[QUOTE="Monayuris, post: 8536820, member: 6859536"] cantrips like mage hand, light, message really impinge on other classes… making rogues less necessary. Why do you need a rogue to handle traps when you can just safely mage hand everything? You don’t need to scout and report when you just have cellphones. Light makes any kind of resource stress negated. Then if not reducing spells per day, there should be reduced spell recovery per rest. This may be a function of resting being broken in 5E. The problem is that spellcasters get enough castings per day to basically use all their spells all the time. The adventuring day is supposed to put pressure on wizard spell resources but fails to do so because of the ease of spell recovery.
