[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5663821, member: 6669384"] I think that part of it has been the constant stream of new spells coming from WOTC, over the years. And while "new" 3.5 stuff is pretty much done with, the field is pretty well flooded at this point. Every setting book had spells, every specialty book had spells, every new Prestige class had spells. They just kept coming, and most spell casters could take advantage of the added range and power almost as soon as the ink hit the paper. On the counterbalance, while they can add new feats and PRCs for fighter types, any given character is limited in what they can take. They only have so many feats to choose from in their career, while a Wiz, Cleric, or Druid can gain access to new spells just about as soon as the books become available. Heck, even Rangers and Paladins can grab new spells as soon as they're approved, though for them it's like taking an hors d'ovres plate to a banquet. It's only Bards, Sorcerers and the like who have fixed "spells known" lists that can't take advantage of the bounty. And, of course, the actual fighters, Rogues, Barbarians, etc. They're stuck at "Swing sword". [/QUOTE]
