    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    I repeat my previous answer. I see no reason one should be better than the other in a whole pillar of the game. I actually think the opposite here: sitting at a table, the sorcerer will look down at his character sheet and see lots of cool features, while the wizard won't. In the past, this...

    I would like to add the perspective of someone who almost never plays a Wizard (I almost never play anything, I'm a DM 99.9% of the time). I run games quite often: I have a couple of weekly home games, and I run additional ones in the game store and for other friends fairly frequently. I am...
