[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6434572, member: 6689464"] Ok, glad you two found the root of the issue. Yes wizards have less useful spells, but they can be more versatile by virtue of spontaneous casting, and ritual casting. I still hold that was a terrible mistake, as it forced a nerf of everything else. Well, it was necessary, being both spontaneous and able to change spells everyday is a fairly potent ability. I now wonder, which is the excuse for sorcerers, they now have worse spells -at lower levels they can only pick from the exact same nerfed spells wizards can, and very few spells at later levels not on the wizard list, none of them exclusive-, less spell slots -4 to 5 slots at first level became 2 slots, and downhill from there-, less spells to pick from, no familiar, worse weapons, and no change in their reduced spells known -at first level, at later levels they know less and less spells than before-, no ritual casting to speak from either. The class is way worse in many aspects, and it wasn't that powerful to begin with. [/QUOTE]
