[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6777525, member: 2067"] I don't see a major problem with your proposal, though it might result in some analysis paralysis and some cherry-picking. If you trust your players and they're not staring at the infinity of spells slack-jawed and overwhelmed, it sounds solid. But I think the easiest solution is the solution that 5e has as a default: Don't add cleric spells. Add domains. Domains [I]come with[/I] spells. Coming up with a new domain requires less overall overhead, and limits the effects of cherry-picking spells (to two, which must be tightly thematic and not overlapping with granted powers), while honing in on an important thematic element of the character. I'd treat druid spells similarly - new or variant lands for the Circle of the Land. Paladins? New Oaths. Rangers? No mechanic exists at the moment to give rangers bonus spells, but I could see it as another subclass. Like, if you wanted some of the spells from the Elemental Evil PG - sounds good. Lets make an "elemental" domain. Or an "earth" domain. Or whatever. [/QUOTE]
