[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 8001737, member: 5834"] I"m thinking of letting casters add weapon specialization damage to cantrips. I don't see a problem with it right now. I think part of the reason they didn't is because casters can do insane damage at higher levels with bursty spells versus martial better round to round damage. But I don't know. it seems cool to let casters use weapon specialization with cantrips. I did wreck a party with a lich unloading AoE spells on them. I should have known a critical fail on an 8d12 spell would do nasty damage, but it didn't register until my player critically failed and took 110 points of damage when a critical fail doubled the spell base damage. That is super nasty at higher level. I was reading that cataclysm level 10 spell which does like 21d10 damage. If you critically failed that spell save, ouch. You could wreck a large enemy group. Maybe I won't let them use weapon specialization. I'll see after they hit lvl 20 in age of ashes and how I feel. [/QUOTE]
