[QUOTE="xigbar, post: 5970592, member: 6673175"] Off to a great start. You aren't aware of what "powerfully built" means, but if the caster is as such, they will not, at the least, down on hit points. Wizards don't need a lot of consumable materials, since most "consumables" are replicating spell effects that they can just cast with low level slots. Additionally, there are a lot of ways to make things like scrolls that make these effects so cheap, that they might as well be, or in some cases, actually are, free. No, it doesn't. Wizards don't need to be optimized for dealing with melee classes. So many of their spells are so profoundly multi-purposed, there are some that single handedly take down any non-caster outright. See above. Also, melee classes could one shot a Balor with little to no effort when it's a level appropriate encounter. But they to spend on a way to chase the Baalor when it's flying, and then deal with it's spell like abilities which also allow it to outmaneuver and outclass the melee build. Errrr, no. Asking for a build is a logical to display how a given character can deal with a day with game situations to run the gamut from combat, social problems, or stealth. I would like to see what you mean by competent. Also, if the monsters are played to their full potential, then blasting can work, since defensive abilities working against them might not have been though of. [/QUOTE]
