Just kicking this idea around . . . would it work? A mid-level wizard is training a number of apprentices . . . when he's out of town, the kids have to do a little bit of adventuring.
I'm thinking that with such an intelligent but vulnerable party, I'd need to emphasize brains over firepower and discretion as the better part of valor.
Might fudge the premise a bit and allow something like a swordmage . . . he's not a pure wizard like the others, but is still studying ritual magic and alchemy and general arcana with the same instructor.
