Dear Mr. My-wand-has-more-charges-than-your-wand,
What did we ever do to you? I keep reading threads in the PRPG playtests where all design decisions are being subjected to the question of whether or not they can stand up to a fully-buffed wizard staring down from the other end of the corridor.
Thinking about improvements to the fighter? Not enough unless it helps him to withstand the heat of a fireball.
Sneak attack damage being debated? You have to be able to take out the mage in one hit or he'll make jokes about your mother while teleporting out of there.
I have to ask, wiz, when did you become such an a$+#!%&? I remember a time when you were a valued member of the party, protected at low levels and quite impressive at high levels. I remember when magic users like yourself were happy to get fireball and after each blast would get big smiles on their furry little faces. Buff spells? Those were a way for the wizard to thank the fighter for protecting them all these years.
Now, it seems, that wizards hang out in long hallways buffing themselves while waiting for honest, hard-working PC fighters to walk dumbly up the corridor just so they can mock them while testing area spells that might be better used on goblins.
Yours,
Grognard
