[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8289192, member: 58172"] Yeah. I would love for a UA to come out with an item-by-item tweak of all of the spells. Which spells need concentration definitely needs doublechecking. Generally, 5e is excellent for having removed broken-overpowered spells. But there are way too many broken-underpowered spells littering the spell lists. Some spells work better if available sooner at a lower slot. A legacy spell like Legend Lore way up in slot 5 seems unworthy of the slot when the History skill obsoletes it. Skill checks have replaced many spells. Some spells need a rewrite, and some spells might as well be removed. It is probably better to normalize the damage of Fireball spell in line with the amount of damage of other damage spells. Maybe the advantage of the fire damage type is it tends to have a wider area of effect that targets more creatures. Mobility spells need levels that correspond better to how powerful the spell actually is. And so on. Cantrip damage needs to be more effective at higher levels − the damage is low to begin with, and resistances make even this become almost negligible. I would like if the tiers increased fivefold, corresponding to the proficiency bonus levels: 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20. Spells need a clean-up. [/QUOTE]
