[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9669519, member: 6704184"] Humans can kill with sharpened sticks but we still improve our weaponry as frequently as possible. And only two types of Goliaths have extra damage. But even for those two, a sword is still vastly better than a rock. The majority will have utility cantrips. Prestidigitation is unthinkably more useful than 120ft max attack that does at most the same damage as a short bow in a trained hand, [I]and[/I] the cantrip still requires training to be accurate with. Given a choice between A) soldiers that don’t get trench foot and are vastly less likely to get infections because their gear and clothes are clean and they can purify their water and rations, and can light and snuff out campfires, and can signal eachother and show eachother static images of stuff they’ve seen, and can use weapons like everyone else’s soldiers Or b) soldiers that aren’t trained with ranged weapons but can use a [I]much shorter ranged[/I] magical ranged attack Only absolute fools would choose option b. You think a small portion of people being able to cast goodberry would obviate farming?? Are you serious? Do you know how much food people and animals need? Do you know how much other than food requires agriculture and animal husbandry? Your farmers would have druidcraft and elementalism, and any number of druid spells of first level that do something more than feed 10 people each day. Not to mention the other origin feats, that would be extremely useful for craftsfolk, messengers, soldiers and knights and such, diplomats, artists, criminals, etc. [/QUOTE]
