Not necessarily. I once had a straight human fighter as my PC (don't know what came over me) but he was powerful. Granted, I didn't solo him, but he could still beat a wizard by himself. With the right resistance potions and armour, a fighter can cream a wizard. It all depends on how you fight and the situation of the battle. Sure, a mage can defeat a fighter, but vice versa is just as feasible. [/QUOTE]what i meant was that were there two equally skilled PC's(and the characters have the same exp. points) fighting against each other, than the mage would most likely win, since the mage could cast all kinds of protections and spells which deal MASSIVE damage(dragons breath and ADHW for example, assuming that the characters were not in the same party), or lower saving throws and stun, instant kill or blind the fighter(which makes it
extremely easy to kill someone. since the fighter wont be able to hit the mage(do arrows of dispelling bybass PFMW or absolute immunity? not sure...), how can he beat him? if one wanted to get even more cheesy, the mage could cast invisibilty right after the fighter buffs him self with potions and then just wait for them to wear off(this, of course, is hyphothetical, since very few would have the patience to wait for many hours for one or two buffs to wear off). granted, a fighter CAN be powerful(just as any class can), it would just be pretty hard to solo one since a straight fighter has no special abilities, thus i would say a fighter is the "weakest" class, at least on its own. in a party, well, thats a different story...
