[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 5953966, member: 61501"] I do not have a clear view on what any of the classes out side Wizard & Cleric represent so I have no views on how they should get their spells. None of them have strong flavour or mechanics that transcend editions. So I like the 5e Wizards & Cleric so far. I hope they both get a far more limited number of slots than in 3e & earlier as I believe that is one underpinning of their superness. For the other classes I would like them to be mechanically distinct so that if you want to play a "Simple" caster you pick the warlock how has at wills with a couple of augments. If you fancy something in between this & the wizard you take the sorcerer who uses spontaneous casting. (for example relating back to 3e not because those specifically are what I want). I would be happy if the "martial" classes worked the same way. The Fighter is the simple one with big attacks. The duellist uses light armour & flashy manoevres hard wired in. The Gladiator has a suite of limited use trick he can pull out. I just don't want to be in the position that if I play a character who hits people with swords it will be mechanically simple with few options. Yeah way to rant about something OT :) [/QUOTE]
