All non-Tortle starting wizards and sorcerers have Dex 14-16 in my experience. Do you know how much more damage True Strike does than a crossbow with a Dex 16 wizard from levels 1-3? Zero points. Zip. Nada. Bupkiss. On a dex 16 wizard or sorcerer True Strike is literally worthless at range from levels 1-3 and unless you do a lot of juggling so you can drop the crossbow entirely and use your staff two handed is worth a single point of melee damage over simply shanking someone with a dagger.If a Dex 16 wizard or sorcerer with +5 to hit and 1d8+3 damage with a light crossbow doing slightly more damage than a firebolt wasn't a problem for the past nine and a bit years I don't think it's a problem now. And if it is a problem? The problem doesn't lie with True Strike.Because there is literally no way to "reduce the damage a bit" from levels 1-4 without simply gutting the spell by making it not work like weapon attacks. And by doing so making it objectively worse than a dex 16 wizard/sorcerer pulling a light crossbow, which means it is not fit for purpose. Which means the only freedom to reduce the damage you have is to reduce the d6 to d4.So is keeping it as is, far faffier to use than firebolt.</blockquote>
