Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neonchameleon" data-source="post: 9354960" data-attributes="member: 87792">The thing is this isn't always about power. I can tell you in order of preference what my favourite character classes in D&D 5e are - but the link between them isn't the obvious one.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Warlock</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Artificer</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">= Ranger, Bard, Sorcerer (sorcerer last because the pre-Tashas's class is so flawed)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Wizard</li> </ol>This has nothing to do with power or even being arcane casters. What it's about is that all these classes have actual, meaningful character growth choices after third level other than a feat every few levels (that will probably be an ASI anyway).When two life clerics level up what they gain is exactly the same. They gain the same class features, and the ability to prep the same spells which they can switch over on an 8 hour rest. Once you have chosen "Life Cleric" (at L1 no less) you're basically advancing on rails unless you go outside your class entirely. Two Echo Knights likewise. Meanwhile if you've picked Warlock you decide what spells and what invocations you gain each time you level up. Two warlocks probably both have Eldritch Blast (I've played ones without). But their spells and invocations are almost never the same - and can be picked to reflect the local situation and what they have learned. Wizards are behind rangers, sorcerers, and bards because their spells are equipment as much as they are a part of who they are. It would take longer for wizards to swap over.And I am very much looking forward to the base sorcerer getting enough rather than cripplingly few spell slots.</blockquote>
