Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 1955652" data-attributes="member: 114">You forget that a 10th level fighter might be a master archer (or even a passable archer) and have cheap magic items that allow him to allow him to see invisible (e.g. hand of glory). With the right feats he could fill the wizard full of magic arrows and outlast his puny fireballs (especially if he has even a minor ring of fire resistance). By 10th level *any* fighter who relies upon getting to melee range is likely to be in trouble if he doesn't have alternative (ranged) tactics to use as options.As shilsen says, testing out classes in head to head situations is pretty pointless. The balance of 3e classes is an "equal fun" balance. If the DM runs an adventure with only one encounter a day, the spell using classes will really shine. If the DM runs an adventure with 100 encounters a day the spell using classes will seem relatively useless.</blockquote>
