Revision as of 14:10, 14 January 2009
Cleric & Turning Undead alterations
Undead Intuition was added to free up a skill point for clerics, who would otherwise always spend one of their two skill points in Knowledge (Religion). --Randy (Talk) 01:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Divine Blessings was added to give the class more divine flavor by giving it a few more Divine feats. --Randy (Talk) 01:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Turning Undead was altered to match the Spirit Shaman's chastise spirits ability in simplicity. It makes Turning Undead a viable option for high hit dice undead, while not dispelling encounters of lower level undead. --Randy (Talk) 01:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Wizard alteration
Book Casting is intended to give the wizard a reason to have their spellbooks out during combat, as well as to grant them a minor, yet useful, ability. --Randy (Talk) 03:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
