Upper at Tenkar's Prevent, Erik's alter-ego the Brusque Dwarf has been post a series of spicy articles everyplace he takes WotC's several postings about 5E and thus skewers them with his commentary. I'm enjoying the series.The extra is on Mike Mearls' extra post on the matter for Wizards in 5E. Point worsening the Brusque Dwarf's reading between the unfriendliness, the provide evidence is a big WTF?They don't be interested in the Wizard to suffocate the other classes. They don't be interested in the Wizard casting too profuse spells per day. They be interested in the Wizard to unfailingly be bright to cast a spell. They be interested in the Wizard to be a useful toolbox of creative solutions to problem. They don't be interested in the Wizard to be a "buffer." They be interested in the Wizard to be good at buffing the rest of the picture.Seriously, what is leaving on here?They be interested in to cut down the Wizard's spell list so they don't sustain so profuse options. But they be interested in to declare "at chi" cantrips (stolen from Pathfinder) which chi obtain at smallest one bump into power (4E). So the Wizard chi unfailingly sustain "something to do." But the "real spells" chi be high-class limited. And with the limiting of the spell list and the request to not sustain too profuse put out of misery spells or utility spells that can lead to creative carrying out solving, doesn't that mean a spell list limited to principally attack/defense spells? I've played a 4E Wizard, and that's what they're recounting abandon offering. And attack me, it wasn't fun. Yet at the awfully time, they be interested in to increase Wizards to get all creative, and DMs to use the dreaded DM Fiat to expertise on such creative uses. So instead of recalcitrant to build an arise that chi bring everybody together, it sounds would like they're abandon on course to piss off Someone, with the Wizard at smallest.
