[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5588046, member: 5202"] We just started a Revenge of the Giants campaign w/all new characters. I ended up creating 5 of the 6 characters people are playing. I had created a Wizard who used an orb to change all damage to psychic and picked up the Psychic Lock feat. This let me switch from playing a Bard (a lot of his powers were attack debuffs) to playing a Halfling Daggermaster Rogue, who has a ton of status effects he can hand out too. The idea of a psychic fireball that clears out minions and does large damage to a big group and then drops a -2 attack penalty on everyone just makes me smile :) Leaders have lots of debuffs, but Wizards have things like Twist of Space that carry those as well. There is a lot of flexibility and overlap in roles in 4E. As far as lowbie Wizard abilities, definitely hand out Beguiling Strands. Party friendly minion clearer w/a solid push, even if they don't boost Wisdom makes it superior to Thunderwave in my book, no matter how much I like Thunderwave. [/QUOTE]
