Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 9161649" data-attributes="member: 996">Not consistently.Like the TSR era Thief being kept around for lockpicking meant that the 5e wizard had to get a Knock Loudly, spell, even tho the Rogue had long since moved on to Sneak Attacking dpr and general skill monkeying, and any 5e class could take a background like Urchin and pick up Tool Use to pick locks, and the Bard, could do so with Expertise.... ... and that's like, about it on niche protection impacting the Wizard......well that and the hoary "Wizards 'can't' heal," protecting the<s> Cleric's niche</s>Wizard's slots from being used to heal....But, mostly niche protection is just, like, the Monk is unarmed guy, so everyone must suck at fighting unarmed (which is easy, because fighting armed in melee kinda sucks in 5e already), or the rogue is good at skills so the fighter must be bad at skills, or the fighter is best at fighting so the rogue must be bad at fighting....</blockquote>
