They have a competent archer so ranged attacks are taken care of. Teleporting? terrain control spells like walls? What would you say is essential about the competent wizard to a party? In our games the wizard arcane trickster archmage is most useful for his massive search and disable device checks as the party's rogue. He certainly does less damage in combat and is generally frailer than anybody else (VOP druid, paladin with artefact holy sword, cleric fighter, fighter archer specialist). The only one he does better than is my eldritch knight who only has an advantage in tactics from the way I play him. And my character (who isn't with them currently as I now DM the group) was designed to be a fun warrior mage and good at going solo and covering all bases (which has happened more than once), not for specialized combat optimization like the rest of the party.</p></blockquote><p></p>
