[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9059917, member: 7006"] You mean of the handful of people in this thread who are talking about it? Okay. I can accept that. ;) Cause guess what? Even if a handful of people joined into our discussion to agree with your take, or a handful showed up and agreed with my take... yeah, either of us could go "Ha! See! Told ya so!!!"... but... so what? None of this matters. WotC isn't watching our thread with baited breath to finally figure out who's right or wrong and then base their decisions for their playtest on it. This whole thing came about because Maxperson believes that Divine Smite that uses a spell slot but is not defined as a spell is different than a Divine Smite that is defined as a spell. And they don't like the change. Which is fine. They don't have to. But my response of "If the change ends up going through, then you could just treat a Divine Smite spell the same way you currently treat a Divine Smite cleric ability that uses a spell slot" is not exactly an outrageous idea. Max doesn't have to accept that, obviously... and if they don't, it's no skin off my nose. They can just use 5E14 Divine Smite to their heart's content. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other. But it's also not going to stop me from saying that WotC is under no obligation to change or not change their rules on the matter just because Max didn't like it. [/QUOTE]
