[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8792397, member: 18"] They're ahead, not on-par. Casters cannot fail. Expertise can. It's both. It absolutely is a direct increase in power to go to "on fail" from "before the DM says". That's unarguable. And I don't feel like pre-buffing Inspiration has any meaningful losses, and I say that having played Bards an absolute ton in 5E. This doesn't even make sense to me. Bards have to permanently pick spells. With Tasha's, they can slowly alter them, though if you believe Jeremy Crawford, if they ever change their Magical Secrets, they can only pick from Bard spells, even though Magical Secrets explicitly say otherwise, because of "natural language" (I wish I was kidding). So you don't have a "standard load out", you have to pick spells with broad usage. As someone who plays Druids and thus does prep spells, you absolutely change your spells some of the time. Not all the time, but enough. It's big. I'm aware, and both are bad decisions. Expertise would make more sense at 5th, and pushing up Font is just plain obnoxious. I mean, they've gone from almost none to none? At levels 1-5, I agree that it is a loss, so long as your group used Short Rests a bit (and most do). But above that? It's kind of meaningless. [/QUOTE]
