Please combine some spells...

[Brett Blackwell]

Similar to how the skills have been combined, I would really like to see some of the spells narrowed down.

For example, do we really need a seperate "Protection from" for evil, good, lawful, chaotic, etc.? Why not just have a single "Proctection from" spell and allow the caster to choose they type when being cast? Same for "Magic Circle" spells.

On a similar note, some other spells can be combined, like enlarge person/reduce person. This has been something that really irritated me since 3.5. I still haven't seen a good reason for breaking up all the spells, especially for characters like the sorcerer.

I second this, it's a pain to have all those spells. Make spells more versatile and not so strict. It's fantasy for heaven's sake!

I would also like to see a "reduced" spell list. Especially since we are using the spontaneous divine caster variant from UA

Yeah, and:
Bless/Curse
Hallow/Unhallow
Holy/Anarchic/Axiomatic/Unholy Word

It's just a reason to fluff up the spell book needlessly. Just note that the one spell can be made to affect different alignments.
