[QUOTE="Melkor, post: 5997669, member: 10786"] Pardon me if these questions have been asked and answered already. I have tried to look through as much info as I can before asking. • Minor Spells / Orisons - Is there a limit to the number of times these can be cast in a day, or are they just "at will, all the time?" • Sorceror's Dragon Breath - I can't find at what level the sorceror obtains this, and how often it can be used. Am I just missing it? • Can any character take any background? The last one seems to blur the archetype line quite a bit...A High Elf Fighter with a Thief background is a true McGuyver. If I am reading things right, he could cast Magic Missile at will, fight like a mother#$%^er, and have access to some Thief Abilities. Now that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly doesn't feel like classic AD&D for those wanting the option to play in that style (unless the DM restricts backgrounds - then, I guess it feels like the Basic Fighter/Magic User). But that High Elf Fighter with the Thief background using Deadly Strike expertise dice, casting Magic Missile at will, and with access to some Thief Abilities seems to even be able to do enough damage (upped Longsword damage to D10 + expertise dice Deadly Strike) to make the Thief backstab not so appealing because it requires advantage....so he's kind of a McGuyver. Thoughts? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
