(Unless you were talking, say, 5th level or less, and even then that's a STRONG wizard.)Keep in mind that:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Damage spells are not the only trick in a wizard's repertoire. Weak saves (everybody's got a weak score) mean strong fight-ending spells with nary a hit point lost on the enemy.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Utility Spells can turn the other player characters into "Swedish Murder Machines" in their own right. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Leaving a slot open at each level (doable with higher ability scores) means in 15 minutes' time the wizard is prepared for any challenge.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A wizard also has his strength in making items (scrolls and potions especially). In some ways, these are even better than leaving a slot open -- no prep time on-site, full complement is devoted to more specific spells, and someone other than the wizard can use them.</li> </ul>I'd be interested in hearing more specifics on the wizards' prowess, because that much utility is a seriously good ace in the hole.</blockquote>
