sounds like a druidic flavor of familiar

When I talk about adjusting maneuvers so they are more versatile (even just in combat versatile), I am afraid they are still going to be less versatile even with my adjustments than much of the above. Non-casters are reliant on skills when we step out of combat and 5e skills do not have the...

possibly more extensively than just a recollected element from a dusty old book you read 10 years ago ... a full round sounds pretty heavy what is the average benefit? a bonus action seems far more tempting.

Buffy the vampire slayer and similar use books (or her wizard analog does) ... the idea of Wizards researching the big bads is just spot on flavor wise and don't blindly rush at them. The idea that combats should all be surprises and that it is a pure guessing game does not seem to conform to...

Summons are crazy ... smdh

Knowledge checks as a standard thing? Or even DM just informing the guy with the right background.

And by and large they paid attention to that element and its tactical value Yes but even just a Web Spell can be a real corker... hurray for a level 2 effect

One of the criticisms of Level Up I have heard is they worried too much about damage capacity when they were making balance adjustments and didnt pay attention to how overwhelming the control spells were.

Of course a fighter has no such option with attacks... and no ability to find a rock paper scissors opening

Well the description of the tier before that includes transformative events like a druid becoming a force of nature I really think that is the epic in question not that underfed/underflavored over 20 bit. (don't remember the exact wording but Its nearly identical story wise to 4e's epic tier...

magic can break the laws of physics and be weak as hell. It's arbitrary how strong magic is or isn't. Most magic might all be ritualized for instance there is a lot of fiction for which that is true, and next to nothing for combat : the abilities can utterly trounce on the laws of nature but...

But are you in 5e? I mean in 4e and 3e there were tools powers and feats you could take to make that much more likely. The 5e designers went into this with a just say no attitude about that in 4e my fighter can pick options to get damage resistance which nullifies low end damage (not reduces)...

Its is another rabbit in their hat.. and one that can be used many ways not just as get us to the dm planned event. The claim is that the Wizards versatility is basically too many rabbits. People do not like "escaping" much.... it's not heroic.

That time you didnt die because your party teleported out from under tpk may be situational but it definitely elevates the wizard value.

I really wonder if some people do not know the meaning of the word "simultaneously" or are just using a broader definition or something. I mean there is a bit of possibility if you are not needing role X right now how easy is it to switch roles sort of makes them simultaneous.

And I also get told Teleport isnt a very good spell... Fanaelialae

The party is about to tpk and the wizard whisks an instant escape for the lot of them.

Indeed it is potentially a chicken and egg issue my favorite character types become faded in some fashion.

Or its not because the choice was tactical and correct and the reason the knock was decided to be used was because they didnt think that was likely given the distraction they had already arranged or because of any of a dozen reasons.... also gee again sounding like DM has to arrange all his...

But you are through the door (and if not then those monsters where damn close in the first place)... its a choice that the non-caster rogue does not have. *its versatility
