[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8084256, member: 6987520"] Well, there's a whole lot of assuming going on here... First, although I might be taking away [I]some[/I] of their high magic goodies, I am giving them more lower level slots, which are still very useful. It I was just removing high magic entirely, I would agree it is a complete nerf, but I am not. If the PCs have only one encounter during a day, and decide to use their high magic, then good for them. If they don't need to use it, they won't. At tier 4 with 5 or 6 high magics per long rest, they can use one nearly every encounter and know they might need to hold on to that [I]last[/I] one in case they need it later. That idea of holding on to it until you [I]need[/I] it is what makes it more interesting IMO. Anyway, beholders with proper support are great and months ago we had an encounter with one which disintegrated 2 of the 6 PCs during the series of battles we had against it.
