[QUOTE="sithramir, post: 6408929, member: 12183"] I also feel the disappointment. It was pointed out that monsters have less resistances but what is forgotten is: 1. Monsters have more HP in this edition on average 2. Monsters more damage in this edition on average 3. Wizards have much less defensive power at higher levels with only one concentration defense now (which is ruined if you want to use a lot of attack spells that also need it) At higher levels its seeming harsh to manage one spell per level. The whole reason I played wizards was they had lots of defensive spells. 3.x had a 24 hour spell that protected from the first energy attack. Not broken but hugely useful when the fighters just lost HP's, the rogues had evasion, etc. The offensive spells needed tweaking back then but now there seems to be no true abjurer with layers of spell mantles like in the books. Spell duels are pretty much one round or 2 round events now. Its sad but I play bard more now for the HP AC and skills. I just get less pure wizard spells [/QUOTE]
