I do so love my magic tanks. I played sorcerers and wizards for like a decade before finally deciding to try a paladin, and oh good Lord was it fun being able to actually just slap a mfer
I played a front line sorcerer once. On his father's deathbed, he swore to protect their home town as a member of the town guard.
First session, home town is destroyed by a dragon.
The whole rest of the campaign he was fueled by failure, rage, and revenge. Didn't make sense as a front liner but it didn't matter.
I had a front line wizard in The Dark Eye. Dude had trash spell stats but high strength, lots of points in throwing weapons and an indestructible crystal ball that he could summon back to his hand. Which counted as a magic weapon because, well, it's enchanted.
And he still had access to various divination spells. Not reliably but still.
Playing a shit spellcaster can be a lot of fun.
I think Wizard is my favorite class, because I like having options. My favorite character was a Paladin though. It's fun still having some spells but not having to worry about it much. You're mostly just hitting people.
