[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6589020, member: 996"] Save chances are not that high, and only proficient saves remotely keep up with rising save DCs. As far as 'limits put on casting,' 5e casters face very few. They don't provoke AoOs, having no risk losing spells when they cast them in melee. Component requirements aren't as stringent as they used to be, especially compared to AD&D. Casters have more spells at 1st level than they did in classic editions, and play speeds through those first few levels rapidly. Wizards prepare spells every day, but cast them spontaneously, combining the tactical flexibility of 3.5 sorcerers with the strategic flexibility they had in 3.5 - 5e prepped casters are the most flexible, least-limited they've ever been. So they have fewer spell slots - how many are likely to be wasted on a spell you didn't need now that they cast them spontaneously? And, rough as concentration may seem on certain spells, it also reduces the impetus to layer buffs on the party, which also reduces the pressure on spell slots. [/QUOTE]
