[QUOTE="Voss, post: 4258995, member: 57593"] Thankfully not. The rituals are pretty much stuff you do outside of combat, while 90+% of your class is stuff you do in combat. In a way its a separate group of 'skills' that doesn't impact your class. Though various classes have an easier time accessing it than others. Clerics and wizards get it for free, its only one feat for warlocks and paladins, and two feats for everyone else. In a way its hedge magic, or depending on how you look at it, 'high magic' while the wizard is really just a battlemage- someone optimized for combat magic and nothing else. Absolutely not. He can swing a greatsword, and even be proficient in it, but he doesn't have the stats or the powers to back it up. You could cripple his ability to be a wizard and invest the stat points into strength and con to put him in a place where he can make a basic attack thats roughly similar to a fighter, but he's going to be really bad at both. And a heavy armor wearing wizard isn't worthwhile. Since AC involves armor bonus and int/dex bonus for light armor, he's going to have a competitive AC without spending the resources on plate... and it will get more competitive as he goes up in level and his int increases [/QUOTE]
