[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8517908, member: 6987520"] Gandalf and Merlin are the big ones for me, but I am old school and don't care much for the more modern versions of wizardy-types. True, low level casters can't model some of what Gandalf and Merlin do, but that's because they aren't low level really. (Yeah, I know about the 5th-level Gandalf thing...). That's a very good break-down. Focusing on wizardy-types, 1 is mostly where it is at for me, but I would add that I also like to see more support casting and encounter-altering spells when used in battle. No, you really don't in many ways. The bolded part is essential what we do now with our 5E mod. You begin with 2 spell slots + additional slots equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (typically +3) at level 1. By level 20 you have 30 spell slots (for full caster), but don't get access to 8th or 9th level spells until tier 4. Here is the full table if you are curious: [ATTACH type="full" width="667px"]150237[/ATTACH] We are currently on the fence about keeping Bard a half-caster or restoring them to full-caster.
