With the new design on per encounter abilities the wizard obviously needs a re-balancing since the balance of limited resources keeping you from wasting slots on knock when you have a good rogue and other issues that came from his resource management balance will be gone.  I'd prefer they just re-balance the spells and not the options though.  I just never saw the wizard is better than everyone at everything issue in game</blockquote>
