[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6355882, member: 996"] The effort required to gain levels of Wizard is /exactly/ the same as the effort required to gain levels in any other class. 5e has no INT score requirements. Looks like magic is officially easy. So, casters can automatically cast earth-shaking 9th level spells. Non-casters can automatically do things that are trivially easy. But there's no double-standard? Also, skills aren't a fighter thing, they're a background thing - everyone has backgrounds. Sure, everyone does. That's how the 5e skill system works. If the DM decides something is so easy you can't possibly screw it up, he doesn't call for a check. Nothing to do with class whatsoever. Right now, most spells are simply automatic. Adding a chance of failure on the caster side would still be resolving those spells with only one roll. It could be the same roll as used to attack. At that point, every spell gets resolved with a single die roll - or, at most, two if a save is called for. Nothing sacrificed. [/QUOTE]
