching too far onto other class (mainly rogue) territory. A wizard could potentially duplicate a rogue with various spells like invisibility and spider climb, but did so only at a significant cost of spell slots being tied up to do what a rogue could do all day. Once 3e's wands came around and almost any spell was fair game with 50 charges, wizards could encroach cheaply.</p></blockquote><p></p>
