[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6842717, member: 12731"] Now you're trying to relativize. What warlock spell are you thinking of? What ranger spell? You know what, I'm getting the impression you're mostly contrary for contrary's sake here. Why not simply admit that Eldritch Blast is much more central to the Warlock than any other spell? It's got three Invocations that assume you take it!? And what ranger would say no to Hunter's Mark as a class feature that doesn't interfere with spellcasting mechanics (such as concentration)?! The fact is that your argument says nothing. It's super generic. You could as well say "no ruleset ever has any problems whatsoever". So assuming you argue in good faith, you need to specify what spells you feel are so much "next in line" that trying to fix the issue for one only transfers the problem to the next. What individual warlock spell are you thinking of? What specific ranger spell? Because if you start your answer with even two Warlock or Ranger spells, then your argument is void and null. Then there is no single "obvious choice" to be forced into taking. Then you have real choice, and a valid reason for the two (three, four...) spells to remain selectable (and therefore unselectable) options. [/QUOTE]
