Well... It would be nice if PrCs and multiclassing aren't as grossly mishandled as they were in 3e and SWSE.

This news about the Wizard is going to throw my calculations about class balance all off. I hope they improve the Rogue and Fighter to balance this out. But it does explain why the Sorcerer seemed so much more powerful than the wizard.

dammit.
More sex and gender equality and racial equality shouldn't even be an argument--it should simply be an assumption for any RPG that wants to stay relevant in the 21st century.
I could say anything in D&D is silly though, because it's a silly game and we are silly people.

So wizards have stacks of daily spells, balanced to be used once a day, and then get to use some of those daily spells as encounter powers. (They also have a few at-will spells balanced to be used at will.)
Meantime fighters get at-will maneuvers balanced to be used at will and some people think that's too much.
In other words, 5E ends up with (more or less) the 4e wizard except the encounter and daily spells are more powerful - but not as overpowered as 3E. It also gets the 3E Fighter - or maybe, if the naysayers have their way, the 1E Fighter.
"The world does not work the way you have been taught it does. We are not real as such; we exist within The Story. Unfortunately for you, you have inherited a condition from your mother known as Primary Protagonist Syndrome, which means The Story is interested in you. It will find you, and if you are not ready for the narrative strands it will throw at you..." - from Footloose

No, the get specialized spells that can be cast per encounter. Presumably balanced for the encounter.
plus it gives you a list of invocation school spells that are your tradition’s signature spells.
Emphasis mine.

They should be named Prestige Backgrounds.
What's so bad about it?
