Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leatherhead" data-source="post: 5909417" data-attributes="member: 53176">I am concerned.Cantrips as At-Will Magic: This is one of those things that would have to be shredded in a test environment. Things like Multi-classing could throw this for loops. And I have to wonder if no scaling applies to the at wills too. It would would be very bad to be stuck with 1d4+1 damage basic attacks while the fighter is whooping it up with 3 (or even 5) 2d6+10 greatsword strikes.Keep Spells Under Control/Reducing Total Spell Slots/Spells Don't Automatically Scale:  The obvious problem here; Is a level 1 spell going to be worth casting past level one? These combined are throwing up a huge red flag for me.Spellcasting Is Dangerous: That's not really dangerous, that's just difficult. But then again I was never a fan of chaos mages, giving one player of a group the ability to randomly die or cause a TPK isn't even remotely balanced.Keep Magic Items Under Control: The scroll thing sounds kind of interesting, but I have to wonder why that kind of mechanic wouldn't be applied to the wizards spellbook proper. I would also like to know how a non-wizard is supposed to use such items. I kind of liked fighters being able to use wands.Keep Buff Spells Under Control: An easy way to do this is to limit the amount (or power) of buff spells that a target can have. It would also significantly reduce the amount of in-game math you would have to work out.Creativity, Not Dominance: I thought improvisation was the root of the "quadratic wizard" problem.  On the other hand, if I can't improvise, I might as well just go play a video game. Improvisation is one of the most important parts of Tabletop RPGs to me.</blockquote>
