[QUOTE="The Black Ranger, post: 6342821, member: 6725634"] Who gets attacked is not a playstyle. If a DM doesn't attack the wizard then it's player coddling plain and simple. In previous editions, wizards had specific spells that would protect him from harm and could buff himself right up, not in this edition. In typical, normal, everyday encounters, everyone gets attacked. AC and HP are never useless to a Wizard and it's false for even saying that. Maybe you got by with an encounter to where you didn't even get hit or even attacked, sure it happens but not enough that you will want to dismiss the notion that you won't need them. Playstyle has absolutely "0" to do with this nor does balance. Now if you want to introduce player tactics into the mix then yes, certain groups do use different tactics. Thing is though, I seriously doubt your group is going to stay huddled together because that opens them up to AoEs. [/QUOTE]
