Wizards are powerful but that Paladin hits like a Mac truck... and keeps going, don't even get me started on the Summoner...I think a lot of the power gaming tier stuff comes from people who never played AD&D where your 1 HP fighter caught diptheria and died for crawling through a sewer.</blockquote>
