Useless New WOTC Spell: Styptic

[RigaMortus2]

Does the spell remove blood from clothes too?

No silly, that's Prestidigitation.

Mallet of Luck!

Croquet Mallet of Luck?

No one has asked the most IMPORTANT question - WHO the heck would name a spell "Styptic?" I don't care how old the concept of a styptic is, it's about as fantasy-sounding as the term "cell phone!"

But I do agree - they should have just made this spell 9th level, and posted it on April 1st...

Hmmmm

Maybe they removed Cure Minor wounds so they could up the number of orisons available per day. More like the psionic versions.

I remember seeing a few threads about making orisons/canrips castable at will. CMiW was one reason they wouldn't be.

AH HAH! This is the best explanation yet. Still, anything, even 0-level spells, can be unbalancing without limits.

Maybe there are going to be wounding effects that require more than one point of healing to fix.

 

[Vocenoctum]

Perhaps there are or will be rules somewhere for infection setting in open wounds?

There's a fun disease in Nyambe you can get by letting open wounds touch swamp water, though it doesn't state a rule for knowing what an open wound is.
