1) not sure if it's really mitigated since level 6 spells and above are not affected.
2)this does seem a bit ridiculous to me. i can just imagine high level wizards mind raping low level ones just for the sake of following them around and buffing them up before the battle. besides wizards...
and higher levels? plus the problem (according to some people anyway) with wizards in 3.5 was higher levels. no one was really complaining about the magic missile powerhouse:angel:
TBH i assumed it would be so because that's what a lot of people are saying(yeah i know, mob mentality;)
is it instead more accurate to say that fighters and rogues got stronger?
note: broken spells and mechanics(i.e that the writer never thought would be used in a certain way.. or had a text open to interpretation etc) that got fixed do not count.
i know for instance that they have fewer spell slots and the concentration thing... but they instead get rituals and at will...
