A wizard is not very good at passively having his damage spells deal 60%+ more damage per CL. It's easy to build a sorcerer that deals Burning Hands of average 18 fire damage level 1, which, at level one equates to "Save, and still die."~~As for Monk's power, I don't really care. If we've got a primary spellcaster and a two handed weapon barbarian, all the party's combat needs are accounted for and everyone else is there for flavor and utility.

I do not usually count clerics as primary casters.

I am also curious how you do 18 damage on average with burning hands at level 1. I know you can get a decent bit with the crossblooded archetype and all but averaging 18 is more than I am aware of.
