[QUOTE="rmcoen, post: 8592582, member: 6692404"] Well, I [I]was[/I] trying to avoid rewriting all the spells. Me personally, I love changing everything about everything. An unofficial sarcasm motto of mine since college has been "it's not a game until we've changed the rules!" But... in practice, no one wants to have to go double-check "how did we change [I]this[/I] fiddly bit? I forget...". Hence the suggestion for a higher-level sweeping change that applies to everything. Maybe [I]spirit guardians[/I] is now underpowered and gets used less... So? It still exists, and might still be perfect for slowing things vulnerable to radiant? Versus the [I]other[/I] sweeping high level change proposed: "Remove all damage spells from the game." [I]Moonbeam[/I] still forces shapechangers to change shape, making it an underpowered niche spell - but the only one of its kind. [I]Fireball[/I], with no other changes... just sets unattended objects on fire in a big area ("Even works around corners!") - but it's still there. [I]Disintegrate [/I]still puts large holes in things... just apparently not living things (no damage). And so on. [/QUOTE]
