[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6650942, member: 82106"] Well, I would think maybe a character with more of a repertoire of self-targeting buffs. Its hard to be sure which spells fall into the EK's usual repertoire given the lack of an index of spell schools, but IIRC most of the good self-buffs are transmutations. You CAN get some of those, and I guess with the way spell slots work you could always burn all your casting chances on them, but the wizard list isn't really the best one for such spells. So, maybe I'd like to see a more tailored list, with Haste, Strength, Stone Skin, etc sort of stuff on it (again, the EK does get some of these). Really, the EK is NOT bad, and I have always said that I think 5e covers the majority of archetypes in a more convenient way than pretty much any other edition. Honestly, my big beef with it is it just doesn't do the particular style of game that 4e was especially good at all that well, and that's the type we seem to play these days. [/QUOTE]
