Wait till you get further in you'll realize it's a much bigger problem than just cantrips. I ran into a rogue who threw "alchemical fire" at me. It did enough damage to be a level 2 spell and it wasn't resistable. It also created a large fire on the ground. It was way way too strong for a level 2 enemy. Something like that should be on a level 5 enemy minimum.


Alchemists fire should do 1d4 fire damage on a hit, its an attack though so a rogue could sneak attack with it. You wouldn't get a save but they'd have to successfully hit first.
