This way, if you want to be proficient with some other extra stuff, you can, and it doesn't effect anyone else. So yeah, that seems to be their reasoning behind it, and I like it personally.totally agree, I don't think anyone will play it this way, and I don't think it will ever be an issue, but it is weirdly worded. Except, then you get people with absurd armor classes very quickly, and bounded accuracy would make it that much worse. A 4th level fighter could easily have the armor class of the tarrasque with a focus on AC. See, the opposite is actually what makes little sense to me. Why on earth should a 20th level wizard only be able to cast 6 cantrips a day? Can he seriously not muster up the power to cast Light 7 times? That's utterly ludicrous, and makes them somewhat useless. At least with unlimited cantrips you can find some use for them by casting them over and over.</blockquote>
