[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7535058, member: 6795602"] That’s quite a bit more helpful. Thank you. Maybe because that isn’t actually what I’m saying. I’m not claiming a level 1 spell slot is worse than a cantrip. In fact there’s many spells a level 1 slot could be used on that I would consider to be much better than a cantrip. I’ve admitted this many times in the thread. I agree. It’s a good thing that isn’t my claim. Agreed. I agree. But i’m not saying a cantrip is worse than a level 1 spell cast from any spell slot. I am saying a level 1 spell cast from a level 1 spell slot is not better than a cantrip if you are at least a certain character level. I’m really not sure why I need to keep repeating this. Or you could provide a response to what I’m actually saying instead of arguing against things I’m not saying. And even worse, making points I actually agree with as if I don’t. There you go again, ignoring my actual claim in favor of attacking claims that I am not making. They have a rather offensive word for that... I’m going to avoid using it in hopes of civil discourse. The actual issue I raise isn’t self correcting in actual play. That said, I’ve agreed for some time that there isn’t an easy enough way to make 5e do what I desire without having too many other consequences that I don’t desire. That still doesn’t change that almost every post here is talking past me and not actually responding to the point I am making. [/QUOTE]
