And as for the "design" of it, I'm just using X1 - The Isle of Dread as published, trading in the nearest equivalent monster from the 5th edition Monster Manual, so the design is obviously not any harder now than it was back then.Then why did you say "By level 3-5 you can use bless in every single combat"? If you've had 12-14 encounters in one day, even once, how can you even believe yourself when you claim 6-8 spell slots is enough for "every single combat"?Yes, which spells are the good choices for using your lower level spell slots does change a bit as your character levels up - but that is a feature, not a bug, considering that it enables a caster to use every spell slot meaningfully while only having a limited array of spells to cast from.To address these statements in reverse order; No it isn't, and the reason you state bless gets better as you level is actually the reason why it doesn't - with higher proficiency and ability modifiers comes fewer rolls that fail, and thus fewer that fail by whatever the bless d4 rolled or less, and with more attacks per attack action comes less importance (from the game-play feel the player experiences point of view, which is the one that matters most) on each individual attack roll because missing once is only a complete failure if you can only attack once. For example you are level 7 and have used your higher level slots, what other level 1 or 2 cleric spell can compete with bless? And if you have a ranged encounter Spiritual Guardians is uselss, bless is not. As I said Bless is never bad.</blockquote>[/QUOTE]
