[QUOTE="FrozenNorth, post: 8425961, member: 7020832"] I also voted Wizard. It is by far the worst-designed class in the game. I am fine with a class whose specialty is versatility, but the wizard doesn’t really “give up” anything in exchange for that versatility. It doesn’t help that later splatbooks tend to print spells that allow wizards to encroach even more on other characters’ territories. Vicious Mockery is a cool, Bard-exclusive cantrip…until Frostbite came along. Flame Arrows makes sense for Rangers, but let’s give it to Wizards as well at a much earlier level. Hey, let’s make Wizard gishes as well! ThankBladesinger subclass! Tasha’s contained tons of spells for wizards, and scraps for other spellcasters. The flavour of the subclasses is pretty meaningless when wizards can cherrypick spells from any school. I’ve played with an abjurer that never cast abjuration spells and a diviner that never cast divination spells. I honestly think that there would be fewer spellcaster vs. non-spellcaster threads if the typical spellcaster were a sorcerer rather than a wizard. [/QUOTE]
