I have learned quite a bit about wizards in the past while... I have six elvish wizards with 18 intelligence and 15 spiritualism. Three are mastered in the sun spells where five are mastered in the stone spells. They are all level two right now. I set the monster generation all the way up and checked to see how well I would do.

I fought three groups simultaneously... a pack of 6 rogues, 4 nypmhs and about 12 goblins (not called goblins but I dont know the name). I had my three wizards who mastered in sun spells drop as many flamedrops as they had, three each. that killed all but four creatures. Soon after, when they were closer, I fired a small barrage of my zap spells. A whole lot of dead creatures... a foot deep pile of items... an unscratched party of wizards already healing and regenerating. I think I like wizards.

Now the rogue thing... It's my theory that I can create a rogue and bring him along any time that it is REQUIRED to have a lock-picker. Hopefully that is rare.

I just find it awesome seeing a small army approach and having the knowledge that they will never reach me. It is my belief that one wizard is worth two warriors.
