They tried to lower the power of casters in 4E and it was a full fledged riot. Pathfinder responded by UPPING caster power (and nerfing martials even!), like a recently divorced dad showering their kids with gifts and privileges on visitation weekend. The caster crowd learned a new magic word - verisimilitude! Invoke it and designers quake in fear at the loudest voices with such limited imagination they couldn't even fathom who would WANT to imagine their character jumping 30 feet without spending a spell slot and breaking a grasshopper leg.So naturally all the headway that was gained in 4E was tossed out like a sack of moldy tangerines. And we're back to the caster power fantasy that 5E is. Since it's a superhero game for the vast majority of the classes, they may as well bring the 4 outliers up to par.</blockquote>
