[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7300986, member: 6779196"] I usually have a couple of ideas floating around, and I’ll settle on one depending on the needs of the party. This is both to help the group out and to preserve a niche for myself. A party of four Wizards gets kind of awkward as even with different subclasses and spell choices there’s a huge amount of overlap in the characters’ capabilities, which can be frustrating. Heck, even in a party of four full casters of different classes. I had this situation once, where in an ostensibly low-magic setting, our party consisted of a Dragon Sorcerer, a Necromancer Wizard, a Life Cleric, a Land Druid, and an Old One Book Warlock. Every challenge devolved into everyone “whipping out our spell dicks”’ as one player described it. Everyone wanted to be the cool guy with just the right spell for the situation, and more often than not, one or more other party members had exactly the same spell. [/QUOTE]
