Reading through the spells beast bond seems pretty useful, telepathy with an animal you charmed or friendly + advantage if you are next to a bad guy, catapult is ripe for "Creative use" (fling an object 5lbs/spell level 90 feet in a straight line). Dust devil makes a great corridor blocker too. Skeleton squad just got better too, wizards can snap bad guys out of the air to remove hit and run with Earthbind (Str save or flight speed is reduced to 0 and you start falling 60 ft a round). Better news, you can now enchant your skeleton squads arrows with fire, extra D6 of damage per arrow for 12 arrows for a 3rd level slot.

In D&D it's really hard to splash for flavor, that was probably what they were thinking.

PurpleXVI posted:Yeah, the 3E feats in the core book were pretty representative of the overall utility of them, which makes sense since most feat designers probably used them as a guideline for power/functionality. The problem with that is when feats actively curtail action, like the pathfinder feat that implicitly means you can't do the old "Act like your cuffs are too tight to get the guard to come closer"

Even if it doesn't convince, it should help them better see where I'm coming from anyway. Yeah as Octopus said the bone zone as fun as it is to talk about 1 rounding a dragon with your skeleton army just point out how much damage and tankiness 2 castings of animate dead a day give you, it takes 3 spell slots (about 12 spell levels of it) to do more damage and have more HP than a same level fighter

I like "The spells copied into a spellbook must be of a spell level the wizard can prepare." So a wizard RAW can't have you know a cool spell he is researching/ wanting to learn later.

Remove rolling to hit, make damage ranges your variance in fights (which is in essence what rolling to hit does just with a probability spike towards dealing 0 damage) Similar to how advance wars combat works as an example. Did I just do better?
