Message: <blockquote data-quote="yakuba" data-source="post: 5988526" data-attributes="member: 6698582">I'd like to see wizards in DDN limited in three specific ways:1) Spell Effect limitations.The developers seem to have already taken this to heart. Save or screwed spells have hard hit point limits that seem like they will make it difficult to dominate all encounters, especially encounters with strong monsters. Encounters with many weak creatures are still a wizard sweet spot and that's fine.  They've explicitly said that exploration/social spells should not overshadow exploration/social skill specialists. I'm satisfied here.2) Spells KnownHaving too many known spells allows for too much versatility. I'd like to see Wizards know 2-3 leveled spells at 1st and gain only one additional spell known per level, with explicit options for buying, stealing, inventing spells. It should require significant effort for a wizard to have a big spellbook with a spell for every occasion. I prefer this to forcing limits that forcing specialization. Specialization should be a choice. The playtest gives 3 new spells per level, that's far too much for me right now.3) Total leveled spells/day and spell levelsIf spells refresh daily, you cannot allow wizards to have 30, 40, 50 leveled spells to cast each day. I'd like to see the number of leveled spells limited to 16-20 and the total number of spell levels castable llimited to 40-60. The best way to do this would be to make it so that beyond a certain spell levels have to be 'purchased' via giving up lower level spell levels. For example, Let the 10th level spell progression be:4-1  4- 2   4-3   4-4  4-5 60 total levelsAt 11th you learn a 6th level spell but you have give up a 4th and 2nd level slot, or any other combination, in order to have 1 6th level slot to cast that spell.I think these changes allow me, a wizard lover, to have a really fun character I would love to play, without overshadowing the other characters in the party.</blockquote>
