Without them, things crash.  Their job is very important, but I don't want to be a network admin, even if they do have power I don't have.  There are any number of other positions and roles I could mention.  It's the same with an adventuring team.  People don't have to have exactly the same level of power or options in order to contribute and be part of a functioning team.  I accept that when I play a fighter, if I want to fly I either need to get a magic item or ask the wizard to cast a spell.  On the other hand, the wizard frequently has to make choices.  Cast prismatic spray or save a slot for teleport if they need it?  I don't always want to have to make those kind of choices.As far as changes?  Actual concrete, actionable suggestions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I could see tweaking how casters get back spells.  Not as a nerf so much as giving groups more flexibility.  Make it similar to arcane recovery which gives you back 1/2 your level in spell slots.  Instead make it X times your level in spell slots with 4 times your level during a long rest being enough to almost always get back all your spells (I'd have to double check math).  It gives people an option outside of the gritty rest rules I use to balance things out a bit, just lower X to the point that makes sense for your group.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I think fighters could use a bit of a boost.  Give them a second fighting style after 1st and after first level they can choose either another fighting style or get expertise in a skill.  Include the fighting styles from Tasha's in the core.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Make longbows versatile.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Grant more action surges and let them use action surges out of combat to get advantage on an ability skill check. Maybe.  I don't want to step on the rogue niche too much.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":unsure:" title="Unsure    :unsure:"  data-smilie="24"data-shortname=":unsure:" /> </li> </ul>So change how casters recover makes what spells they use when more costly if you care, give fighters an option to beef up combat or out of combat a little.  It doesn't change the nature of the game, but I don't think it needs that.P.S. If we can have a conversation about real, concrete changes that could happen, great. If we just go back to bickering I won't bother responding.</blockquote>
