[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7390383, member: 23"] But this frees those low level slots for utility. There always has been a tension between "do I use this spell slot to blast, or to solve problems". Now with decent attack cantrips, the caster can get a *lot* of utility out of her magic. Not to mention the utility cantrips themselves! The whole "tier" system of classes btw, has never been about who can kick most butt, but about versatility. There are three scenarios (deal with a dragon troubling an area, help a city defend itself from an incoming invasion, contact a leader of an underground rebellion in a tyrannical kingdom and win their trust) and you see how effective each class is in those scenarios. Versatility is what gets you to tier 1. This is a good point - it can be quite challenging to "build" a versatile spell list if you only have a few known spells... I'll also comment that the Paladin being in your list, combined with its quite significant combat prowess... no wonder it's perhaps the best class of 5e... [/QUOTE]
