[QUOTE="BASHMAN, post: 4369299, member: 8277"] That analogy is not even close to right. A fighter loses his armor... and either spends 45gp to replace it at the next town or takes armor off the next guy he kills. He can still use all his powers without the armor too. Don't forget that if he had a Shield and a decent Dex (which he likely would even with scale mail if he used a light or heavy blade) his AC would not be horrible, just sub-optimal. Even if you took a fighter's armor, shield, AND weapons, he is STILL better off than a wizard with no spellbook. The fighter wakes up in a prison with no equipment. He picks up a bench in the jail cell and uses it as a 2H improviized weapon and brute strikes the guard to death for 3d8+STR damage. Then he takes the guards' armor, weapon, & shield for the next fight. His wizard companion, however, who assisted by mage-handing the keys and magic missiling every round for fear of losing his now even more precious encounter & daily powers is still up a certain creek without a certain impliment. Until he finds a spellbook with [B]HIS[/B] encounter & daily spells in it-- he is screwed-- and the DM who did it to him deserves a nasty paper cut with lemon-juice on it for doing it. [/QUOTE]
