Branched from here:
So here's what I want to know. Opinions, possibly with data to back it up.
Wouldn't mind hearing comments from the official paizo people either. It would be interesting to hear from James or Jason particularly.
Are the cleric and druid spell lists in PRPG worse than the equivalent progression in arcane?
1. In Core only
2. In Core + APG
3. All Paizo Products
4. All Paizo Products + All 3.0/3.5e Forgotten Realms (this is my next campaign)
My first instincts are (Cleric v Wizard):
1. Yes, they're really limited in variability, and damage output, though possibly not if you go with inflict and undead stuff.
2. Pretty close if not quite even.
3. Likely even.
4. Definitely Even.
Druid v Wizard
I'd say druids are on an even playing field with wizards from the get go. the lists seem comparable in area control and damage dealing, and the swap seems to be less skill type spells and more healing/animal control spells.
This comparison is a split off from the thread I started before, but it's the main deciding factor in it.
Perhaps the lists need to be broken into spell roles before we can make this comparison accurately.
I'll be checking back.
"Full Casting" is misleading. The arcane spells are a lot better than the divine spells. The squishy wizard is still the most powerful class according to most people.
