    "So what do you have? "

    “A sword!”

    “A sword?”

    “Yes. And I can hit with it twice as often twice every hour.”

    “… I’ll stick to my spellslots thank you.”

    “… It sounded better in my head.”

    In a single round of combat, a wizard can use a spell to rain fire and bring a max health fighter down to 1 hp.

    In comparison, in a single round of combat, a fighter can swing their sword four times and bring a max health wizard down to 1 hp.

    So they’re both as good as each other in a hypothetical 1v1 combat scenario which is unlikely to ever come up during an actual game. Bravo. Can we stop having this argument? It’s been 4 months since this exact meme was posted.

      No! We must run the scenario in every system first, then compile the distribution of outcomes.
