Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jedi_Solo" data-source="post: 3753809" data-attributes="member: 40245">I must have missed it then.I have seen Dacileva post evidence that there are some people who do not enjoy playing a low level wizard because of the lack of spells.I have seen you outright dismiss some of the posts (WotC and Usenet) and say that other sources aren't worth considering (UA) but I have seen no evidence that these should be dismissed outright as they have been.  I am more than willing to listen to both sides of the arguement but I've only seen one side (on if these posts are evidence of a 'problem' or not).You are correct that a lot fewer posters have voiced a complaint about the low level wizard "issue" than are regular posters on the board.  You do make a good point in that the number of posters voicing the complaint should be taken into account because one (and only one) loud voice proclaiming there is a problem doesn't mean there really is one (doesn't mean there isn't as well - the sky may in fact be falling; but I will fully agree it's easier to take the issue seriously if 100 people are saying it rather than just one).On the issue of the lack of posters complaining you can add one more poster to the complaint list - me.  I hate playing low level wizards.  A couple magic missles and a few Rays of Frost and I'm done for the day while we still have a couple more fights (my DM likes time constarints on missions).  So... yeah... I dole out the spells so I have some left.  I pull out a ranged weapon and try to roll well to conserve power but here I am being punished for doing what I am supposed to do (I'm supposed to be a spell caster and if I cast spells then I can't cast spells later).Sign me up at around level 5 or 6 - where it is no longer a question of 'should I cast a spell so I can be effective later' but instead is 'what spell should I cast so I can be effective later'.Why haven't I complained about this sooner?  Two reasons...  I lurked here for years but only signed up last year so I haven't given myself a lot of time to complain about it.  As for complaining after I joined others have complained for me.  I don't like posting a "Me Too!" message so there was no point until now.So... Me Too!</blockquote>
