Standard infanty would probably be made up of non-classes warriors, but if you had a well trained army, you would first think to make them out of trained fighters. But if you are playing in a game world where wizards are as common a class as fighters (and some people do play that way), then I could see entire armies filled with finger-wagglers. Imagine just lines and lines of just level 1 clerics and wizards and whatever you want. Imagine how many magic missiles there would be? Cure light wounds? If you had a strong religious kingdom, you might have a large percentage of paladins. Lay hands? In general, if you are expecting to win a war with numbers, and you are hoping that each man kills at least one other man, then common low level magic users might become a dominate feature in a D&D army.Of course, if you play in a game world where caster schools are specialties compared with fighter schools just nevermind. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" />Patrick</blockquote>
