I definitely noticed the same thing when running some playtest material a few packets back, but it may have also been due to a combat-heavy session. Even so, I definitely prefer the flexibility inherent in the 5e system to the old "magic missile x 3, flaming sphere x3, fireball x2, fly" stuff. You still might not use something like feather fall, but the slot's not wasted since you can use it for something else. Whereas in the old days a wizard with four spells of one level might only have two prepped (with multiple copies), now she'll always have four prepped. I haven't run/played enough 5e to be absolutely certain, but I really do think I prefer the new system.FTR I'm old-skool too (I started on mostly 1e with a dash of BECMI).</blockquote>
