This post was all about spell slots. Cantrips do not use it.

Just to explain some of DnD5e in case you don’t know. 99% of the spells forces a saving throw.

Please bring spells slots to the discussion which is clearly the main point of this post. Saying that cantrips help casters to feel less nerfed won’t help you.


I know you're speaking in hyperbole, but for the record / fun facts:

Total Spells in the Player's Handbook = 376

Spells that target any saving throws = 133

Spells that use attack (range/melee) = 26

There are 7 spells that fit into both categories above (i.e. make an attack and then a saving throw).
