[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4298646, member: 43019"] This signals a misunderstanding of power balance in 4E. Much like the fighter and ranger can have equal level powers where the fighter's does more damage while the ranger's lets him move more, and a cleric might have an AoE with a better control while the wizard has an AoE that does more damage (or vice versa), powers are balanced against each other not just 'Oh, the ranger powers all do more damage because he has less hp than a fighter' or 'The wizard AoE are all better than a cleric's because he's the wizard'. Everyone can get different powers via feats, epic destiny, or even just plain old power swapping, but they're all roughly balanced against each other (barring a couple mistakes, yeah, yeah) Features are really what separate out the classes. They're what you can't get casually. And _every single class_ but wizard follows that rule. The wizard gets nothing for his role as a class feature, while the others all do. Which makes it much easier to multiclass or epic seeker with wizard, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
