My main takeaway is that Larian have killed the quintessential Wizard in robes.
Human and Half-Elf Wizards from now on will all wear Studded Leather and carry Shields. Because they all have military training.
What human and half-elf wizards? Why would anyone pick those instead of shield dwarfs with medium armor?
If your point is that Shield Dwarves are mechanically the most powerful Wizards now (with Githyanki) because of getting Medium Armor and +2 Int, you are correct.
And that is exactly what the racial ability score change was trying to
change. So that any race could be anything without being sub-par. So.. they objectively failed with the races
again.
