[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 9203397, member: 53176"] Only in the book format. For a digital database it's incredibly useful, which is where this edition is heading. Anyway, healing still doesn't outpace damage. They would have needed to more than double the healing output of[I] Cure Wounds [/I]to make headwinds in that direction instead of just adding a ~50% bonus. As it stands, they are simply correcting a mistake from the 2014 guidelines that over penalized healing by making it worse than damage for no good reason. Conjure spells are now mobile Zone-control spells, which is one way of handling them I suppose. [I]Starry Light[/I] and[I] Font of Moonlight [/I]seem to be a concession to tie Druids more into the "Nighttime" radiant damage type (which is a mistake imo, they should be elemental damage dealers first and foremost). As for why Bards get them? Who even knows at this point. We have no clue what the Bard is going to do because everyone approved of them picking their own spell list out of a hat and they reverted that change a packet later. [/QUOTE]
