He makes himself vulnerable to both ranged and melee attacks from the enemies. He can't teleport, fly, summon monsters, or otherwise shift the face of the battlefield. All he can do is dish out punishment and take some right back.The wizard meanwhile has worse protection but also the least need for it. His powers are almost always ranged and many of his powers hamper the enemy's ability to strike back at him. If you add on top of that all their utility that the fighter can't match, what's really left for the fighter if you then also give the wizard better AC and hp?Edit: Besides, the wizard is not that far behind. The fighter gets 6 hp per level. The wizard gets 4. They both benefit equally from Constitution (actually that's a lie, the wizard benefits slightly more because it will benefit his Fortitude). Compare this to 1d10 vs 1d4 from the past.</blockquote>
