[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3713840, member: 1465"] It's possible that they kind of merged the vancian-based Wizard with the Warlock "at will" abilities, for example. "At will" spells could be (1) very limited in what they can do (probably mostly damage, or very short-time buffs/debuffs), and (2) significantly less powerful than "per day" spells. So what about a Wizard that has 1 only Time Stop and 1 only Meteor Swarm per day, but has unlimited Ray of Frosts and Mage Hand? Personally I have to say that I NEVER felt like a 3.0 wizard or sorcerer had nothing to do... Shooting Crossbow is not "doing nothing", except maybe at levels 10+, at which point usually a 3.0 wizard has enough spells that she never runs out completely. Anyway, the big difference is IMHO dictated by the same change in a Cleric.
