[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 7847662, member: 3424"] Why just wizards? Wouldn't it also represent a similar encroachment for clerics, druids and paladins? For that matter, why aren't clerics, druids and paladins, who can change out all their prepared spells after each long rest AND have access to every spell on their spell list equally a kick in the crotch to wizards? The only reason I can think of is to believe that the initial 5e distribution of class abilities represents some Platonic ideal of class balance, and I do not. Honestly, this reminds me of a quote from David Eddings's Seeress of Kell. "Garion was startled, even a little awed by the single-mindedness of the Spirit of the Child of Dark. The thing was as implacable and as unchangeable as adamantine rock. He perceived that it did not change because it could not. He began to grope his way toward something which seemed significant. Light could change. Every day was testimony to that. Dark could not. Then it was at last that he understood the true meaning of the eternal division which had rent the universe apart.
