[QUOTE="Roguedeus, post: 6136203, member: 6695751"] If it is, I would guess it is due to the fact that Fighters require a weapon and armor (at minimum), and Wizards require only their spell book (indirectly) and free use of their hands and voice. Perhaps adding a hint of gear restriction to spell casting will help level the playing field, so to peak. I wouldn't consider components a limiting factor on the level of spell slots. After all, gaining new slots is a factor of class level, where components are simply a factor of cost, and like enchanted arrows, minor limiting factor in uses and scale over time. Especially when away from readily available markets. I only suggest 3 levels of general components. Nothing as byzantine as some 2ed rules suggested. Instead of a ball of bat guano and a pinch of sulfur, you subtract 3 'mundane' components from your pool. A very minor addition to resource tracking...
