    This is why I miss the pre-cantrip days.

      I hated those days so much. I love a good gish but not cover up for shitty forced resource management.

      “oh boy, I played a fantasy game so I can be someone that can use magic and think about all the neat ways to use it and have an escapist power fantasy … except that I’ll arbitrarily just run out of magic so I can’t play my concept anymore until later. Great. Thats exactly what I wanted. Thanks D&D.” I’m so glad when a group is open to another system.

      -edit- to clarify, I’m just saying I don’t care for that style of play. I hope you find people to play that kind of game with and have a good time. Just at a different table than mine ;)
