[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7298375, member: 6919838"] I dont think so, as the discussion back and forth back then bore out a variety of opinions. They key point of the comparison was that several other classes of similar levels also have as much or more "vs the mundane" breaking abilities and that by 11th level the game has either evolved to the point where chalkenge that matters is much much more than what a non-magical small town can handle. As for the "want to hold spell slots" most characters i know use spells and other abilities to achieve their goal and assuming an 11th level mage out to spend a night cs a small town is not going to party with some 2nd or 3rd level slots to get it is not reasonable. The difference between unlimited and expendable is not a distinction that matters much if both have enough to get the job done. A fighter can also swing his sword an unlimited number of times compared to spell use but i have not seen folks arguing we cant compare them or apples and oranges or whatever dismissal phrase one wants to use when it comes to a concept of effectiveness vs challenge. But some might disagree. Sent from my VS995 using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205]EN World mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
