Those are ranged attacks for the most part, and a spell caster getting to use them every round is assuming, obviously, that he isn't in HtH. If you run more encounters with a number of monsters equal to or exceeding the number of PCs then that spellcaster will end up in HtH more often. Obviously this doesn't impact the melee caster who's spamming booming blade or green flame blade but I don't think those casters are the main issue for this thread. The above doesn't address the impact of removing cantrips, but I do think it's important to think about in terms of what cantrips are used for in a lot of games and how often they can be used.</blockquote>
