I was watching a recent debate about Hunters Mark and concentration, and I think that removing C from Hex and Hunters Mark is the wrong direction.
Instead, it should be removed from Smite style spells, and they should instead be “bonus action when you hit with a weapon attack”. So, a ranger could have HM up, and still cast Ensnaring Strike. It still costs a BA, but it adds enough damage that it’s fine. Having multiple things to do with your BA isn’t a bad thing.
but what do you think?
edit to add: Like I said in the bolded text from the start, this includes ranger spells that don't have the word smite in the name, but function like the various smite spells that are called "XYZ Smite".
