My understanding is 'Lord Robilar' was the original 20th level character, and it was a fighter. So I don't think we can just assume it was that simple. I think Gygax came up with interesting things for the fighters when they did get high level. I also don't think that he intended wizards (in OD&D core) to be some sort of dominant character at higher levels. I think they didn't really know much of what they were doing and just figured that the name-level 'end game' was building domains, where the fighter would be pretty much on-par with the wizard in terms of army building and whatnot. He'd get a bit better army, but no fireballs.</p></blockquote><p></p>
