[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 1443238, member: 743"] That wizard is also casting Maze and Polar Ray. Mind Blank at will is nowhere near unbalanced at 17th level when its a huge portion of your only abilities. You do realize that 17th level wizards can cast Meteor Swarm or Shapechange 1/day right? They can cast Mind Blank twice per day, barring specialization and high stats. Th Braxat has fewer hit points than most characters of his level, but he also gets a higher AC and DR (at least 5/magic, don't have the conversion amnual in front of me). They also get Mind Blast and Dimension Door at will, two very useful abilities. Blink at will is lso pretty powerful. Confusion and Feeblemind 1/day each will help against wizards and warriors.
