[QUOTE="Zaran, post: 6408498, member: 56710"] I have been underwhelmed with the 5e Wizard. I think almost all the schools are weak. I dislike that wizards only get 1 of each high level spell slot. They don't start with enough cantrips that I think an apprentice would have. There is no generalist wizard. Cantrip damage is so weak when compared to martial characters (Not just a wizard issue). There is a big disparity in spells. Why does Bigby's Hand do more damage than Mordenkanen's sword? There aren't many good feats for a wizard to select. Personally, I think that WotC was afraid to give any kind of bonus to this class. People argue "well, they have so much versatility in spell selection" So? I still feel like wizards were overly nerfed. because of balance issues in 3rd edition. I can see some of that but I think it was taken too far. [/QUOTE]
