a wizard can be quite powerful; but they need things like morror immage, stone skin, spirit armor, and tenser's transformation to compare to a fighter's hack'n slash skill. Fighters up front, mages in the rear. Though i once played thru IWD with a single cleric/mage; defeated Belhifet by geeking out spells, running up and beating him down like a big sissy! it takes more strategy to play a mage, but they can be just as/if not more powerful than a fighter.
