[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9582208, member: 7030563"] An 20th level caster has 22 spell slots and that is before you consider things like Arcane Recovery and at will abilities that don't use slots (like the aforementioned Hypnotic Gaze). It is very rare that you will run out of slots at that level even if you have no gear at all. For a full caster resource management, when it comes to lower level slots, ceases being an issue after level 12 or so (earlier if you have gear). The real resource management is deciding when you should use your 7+ level slots since those are rather limited, but you can pretty much spam the lower level slots. For half casters or multiclass Gish PCs like my current character, it still usually isn't an issue. I might not have 22 slots, but I have 2 4th level Warlock slots and a 5th level caster worth of other slots. I am attacking a lot though (with Truestrike or Booming Blade) so usually I have a slot available if I want to throw a particular spell. Right now bonus action economy is a far bigger issue for me than spell slots. My character has Divine Smite, Wrathful Smite, Step of the Fey, Misty Escape, Invesment of the Chain Master, Hex, Armor of Agathys, Bardic Inspiration, Steady Aim, Mage Hand Legerdemain, Lay on Hands and Cunning Action. Figuring which one of those to use for my bonus action on a turn is a bigger issue than the resource cost is if I choose one with a cost. [/QUOTE]
