[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8579290, member: 7015698"] Totally agree on less spells and bringing back the interesting 4e Monster designs! And speaking of spells, I feel like rituals are underused. Would be great to have more subclasses that get some flavourful rituals the way the Totem barbarian does, but we'd need more rituals for that. And we could use a Ritual focus Wizard or Cleric. If we can't have a separated Warlord class, then I just want the Warlord to skin the Fighter and wear his name. The 'basic Fighter' should just be a single build, and the Fighter should go back to its roots as the mundane leader of men like back when it became the lord of a castle. How about, instead of 'spend Spell Slots to Smite' they went the other way around? Spend Smite charges to cast from a subclass specific set of spells? Then, if you want a more spell caster Paladin, you can give them a subclass with actual spell slots to use on a curated list of utility spells?
