[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6586561, member: 63508"] In the Unearthed Arcana article on Modifying Classes, the roles of the ranger's spells were list, analyzed, and explained. This was done in order to understand what spellcasting did for the class and what would have to be added to replace it if stripped away. In the article, it was explained that the roles of ranger spells were: [LIST] [*]A lot of exploration utility [*]A lot of combat prowess [*]some healing [*]some restoration [*]some control effects [/LIST] Also it was explained that many times that's all the class got so spellcasting filled dead levels. So the spell-less ranger got a damage and control boost via superiority die, healing and restoration from poultices, and whatever call natural allies is... utility I guess... with random monkeys. As for the paladin, the importance of spells were explained. It is also explained that the class was designed to burn spell slots via Divine Smite. But what are the purpose of the spells slots which are not burned for radiant wrath to their enemies. Not being a paladin expert, I don't know. And all the paladin's I encountered... bravely headed the line so others could live. They were gone too soon to really see their actual spells. What are the roles of paladin spells and how important are each of them? [/QUOTE]
