With the way that characters take on new roles, that should sound likely. Since wizards furthermore often carry lighter equipment, a wizard can in fact be a far better fighter.

I'd probably have to vote for the fighter, though, since he's probably got a lot of other things that add to damage (Gallantry, Fury, &tc.), Strength aside. @bsftcs: Congrats on the graduation from Quintesson hell! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] |

Thank you. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I really cannot remember if it made any difference when I maxed out my characters' skills, but I am sure Radek has some figures for us on that matter.

well, all that i know is that my wizard is stronger and seems to hit more often than when she was at level 4-5, maybe it dosent raise the hit stat but it must have some effect.
and no, by warrior i meant fighter not barbarian, maybe he can get more skills after the last two quests of the warriors guild but right now all he has is ironmight and my wizard has it too so that equals it out. |

In that case, definitely the Wizard: Warriors suck, they just usually pick up useful traits/skills as they ascend through the "warrior-type" roles. (Guess there was some guild hopping going on there to get the Wizard Ironmight ... ) |

Don't warriors go up and up in number of attacks per round as they ascend? and wizards don't? or at east not nearly as much?

Assuming they're the same race.... your wizard is stronger and has a higher weapon skill. The weapons are roughly comparable. So I'd expect the wizard to hit harder for those reasons. As for hitting more often... well, I'm not sure how well the THAC0-type numbers were implemented for different classes. And depending on what level you are, they may just be close to automatic hits.
