Like looking for a gang of thieves. Or various other purposes. Then to check if it's a false alarm you send your familiar to check.If you're not doing things like this no wonder you have problems seeing the worth of a wizard.Nope. I just don't pretend that first level spell slots grow on trees. A second level wizard gets 3+1 of them to last the entire day.It's not all or nothing.A second level wizard knows eight spells. They need an offensive spell and might want two (one lockdown, one AoE). There are four defensive spells that remain good all the way (Mage Armour, Shield, Absorb Elements, Silvery Barbs) - and Absorb Elements and Silvery Barbs honestly aren't useful until you have leveled up. But a wizard only ever gets four first level spell slots.I would therefore expect just about every wizard to pick Find Familiar and have two or three other first level ritual spells, possibly as many as four, just from their default spell collection.Likewise levelling up. Wizards gain four spells in their spell book per level beyond first, and can prepare two at a time. I would therefore expect a sensible wizard to pick one to two rituals per spell level.By comparison to that second level wizard with four slot-cast spells, find Familiar, and three other rituals a second level sorcerer knows ... three spells. W00t! If they are lucky enough to be from Tasha's it's ... five. Or they don't go all in, but have the flexibility of both spells cast out of slots and some rituals they don't use preparation slots for.And a wizard doesn't need "all these spells". Played well they are the strongest class in the game without it.What you mean is "no other class is both the strongest class in the game out of the box and can be powered up even further in ways no other class can be if they get a lot of gold and item shops".</blockquote>
