[QUOTE="Angel of Adventure, post: 2356042, member: 19165"] I would have to agree that a high level wizard can be far more valuable to a party than just about any other class. Yes, the break easily, but their spell selection, IMHO, is the best out there in terms of buffs, invulnerabilites, damage and overall versatility. I've got a cohort in an epic level game (Orbius in Jester's SH: Great Conflicts, et al.) and he is often the MVP of our games. He's got divinations up the ying (Divine Oracle PrC) and some custom metamagic feats that let him super buff the party, well beyond the abilities of our party Sorcerer and Cleric. Plus, Time Stop always helps to set the battle field and even with many spell slots going to divinations/buffs, he's still got several Save or Die (or be horribly mutilated) spells to kick butt in a fight. Put him inside of a Prismatic Sphere (i.e.: the DON'T TOUCH ME!!! spell) and he's is often out of reach for the bad guys. I would say that the only thing that would make him even more insane would be the ability to cast Epic magic, which is sadly beyond the reach of all PCs in our game (way too much money and XPs). So yes, Wizards are the most powerful in the game, though other classes do have options that can at least help them keep up, though not exceed the wizard. -AoA [/QUOTE]
