[QUOTE="Illithidbix, post: 6809599, member: 12283"] This is a pretty cool idea, esp. if you want to divorce “Divine Magic” from deities. Although how do Arcane spells that deal with the outer planes work? Sidenote tangent. I've noticed that in 5E the distinction between Arcane and Divine Magic seems a bit of an afterthought mentioned in a sidebar. I think from the descriptions that the source of each classes magic is actually well established and personally I think they work better not being lumped into the two catagories. The distinction between Paladin and Cleric seems far clearer in 5E than before. To me the Druid and Ranger's style of magic seem as distinct from a Cleric and Paladins as they do from the Arcane casters. In my homebrew I had the classes represented that the players had inherited the archetypes of heroes who turn up time after time in history in the cosmic narrative. [/QUOTE]
