What would you say is the biggest problem with Wizards, Clerics, Druids, and other "Tier 1" Spellcasters?

[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6077876, member: 22779"] Not a bad list Loonook. I could live with most of these: Not sure about this one to be honest. For one, most of the spell components (unless you also want to go through every spell and change those) are hardly rare or difficult to get. Pinch of sand for a sleep spell? Not exactly hard. Some might be a bit tricky, but, for the most part, it's not a huge deal. And the casters are already getting reamed with book keeping. I'd also point out that this only really affects wizards as the cleric and druid are mostly using their focus. I'd go with a different fix. Limit size. If you can only polymorph into a large or smaller creature, that gets around a LOT of the issues. No more Behir polymorph cheese. You could also possibly cut it down to certain monster types as well - Animals and magical beasts, for example - would bring the spell way back in line. Good... good... That's a bit stickier. For one, a lot of the spells are pretty darn vague. I mean, what does that mean when I'm casting Spectral Force? There's a spell with a LOT of leeway. Look at all the disagreement on what Charm actually means. I like the intent, but, I'm thinking that you'd have to do a massive rewrite on the spell section in the PHB in order to achieve this. Works. Yeah, I 'd be behind this. I think this goes a long way towards fixing the issue. [/QUOTE]
