The original complaint wasn't specific to Wizards but for some reason they've become the focus now.Regardless, I don't think (but am open to disagreement) people enjoy playing Wizards specifically because of the out of combat type non-spotlight spells we're discussing. There is a lot to enjoy about playing the wizard, but I can only say from my own experience the spells which meet this criteria are not the reason I've ever chosen to play one: 1) out of combat only, 2) used as a party decision rather than an individua one, 3) benefits everyone in the party equally rather than individually, 4) involves no spotlight issue on the Wizard but instead is like pushing a button and it's done. People like spotlight, and people tend to choose to play things because they will enjoy the spotlight which comes with that thing they chose. I don't think anyone chooses a class because they enjoy saying "I put up a tiny hut for the night" and the DM nods and that's that. But I don't mean to speak for everyone. If you choose classes based on something like that, tell us about it.</blockquote>
