[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6659776, member: 957"] Agreed. I recall conversations ( :) ) about how great it was that the "weak" characters always had a small chance to be successful at things a "strong" character was expected to do (but would still have a small chance of failure). Or he uses magic to solve the problem. But if he is stripped of the ability to use magic then a 3E wizard is pretty much a peasant. I like that. Of course, you can also make 3E wizards that are anything but peasants if you want to. But the vanilla wizard, yep. Bounded accuracy certainly plays a role. I've praised the fact that kobolds are not negligible to characters in their teens. The same applies here except the L1 wizard is the kobold and the dangerous mountain in the "character in his teens". The wizard is still in way over his head and pretty likely gonna die. But it is toned down from 3E. But the L1 and L20 wizard (sans all magic) are pretty much the same. The L20n has a better chance to hit the remorhaz with a stick, but that is about it. Of course [/QUOTE]
