The fact that it doesn't line up with player expectations is a different, though quite valid, concern. Come to think, I'm a little surprised elementalist monks didn't get a few more options...but it looks to me that druids and sorcerers get more love than wizards with the spell list additions. And the races are pretty class-agnostic. Aarakocra make good monks and rangers. Svirfneblin are good wizards but even more kick-ass rogues (or the blended arcane trickster). Genasi are delightful as any class, though they have certain preferences (Air Genasi are good archer-fighters, Earth Genasi are strong, mobile melee fighters and great barbarians, fire genasi will see some use as wizards but they'd make better eldritch knights!, water genasi are one of the few non-dwarf races that makes a kick-butt cleric). Goliaths are solid fighters and barbarians. But anyway, I guess that's to say that I see a few gaps that could've been filled, but I wouldn't characterize this as "mostly cool stuff for Wizards." ....in fact an EK could get a lot of these new spells...hm....</blockquote>
