See this? This right here? This is what I'm talking about. Guess what, remove the 1/2 per level and you get 5e. Instead of a treadmill, you get flat math where you start on the treadmill at 1st level and never get off. Your odds of success barely change from 1st to 20th level. Which, in play, is pretty much exactly the way 4e worked. But, because they phrase it differently, people think it's a big change.
Every class was the same. Unlike now where 33 out of the 36 classes cast spells. Yeah, that's a HUGE difference.![]()
No, it is not.
If you take away +1/2 per level then at 10th level, 1st level orc is still a threat. maybe not one, but 5 are.
But with added +5 attack and +5 AC, 10 orcs are a pushover.
About spell casting in 5e.
Yes, lot's of classes have spells, but they cast it at diferent power level, get them at a different rate and different number.
