That can allow the delivery of some fairly devastating firepower very easily, or some nasty damage/CC combos - or just two helpings of CC if the first one isn't very successful or if they work in different ways.Frankly though the best solution is probably just to get rid of Quicken (and any similar effects), or make it like, 1/day or something. Or maybe limit it to spells that don't do damage or inflict conditions on enemies? Because if we only look at slot spells that are "naturally" Bonus Actions, I don't think any of those cause a problem when combo'd with Action slot spells.BG3 shows when it is and isn't a problem pretty well though.When you're just casting a normal Action spell and a normal Bonus Action spell, that burn slots and isn't typically a problem. It's a power increase, but not a huge one, and it feels pretty right, too.When BG3 gives you its ludicrously overpowered version of Haste, which gives you two Actions, straight up, and you use both of those to cast nasty attack spells (whether damage or CC or both), then that is obviously ridiculously powerful. Likewise using Quickened spell to cast two (or more, with Haste) spells that are normally Actions.Misty Step is already incredibly useful and arguably a must-have so no change there. I don't think I've seen a caster who could have it not have it ever in 5E, or rather where they did, they got it as their next spell.</blockquote>
