What we have here is a 5th level 4e wizard with [U]not a single[/U] damaging power. It took me maybe four minutes to make. Can't make a wizard with half the powers doing no damage on a bet? I'll take that bet. What did I win? Ah yes, when the debate goes against you we throw out the ad hominems. Call into question the validity of the argument by questioning the validity of the person himself. Predictable but still has a charm all its own. As for the rest of your post, you didn't make any relevant points so there's nothing for me to respond to. [/QUOTE]
