[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7603413, member: 6919838"] Bias - I dont have problems with Guidance or Bless as is in my games. Changes to Guidance - I doubt you would ever see anyone spend a slot at any time slots matter at all for +1 to skills. Its just not worth it. It looks like you try and justify it with adding more targets, more time, no concen etc but the 1 in 20 chance it matters to the result is just not going to be worth a slot. You go from a cantrip casters want to take with their small number of cantrips to a spell that, well, would *you* choose to prep this as one of your limited number of spell slots? If you want to hang more ribbons on your new guidance hoping somebody will cast it and prove you were right, make it a ritual. Thrn *maybe* somebody will spend time on it. Of course, one could just raise casting time of the cantrip to "10m as a ritual)* On Bless, this one I dont get the why behind. Burning concentration for d4s seems like a decent trade, but for low-side only +3 with de facto no gains to the high end. Seems like a trap spell after 5th. Do we need to take sprlls thst right now remain useful and turn more into spells that time out as you level? If the issue is a personal dislike for d4, set it at +3 or +2 no rolls needed. These spells both tend to make my selections for PC choices now. Both would ho awsy and not be chosen with these versions. Just ban them. [/QUOTE]
