Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9478111" data-attributes="member: 7030563">I get it, the huge change does little for me as most of the spells I was getting were abjurations (Shield, Protection from Evil and Good, Absorb Elements, Arcane Lock, Lemund's Tiny Hut).There are other spells I want, most notably Find Familiar and the new mirror image, but not many of them and not enough to be overly worried about the expanded spell list.There are two reasons the expanded spell list is not a big deal.  The first, specific to my play style, is most of them work better with a higher intelligence and mine won't be good enough to be be good at them.  The second, which is really an issue for all single class EKs is that they do not get enough slots or high enough level spells to be very effective as a caster in general.  Even with the whole list to choose from you are still only casting 1st and 2nd level spells at 12th level, and not many of them.  When you consider this, abjurations are logically what is going to gobble up a lot of those slots anyway, because casting a web at 12th level, even if you have a 16 intelligence is just not going to be generally effective compared to other things you can do.</blockquote>
