OK, but 'adventurer equivalent opponent' is a broad category but your example narrows it down to 'equal skill human-type fighter, no anti-magic equipment or stats or advantages'. So yes they will draw against your PC fighter and lose to your PC wizard (assuming said wizard is being meat shielded per standard protocol).

But that's a trivial observation; we can as easily have an 'adventurer equivalent' who is a wizard themselves and now the PC fighter loses. Or any one of a number of monsters that are strong against wizards and weak against fighters.
