[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9097612, member: 7635"] Spell redesign has been a weird black hole in this playtest. We have seen (not counting new spells) very few redone spells. So far, we've seen: Guidance (twice) Barkskin Resistance Find Familiar The Smite spells Find Steed Eldritch Blast Hex Hunter's Mark Viscous Mockery Conjure Volley and Conjure Barrage Power Word Kill Power Word Heal We have not seen any hint that most of the staple spells (like shield or fireball) are going to get tuned, nor are the overly broken (simulacrum) or weak (true strike). We also have seen some spells that still use monster stat blocks (conjure spells) and some that don't (find familiar and find steed). Heck, at this point we're not even sure any of the spell changes we've seen so far have Sparked Enough Joy that they won't be reprinted as printed in 2014. I would have assumed any major rebalancing to magic would have been seen by now. It may yet happen, but I am not holding my breath that any major rebalancing will even take place and if it does, it may not be part of the playtest. [/QUOTE]
