[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9415099, member: 7030563"] Squishies are not very squishy in 5E. Upcast False Life and the Shield spell alone or Armor of Agathys, will put Wizards, Sorcerers and Warlocks on roughly the same level as Barbarians and that is without trying. Add in Absorb Elements, Silvery Barbs and other options like Strength of the Grave, Tomb of Levistus, Arcane Ward, Misty Step, etc and "squishies" are generally way less squishy in play than martials. I had my Wizard get swallowed by a purple worm. I simply used my action to access my familiar's senses and misty stepped right out of the stomach. I was pretty heavily damaged from the bite and being swallowed, but would have been a lot worse off inside the worm's stomach. That is not all though, I could have just as easily used absorb elements from inside the stomach to reduce the damage to a mediocre amount or used absorb elements and dimension door to accomplish the same without a familiar and taking only half the acid damage. If I had lightning Bolt (which I didn't), I could have used absorb elements and probably made the worm cough me up from taking excessive damage. [/QUOTE]
