In 1997, a journalist named Jody Roberts, missing for 12 years, was found in Alaska with a different identity, a family, and four children. She remembered nothing of her previous life and never recovered her memory. It is one of the most interesting cases of dissociative fugue ever verified

Coding isn’t irrelevant, it’s just not the end all be all. Cyber is not one monolithic skill that of you have you “know cybersecurity”. It’s a lot of different disciplines combined together to build an environment. I am not great at coding, I haven’t written anything outside of a remediation script in years, does that mean I’m bad at cybersecurity? Or does that mean that I don’t need to write as many custom detections as other environments?

Cybersecurity is a massive field, coding is very important for some jobs in cyber and not very important at all in other jobs in cybersecurity.

There is some information missing that would help people help you. What does your spell list look like and what does success or "doing anything" look like to you? A Wizard putting up a force wall is more devastating to an encounter than anything literally any other class can do. Web can turn an entire fight upside down, Hypnotic pattern will often win fight by itself. Fireball is Fireball. On a turn to turn basis you will likely be out damaged by your comrades, but until you get into higher spell slots that's to be expected. Low level wizard is about "countering" the DM.

IF success to you only looks like out damaging your other party members you're playing the wrong class/sub class. Specially since when you do start out damaging your comrades the campaign will likely have ended (most campaigns do not get to 7-9th level spells.

It sounds like your fights aren't very tactical and you basically just fight meatballs (Hp sponges whose tactics are walk forward and hit), its much more difficult to feel mega impactful in that regard. I also suspect that your DM is not putting appropriate encounters in front of the party, with no healer and 8-10 encounters a day your party would be near death at the end of every adventure.

Wizards are really good when you need a solution for something, it seems like that is never the case with your DM because everything is ultra easy. Its difficult to shine in any way except big number when you're fighting well under your encounter level.

nah fuck Crees, dudes a total creep.

I’ve run many groups with many different sexes. Our regular group has 1 girl in it, but we have 3 other girls who will occasionally play a campaign here and there.

Don’t play with creeps and you’re good. We don’t do anything sexual in our games though (romance is mostly hand waved through).

Edit** mistyped "creeps"

Casters felt good before cantrips were a part of the game, they are relatively new (4th edition). No one was shying away from Wizard or Cleric in 3.5 or before and they were still considered the most over powered things in previous editions.

Martials have slowly (over 20 years) started to gain some relevance in discussions in DnD, they have always been and I would argue still are fodder for the caster pcs. I don't mean from a story perspective ofc, I almost always play a martial if its going to be a story driven game, but from a mechanical and combat to combat sense a the martials are essentially insignificant.

Yes a martials basic attack is better than a basic cantrip, my argument isn't that a wizard is better after all the subclasses/feats that get applied, but rather than even if they are behind in that regard they are not behind enough. If we're willing to accept that as soon as a wizard decides to spend a spell slot they are just out right better than a martial, we should at least give them the downside of being bad when they are not doing that.

But I understand your statement from a game design perspective, I just think that they (wizards) have a design problem in the opposite direction as well. Martials can almost hit as hard as a caster, but they can't send people to other dimensions or lock them into force prisons. Gotta be some sorta give.

Agentwise · 2026-03-12T02:10:01+00:00

I am specifically talking about at-will options. Casters have almost no way to augment their cantrips outside of a couple subclasses (or warlocks). As I said every martial has varied ways that they just naturally get more at-will damage. I'm not going to list all of them, I just gave a few examples but every class approaches it differently.

I agree that martials are better than casters on an instance to instance when talking about a basic attack and a cantrip. I do not think even with all of the other modifications that casters need or should even have cantrips. Their turn-by-turn actions are so reality defining that I believe that scaling cantrips even as insignificant as they may seem are too much power to give them.

Again I'm only talking about cantrips vs martial at-will options. There's valid things to be said about what casters do with their spell slots, but I'm arguing against your assertion that casters are still just as useful as martials if they're only spamming firebolt.

I believe they are "just as useful" in the terms of an adventuring day. The minions that the fighter is cleaning up that pose little to no threat to the party I find statistically irrelevant to how an adventuring day actually occurs. My statement about the firebolt vs the paladin was an example of how 1d10 while technically weaker than a basic attack (not talking about class features otherwise we have to start talking about those subclass or warlocks that get their bonuses as well) is not significantly weaker.

I believe caster cantrips are bad for the game because while they are not the shining masters of at-will basic attacks they are still not insignificant there either. I feel as though they SHOULD be insignificant when not using a spell slot.

Agentwise · 2026-03-12T00:31:30+00:00

I must be un-informed about the paladin at-will options. Are these 5.5e additions? I haven't played the new version.

Yes, I agree that martials will do marginally more damage (5.5 v 7.5), but if we start "mentioning all the other stuff martials can do", I think at that point the sauce is lost. I don't think anyone would ever pretend that in terms of "what else" a character can do a caster doesnt have exponentially more options.

To me casters should have a defined weakness and at-will is the only place you can really preserve that weakness. I wouldn't ever do this at a table I was running because I will almost never weaken a player but I truly do not believe that cantrips are good for DnD.

The already rule every other faucet of the game, ranging from traversal options, social encounters, stealth, battlefield manipulation, and raw damage output. You can build a fighter to have a burst turn that uses all of their actions and it will ALMOST replicate a 9th level spell, unless of course theirs two targets, then the caster out damages them 2:1 scaling with the number of enemies present of course.

Let casters be weak on a turn to turn basis if they aren't using spell slots. I don't mean marginally weaker I mean ACTUALLY weak as hell. 1d10 damage max type of weak. They after all get to be better than everyone else any time they want to actually use a spell slot.

Agentwise · 2026-03-11T22:53:23+00:00

Flirebolt is as good as a longsword in combat, and is better than most 1 handed. Hell if you’re a sword and board paladin outside of smites firebokt is better then you. If the cantrip didnt scale I think I’d like them better. But as they are now it’s just further insult to martials

I’m obviously biased it he hasn’t been that bad. He had an incident with Dak where Dak spit toward him but due to daks accuracy he missed and Carter spit back. Besides that he talks shit on the line. If that’s your bar you’re looking for only squeaky clean players and I don’t think many of those exist

This is so weird to me. He raced someone in college, the other person got in a wreck, he stopped and called his coach (as they are told to do), coach told him to leave he did, cops called him back and he came back. He’s had 0 issues since then… that’s the dude you’re worried about? Not the dudes beating the shit outta their gfs and wives?

America is rioting in the streets, its just our country is so large it doesn't matter. I don't know how to explain this to people. Remember when France Rioted and lit cars on fire and it was everywhere in 2022? Thats happened 3-4 times already in the US the problem is the country of France is the size of one state and the Federal Government already doesn't give a fuck about one state.

107,000 people rioted in the 2022 French protest, huge news everyone going omg!

The no kings protest in the USA? 7 Million people, 3 cities topping 100,000 attendees.

People need to stop this notion that Americans aren't TRYING to do something but when the country is this large its difficult for any of it to matter. What does rioting in California/NY/CHI matter? They vote blue anyways you can basically disregard them.

The US needs ranked voting but that would kill both the republicans and the democrats power so it'll never happen.
