[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8145706, member: 93670"] I had similar experiences trying that. The most notable thing about this thread is that someone is trying to bash their head against the opposite side of how people normally seem to try going about changing it. [USER=3424]@FireLance[/USER] that might seem like a reasonable inference, but there is an entirely different imbalanced subsystem to make (many) more one off house rules become needed or throw off the math supporting your reasonable assumption on the value of those lesser slots. First is the overuse of concentration to guarantee the wizard will almost never be able to multitask & really leverage it. Second is the fact that eldritch blast & fireball are not the only massively underleveled spells. Those [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/177-spell-spotlight-fireball']"intentionally overtuned"[/URL] spells* are generally so much better than every other spell of that level that it dramatically distorts the landscape. * No wotc won't make it easy on you by admitting which spells but burning hands, scorching ray, & fireball are three of them clocking in at a 2.5 level spell in a 1st level slot, a 3rd level spell in a second level slot & a [I]fifth[/I] level spell in a third level slot respectively.
