[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 9330919, member: 7015698"] Hmmm.... I don’t know if I would call it a nerf but when it comes to 5e I always felt like the scope of things a Wizard can do was too big and the specialization too toothless resulting in their subclass being bland and uninteresting. I would cut down the number of spells automatically learned in half, you only get 1 spell whenever you gain one. This would have the effect of freeing up a power budget for the subclass to have more impact.
