Wizards are bursty - generally their single target damage is weak compared to a fighter of the same level, and save-or-die spells are unreliable, especially at higher levels since saves scale up faster than save DCs.
This makes wizards a utility/support class to me.
(Also, Wombat, there's no reason a Wizard couldn't train to use that Plasma cannon ;P)
agreed, but wizards have more plot power than fighters, heck rogues have more plot powers than fighters
if it isn't killable by the fighters weapons he's SOL
Please define 'plot power' as you express it.

any challenge other than combat
things like locks, hidden places, mysteries,sneaking past a sleeping dragoncasters can also fly, teleport, bring back the dead, raise an army (with or without recruiting/taking leadership but I'm referring to without) read minds create fortresses or ENTIRE DEMENSIONS
fighters are better at combat, thats their thing, thats what they do, wizards do everything else (and aren't useless for fighting)
oh and good luck at your band comp Magic

[Stardate: today]
I have discovered the ceiling dwellers new hideout... I am taking aim with my newly discovered weapon of mass destruction...
I have taken to calling her Tina...
I must control it with a series of notes played upon this small flutelike device....

Day 4? 5? I've lost count in this crazy world.
I have finally acquired the game I have sought after.
I was so enraptured by it that I missed my normal on the dot update.
I feel that the acquiring of it has broken me out of my fogged insanity and into a gorgeous new light. The others continue with delusions and mad actions.
I retain little hope for humankind...

Day? What is this Day of which you speak?
I've found my spleen, fought six candy colored horses, stitched the hole shut and am now FUBAR, I shall now attempt to reason with them. I doubt it'll work, but its worth a shot.
A wayward box of sharpies explodes in the treetops spraying black ink and plastic, destroying the candy horses once and for all...

I have placed traps around the entryways to the new fortress, buckets I filled with the black substance I found in a variety of pans and treys above the door
A group of the rodents rose up against me but were swiftly dispatched by myself and my most loyal subjects
They shall be rewarded for their loyalty

I am firing the lasers as soon as I finish baking my conifer seed muffins on the power coupling

Been hunting the Beiber for three days Now, only have 5 rounds of "pour rock n roll" left, I must make every shot count, the last Trail I had of him, he was being carried up the Great Wall of china, I missed that time with my ACDC shot, but luckily hitting a Japanese school girl who now things rock n roll ant noise pollution. I know if I hand around the I55 club he's bound to show up soon

Alright, folks, first of all, thank you very much for being understanding and letting me have this time that I so desperately needed. I have honestly spent the last week doing nothing but homework (well, and other basic necessary things like childcare, cooking, laundry, some cleaning...you get the idea) and am mostly caught up. I still have a midterm to write and a research paper to well...research. But these assignments are actually current to this week so I should be able to manage. But I may need to maintain a somewhat slower speed of posting for a bit.
So what I'm going to do is spend a little bit of time tonight going through my PMs and ferreting out the ones that never got answered as I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown and work on answering some of those.
Tomorrow morning probably around ten am EST I will continue with the updating. I am going to ask that you all refrain from posting in the game thread until I give the all-clear as I have very limited time before a full afternoon of classes and I want to at least get caught up to current before post explosion. :D
Also I missed you all bunches and the journal updates made me laugh. :)

Hey Lyn, would it help if some of us in scenes with you that really need a response repost for ya?
Not really. The best thing that y'all can do is just leave it and let me go through things systematically to make sure I get caught up.
One thing I will say (again) is that I tend to drop stuff when I'm in more than five scenes at once. One of the things that was causing some problems for me was the number of scenes we had going. I'm probably going to trim some of the ones that were bogging down more with summaries instead of playing out every detail so I can move the ones that need to be background to the background and focus on the ones that are actually in need of my immediate attention.

Good to know your well, Lynora and I think we can hold back longer if you need more, time A guys, give the lady air etc.
Lynora if it helps You can disregard/Ignore/Del ALL PMs from me or any of my PCs, no read all ready :)

Yell at your math work a lot, get very; very angry, and suddenly, you understand the problem much better.
Tears also help.

You can fix writer's block in English assignments by waiting until the class before or the car ride to school to do it...

Meanwhile in Kuros:
A group of frightened townsfolk has barricaded themselves inside the temple of Sarenrae as their friends and family mindlessly battered the outside. A little girl whimpered as she caught a glimpse of her former playmate trying to chew his way through the boarded up window. The worst part was the screams of those who hadn't run away fast enough.
Gorram it, reavers?!

I was thinking the same thing :)
