What exactly is cheating about extra spell slots when you know enemies are CR and not level?
Within the context of the 5e rules for magic and magical availability which the player characters in this game abide by, and within the setting context of the Frogotten Realms, and the rules for magic and its availability as defined by current world lore, what CR of creature or caster has access to eight 1st level slots, six 2nd level slots and four 3rd level slots?
Name one.
That is the problem. It is a deliberate break in an established system which has impact upon the game and how it plays, and the challenge of an encounter, and the choice points which players and enemies alike may face. It is being done in ignorance and without any tact or understanding.
