At least at low levels. Every combat so far was absolutely carried by our parties fighter just beating the enemies into a pulp :)

    I think it’s canon that wether in DnD or PF anyone can learn arcane magic if they take the time to do so (and they have a way to pay for it, most people can’t afford to not work for 5-10 years)

    The thing is, even if someone has the money and the time maybe they don’t want to spend it, especially if magical scrolls/wands can let you cast spells fairly easily.

    To me it’s the same thing as saying to some kid “you can learn to be a robotics engineer and in 5-10 years and $100k of debt you’ll be able to make robots that can do anything for you, including being strong” and the kid just replies “That’s cool, but I think I’ll just go to the gym thank you”

      Depends on the setting, in D&D. In Krynn, for example, you must possess an inborn aptitude (actually a blessing from the moons) to learn magic. Someone without it simply cannot learn it.
