The Case for Giving Wizards a little something/something

[mao]

Some Possible class features to upgrade wizards
(It is not uncommon for players to  play in my game for 15-20 games before making 2nd, so keep that in mind when you read this)


D8 Hit Die

Never liked d4 hit die for wizards, I choose to belive that being filled with arcane power makes you stronger not weaker

Long Swords

Gandalf, nuff said

Cantrips

Even The 1e ones are great if you use a little creativity

Wands

I'll post a link to this idea

and now for a little "payback"

Sleep, no way am I letting a wizard have that Spell, It should be like 3rd level(Oh I think I'm gonna do that)

Settle down, I will refrain from mocking you.

I like it all. Sleep has always been a fascinating spell to me. It's an extremely powerful "I win" spell that seems at first glance out of place at first level. On the other hand, it's the beginning wizard's primary combat spell. It's also nonviolent which has some nice utility.

That all said, you gave them d8's for HD so I think that balances out nicely.

Okay I guess

Magic-Users in OD&D use a d6 for hits points just like all the other classes. Without the sleep spell the low level Magic-Users would really be a weak class.

Magic users dont need anything. They are already easily the strongest class.
