And why a good fighter would win against a Wizard when up close.But getting there is half the battle. And that's why fighters have lots of hit points.At tenth level, a fighter can have up to 140 hp maximum, assuming an 18 Con.At tenth level, assuming a Wizard has an 18 Con, which is not likely, the Wizard would have a maximum hp of 80. A 140 hp is a huge difference.And even with a lowly non magical long sword, a fighter can still dish a good 30hp of damage a round. This assumes that a Fighter would have maxed out his Strength, which would be at least a 20 at tenth level. That would be a d8 plus five points of damage twice a round, or 6 to 13 for one attack, without a critical hit. So that would be 12 to 26 hp per round, for a tenth level fighter, since they get two attacks per round. With critical hits that would be 24 to 52 points of damage. Which is a lot of damage. This not weak by any stretch of the imagination.With the right magical weapon a fighter can dish out almost 120hp of damage a round.But then again, a Wizard's useless without their spellbook. They can not cast magic without it. A Wizard and a Sorcerer even with 80 hp would get taken down pretty easily.This is for 3.5e, of course.But a Wizard at 10th level is not likely to have 80hp and would more than likely have around 40hp.And Wizards do not get critical hits with their spells. Well, in Rolemaster, they do, but this is D&D.</blockquote>
