[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6327876, member: 6696971"] Its crazy. I was sure, if nothing else, they would get this one facet right. This part of the system were two of the 5e design aims (at least I thought they were aims...perhaps not) that I found most agreeable. And how hard is it to achieve reasonable saving throw parity and bounded math? Bob: Suzy, you're in charge of saving throw parity. For levels 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9, add up the spells in those groupings that have saving throws. Divide them by 6. Each saving throw needs that many number of spells allotted to them and find some kind of way to have it make sense. I mean ability scores are silly anyway. Just make it work and get me a sandwich and some coffee when you're done. In an hour. Bob: Jack, you're in charge of making sure that each class pretty much has 3 good saves and 3 saves that are 2-3 less than those good saves throughout the life of any given character. Bounded accuracy etc. Ok. A bit more difficult but that is because I like Suzy better than you. She makes better coffee than you and isn't a lazy, neckbeardy, lurkey fellow. You have 3 hours. And business casual actually means a collared shirt. Don't give me that look. Suzy and Jack: Grumble grumble... [/QUOTE]
