[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7535814, member: 6795602"] Actually I need to keep repeating it because people keep misstating my position and then making points that have to do with the misstated position instead of my actual position. Thank you for making a relevant point to my claim. Why is it relevant when other points are not? Because if true it means the problem I perceive isn't actually real. So thank you again. By the way, I've made clear over this thread that I'm happy to have this discussion about whether 1st level spells are actually better than cantrips and the reason why is because it's relevant. I disagree there. Even high level wizards often need to use cantrips. (Assuming a standard adventuring day). We can discuss why but I think another poster already beat me to that analysis. I started the thread thinking that would be undisputed. Since you are disputing it now then I totally agree. That's something that needs addressed. I can't believe it's taken over 100 posts on this thread to get to the point where someone really wanted to bring that point up into the discussion. While that would be an interesting discussion (BTW, I happen to disagree with your assertion), it's not actually relevant to my claims on this thread. My claims simply don't depend on the wizard doing more or less damage than the fighter. The notion isn't that casters need to do more damage. This is another great example where someone is constructing an argument I'm not making in order to easily knock it down. In fact, I'm actually on your side on this one. Full caster's don't need to deal even more damage than they already do. Though I think my reasons for that statement are different than yours. [/QUOTE]
