Those cantrip updates are :chef-kiss: True Strike and Blade Ward needed love desperately and I like what they’ve done with them.
I definitely think in tier 1, casters will be better martials than martials with these changes. If they want to make all the spells cool and useful, fine, but I hope they see the obvious power creep they’re handing out to already-powerful classes.
Yeah, in tier 1, I can see what you mean. I haven’t read the actual text for the cantrip changes, so I can only go off of what’s described here. I’m not sure if the casters will be better martials than the martials themselves since they still lack the damage output, HP pools, and proficiencies of the martials, but it does make the casters seem better overall.
Friends almost just sounds better than Charm Person now for a lot of uses. Blade Ward might be just straight up too good as a reaction, even bordering on being as good as Shield. It essentially gives casters access to Uncanny Dodge. True Strike seems fine though, depending on how it scales. It’s still worse than just casting Fire Bolt in just about every case
