[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9139657, member: 7034710"] i don't really have an issue with unlimited cantrips, mostly cause i advocate for casters getting less slots and having to ration them properly, though i'd be fine with not letting cantrips be as powerful/scale as well as they currently do, being a spellcaster is about having spikes, having produce flame (not fire bolt) as your main damage cantrip leaves you behind the curve than the martial with a warhammer of greatsword but that's made up for when you drop that AoE fireball and fry half a room of enemies. the wizard being reliant on a crossbow or a dagger feels to me like one of those things that [I]seems like it makes sense[/I] because it's always been a thing in DnD and started in editions that were tonally very different from 5e, but when you do think about it and distance yourself from the shadow of DnD tradition it kinda seems weird in 5e imo "my wizard fires their crossbow" "your [I]wizard[/I] fires their [I]crossbow?[/I]" "yeah, that's right" "they don't, oh i dunno, use [I]magic[/I] or something?" "nah, they use a weapon" [/QUOTE]
