Just agreeing with the similar statement made by the OP. In melee, the smite is immediately after the hit, the power is sort of flowing from the character through the weapon to the target. The sense of contact is immediate. At range, it seems less connected and immediate, and just a bit weird...

Yeah, the combined spell lists seem like a good idea on the surface, but when spells that had previously been reserved for half-casters like paladin and rangers can be taken by their full caster counterparts, suddenly things that had been defining features for those half-casters are ones that...

Note the spells are not quite functioning as the default smite, as the default is essentially a free action, where the spells take a bonus action, still possibly competing with other bonus actions. Which is fine. They'll definitely see more use under the 1D&D version. Another thing to note -...

Because then Clerics could do it, stealing the Paladin's schtick?

A lot of different opinions on a class that gets played the least. I like the idea of the basic templates, as well as a lot of the suggestions in this thread to add variety to them. I'm okay with the changes making the druid less of a frontline fighter. Merging ranger spells into the Primal...

Sure! Go for it!

You have convinced me words have no meaning

And posting it on a money-grubbing social media platform.

Is its foundation the 3.5 SRD though? I thought SF was based on PF2, which is not based on the 3.5 SRD as PF 1E is. (I’m fully prepared to be proven wrong on this point. I haven’t followed Paizo products close enough to be sure of the timeline.) Including the OGL for PF2, to my understanding...

I think in many corporate minds "protecting" is synonymous with "controlling and shutting down competition"...

The word "irrevocable" isn't used in the OGL 1.0, and as a specific legal term, means it is very likely, in fact, to be revokable. At least according to some of the actual lawyers in other threads and websites.

Can we blame TSR3 for this somehow? Seriously, did that whole debacle make Hasbro sit up and think "we need to put more protections on our D&D IP, make it more like our other games/licenses?"

Deep south would be "... and then engage in maaay-lay"

Back in the day, I'd keep a phonebook handy, at least for modern or futuristic games. Oh, umm, a phonebook is like a user list for the phone companies, printed as a book. Ah, well, see, a book is a collection of pages...

The only thing I don’t like about this is it’s a nerf to the number of spells a wizard can have prepared compared to the current system. If I wanted clairvoyance (utility), dispel magic (defense) and fireball (offense), I’m done under this system, whereas the current system I have six more...

Just a nitpick: “total spells prepared” isn’t a thing on the class feature grid for casters who memorize, like clerics and wizards. Plus, it’s not a consistent number since it’s modified by caster stat bonus. So, that’s not the reasoning. I think it might be in part a power balancing thing. It...

Note that the playtest cleric gets one more Divine Channel right off the bat compared to the 5E, which is pretty much equivalent to getting one back after a short rest. The playtest cleric stays ahead of the existing one in terms of number of Channel Divinitys, having 6 at 18th level compared to...
