[QUOTE="Radaceus, post: 6855741, member: 6796086"] Having played, as well as DM NPC'd, several wizards now, I feel this is not a problem. A wizard worth their salt will pat out her spellbook with sufficient spells to take advantage of Bonus Actions, and Reactions, to get them to the next short rest. It is very hard not to take [URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/misty-step"]Misty Step[/URL], no matter what type of wizard you are, this should be in your spellbook as necessity. Though if you are like me, you might try to play something different that focusses purely on one school, or on an element. I like [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/flaming-sphere"]Flaming Sphere[/URL][/I], but one of my favourite bonus actions for my wizard is [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/unseen-servant"]Unseen Servant[/URL][/I] Especially, and more importantly, is getting to cast it as a ritual that lasts an hour Aside from casting time of Bonus Action, the wizard has a good repertoire of concentration spells (as well as a few spells like Unseen Servant which requires no concentration) which utilize a Bonus Action. other good uses of bonus action via concentration: [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/dancing-lights"]Dancing Lights[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/dust-devil"]Dust Devil[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/melfs-minute-meteors"]Melf's Minute Meteors[/URL][/I]{another of my favorites} [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/storm-sphere"]Storm Sphere[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/animate-objects"]Animate Objects[/URL][/I]{and another} [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/bigbys-hand"]Bigby's Hand[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/spells/mordenkainens-sword"]Mordenkainen's Sword[/URL] [/I]{Likewise} So in summary, yes not to many Bonus action casting times, but there are still several options along the way as you level [/QUOTE]
