How would you do it? Think Teclis from Warhammer or Elminster, Khelben Blackstaff, and Vandergast from D&D. They don't have overwhelming god smoting power (though fans might disagree). But they have the wit and skill to stay ahead of their foes. Now, they do have the writer on their side and they don't have to worry about 1's rolling up. But even Elminster was a PC once. How do you go about playing the Man with the Plan. Especially when you're playing a Wizard?

Divination allows wizards to gain valuable intelligence on enemies. Sometimes, a simple clairaudience or clairvoyance on the other side of the door works wonders.
As for knowing it all, high intelligence allows wizards to have a very good selection of skills. I would at least put a rank into all knowledge skills.
