Spellcasters mostly don't get extra actions, they do however get the next tier of spellcasting on odd levels, and the ones at level 5 are very good (fireball)

Just in case anybody isn't aware - bashers get the extra attack at level 5 which is huge, but spellcasters do get an improvement to their cantrips by adding an extra damage die. IE Firebolt goes from 1d10 to 2d10, Ray of Frost / Sacred Flame / Bone Chill go from 1d8 to 2d8, etc. I would say this isn't as good as an extra attack, but it's something. Especially since cantrips generally don't get damage increases from your casting stat or anything

Uniquely, the Warlock cantrip Eldritch Blast doesn't get an extra die, it fires a second beam. so it goes from 1d10 to two separate 1d10 attacks. This is really good, particularly because any damage bonuses you might have will get applied to both beams separately.
