[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8498176, member: 59057"] I am totally torn between both approaches. A big problem of casters as enemies always has been, that they are encountered fully rested in most cases. So they always punch way over a non caster. And if you know the system as a DM well, it is a boring fight: fireball, shield, fireball, shield, fireball, shield. (Or something like that). At least with the new approach, you get some variation. Actually, In the playtest there was a rule that yoi can't spam the same spell over and over again. Probably some recharge mechanic for PC spellcasters could be nice too. That would greatly nerf some over the top spells. Something as simple as: you can't cast the same spell twice in a row as your action a prepared spellcaster (wizard/cleric/druid/paladin/Artificer). You might allow casting the same spell twice in a row if you prepare it twice and so on. [/QUOTE]
