[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9153362, member: 6795602"] I’d suggest behavior goes both ways. As of right now casters are often just as tanky as the martials. A stereotypical wizards can have 8 hp, 16 AC with mage armor, a shield spell and use either sleep or magic missile to take out whatever is in front of him. Or if the wizard multiclasses he can match or surpass most fighters AC (most fighters don’t use shields). In short, outside a few hp - which defensive and control spells easily make up for - the wizard can easily be just as tanky as the fighter - if not more so depending on specific builds of each. So mechanically why would a fighter want to try and defend the wizard? Maybe to help keep a concentration spell going? Other than that he wouldn’t, just kill the enemies as the wizard is just as tanky as him. IMO, If wizards were actually squishy, fighters would be built to defend them. [/QUOTE]
