A 30th level character has a grand total of &#039;&#039;&#039;17&#039;&#039;&#039;* powers; 2 At-Wills, 4 Encounters, 4 Dailies, 7 Utilities, and this is literally just a single Utility power more than a 20th level character, who themselves has just +1 Encounter, Daily and Utility power over a 10th level character. Anyone remotely familiar with the [[Wizard]] or [[Cleric]] spells per day total since at least [[Advanced Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons]] would laugh at calling this a &quot;bloated&quot; store of powers. Even in 5e, spellcasters still tend to get more spells than this, at least if they&#039;re full casters&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
