[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 7915851, member: 19270"] My beef is that [I]guidance [/I]breaks my immersion in the game. [I]Tension is high. The orcs are closing in and the rogue nervously looks at the locked temple portal, knowing one wrong move triggers the arcane rune and spells doom. He pulls out his lucky pick, gives it a kiss[/I]....[B]and then the cleric interrupts..."wait, wait, before you do that...you need some sweet, loving, guidance." [/B]The cleric then gives the rogue an encouraging pat on the ass, says "go team," and steps back into the shadows, lurking until their chance to charge in and give someone some good ole fashioned[I] guidance[/I] comes up. [I]A few moments later, the lock is picked and the party is into the temple, but the orcs are upon them. The sorcerer steps forward, eyes blazing, looming larger with each step. He prepares to warn the orcs that if they cross the threshold of the temple portal, ashes and doom of the dragon god await them! [/I] ...[B]and then the cleric creepily lunges out of the shadows, hand poised on the sorcerer's ass. "Wait a sec, before you do that...oh before you do that...you need...some tasty, succulent, guidance." [/B]One slap on the butt later, he returns to the shadows, to stalk his prey for the chance to cast this boost over and over and over. But back on track, I like the idea of something more cleric-y. If we're implementing substitutes for cantrips, design consideration needs to be had on whether those substitutes should be unlimited in use as well. [/QUOTE]
