[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8672232, member: 93670"] I think that can be more attibuted to a hamfisted slapdash overuse of concentration/legendary resist/magic resist/overly watered down spells along side a relentless quest for simplification that did away with SR ASF ACP & so on. The combination didn't really get applied in a way that gives enough weight to how the whole works out I think that d4 hit die would be an improvement for the wizard classbecause it would kill dead any semblance of reasonableness that the combo of 5e's toned down spells overused concentration overused magic/energy resist or immune & silliness of legendary resist in the absence of things once present like spell penetration & SR:Yes/No spells. Wotc would have needed to fix part of the reason why fighter is already too good right out of the gate & only getting better as levels advance to justify the changes being suggested much sooner rather than letting it sit for so many years. Personally I dislike the lack of squishiness on the wizard & other arcane full casters* because it erodes their ability to be awesome casters & justifies the LWQF. For the record I'd do away with cantrips as written & tie them to nonscaling wands/staffs/etc while reworking spells themselves so magic feels impressive when dropped rather than generally beinh just mediocre *Bard should not have been a full caster [/QUOTE]
