He's a ****.

He may not be totally wrong...

Rule of 16 is not a big deal to me, but let's admit that:

- Resistible spells kind of suck (because of distance penalties, and the fact that you often risk to waste your turn, pay your energy, and accomplish nothing; with a parried attack, you at least force your opponent to use his defences)

- Wizards with their spells at level 30 are very rare. Even with 300-400 points, most wizard will have 20 as their base level, and a couple of favorite spells at 25 (and they'll pay lots of points for it) that common.

IMHO Rule of 16 could have been dropped without a great impact of GURPS 4e.

The "Rule of 17+" perks are kind of a way to do so...
