[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8728319, member: 7006"] If this is what is happening at your tables, then the desire to see things change is understandable. Unfortunately, I just don't know likely any of this will change via actions WotC could or would take? If all of the players at your table are playing spellcasters of various sorts... is that because they just enjoy what they can do? And if that's the case, then why should your boredom of seeing them be at all your business? Why should your boredom impact them? If they like casting spells... your desire to see Fighters and Rogues should not matter. If all the players at your table are playing spellcasters because they feel spellcasters are more powerful in 5E than martial weapon-users, then I would imagine a lot of those issues are as a result of how your particular DMs are running their games. There are ways to run 5E to certainly help and assist in overpowering spellcasters, so isn't that up to the DMs to change how they run things if they don't the spellcasters to be overpowered? How often do dispel magics, counterspells, antimagic fields, or monsters going straight after the casters appear in the game? These are all things that can help lower the power of spellcasters if that is a necessity. And since WotC knows this too... it doesn't seem to me to be an issue that WotC would feel like they need to do something to "fix" it. That's not to say they couldn't or won't change things down the line to help get your tables into more of a martial/caster balance... but at least in the short-term from my perspective it's really the table's actions that could "fix" things faster and more effectively than waiting on WotC. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
