You'll have 4th level spells with 6th level slots. I don't care about slots if I can't cast higher-level non-combat spells in them. It's not about boom--it's about being mage enough to plane shift into Baator and fighter enough to chop up devils with your sword.If I want a fighter/mage who can cast 7th level spells I have to take 13 levels of wizard, leaving only 7 levels of fighter. That's 13 levels of d6 HD, and all the spellcasting I'm getting out of eldritch knight is two cantrips and one 8th level spell slot (to use for 7th level or lower spells).Yes, it was a clunky system and I don't want to see them attempt to recreate it with all of its arbitrary restrictions and limits. I do want to see them attempt to capture the feel and benefits, which means feeling like a competent member of two classes at once. Obviously I wouldn't want them to be as vertically powerful as a single class character. I'd prefer something more along the lines of 70% of the vertical features of a single class in exchange for flexibility.I would too. That's why I have to wait for a article that hopefully comes sooner than later. I have done something that worked well enough in 3e, and I can do something for 5e, but I don'twant to have to. I guarantee it can be done in under a page.I'm okay with it being moved to web articles, but I hope it comes out within the first half of the year.</blockquote>
