I would love to participate in this.

Basically, I'd do straight wizzie until time for PrC classes. Seems like the best way to test the original idea.

IMO, start it at level 1. Four wizards, any normalish(read, non massive LA) race. Standard 32 pt buy, perhaps less. After all, the point is to show how powerful wizards can be.

Start with straight level appropriate encounters as per the DMG, and scale from there according to how easy the encounters are. Definitely try some days with plenty of encounters as well as some with few...get a good variety of tests, yknow?

But anyhow, yeah, I'd gladly play a straight wizard for this(or a wizzard, if preferred) if anyone else is up for actually trying it out. I hear people saying that it *could* work, but that's different than actually doing it.
