Hmmm. I didn't notice that about wizards the one time I had one in the party. Then again, that was my first party and it was awhile back (like September!). Must look into this and see for myself.
Even if it turns out to be so, I still prefer sorcerers for ease of spell acquisition.
And it's not strictly 3rd ed, because only fighters are allowed the extra feats. Then again, there's much in this game that isn't strictly 3rd ed
