Player Changes
=======
Paladin
=======
* Lay on Hands is now a bonus action (previously an action).
* Cure Wounds has been buffed to heal more.
* You have a set number of prepared spells instead of them being "equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down". Currently, it's 6 prepared total.
* Divine Smite is under Paladin's Smite and is always prepared. Divine Smite no longer costs a spell slot,
but you must finish a Long Rest before you can cast it this way again. if you miss with it, it does not waste it up to 1 minute.
* Divine Sense is now a Bonus action which you take immediately after hitting a target with a Melee weapon or an Unarmed Strike (previously an action). It now has 2 charges (according to Channel Divinity) and regain 1 use every Short Rest. You regain all when finishing a Long Rest.
* Your Oath of Devotion spells are always prepared (and you now have 2 extra). So far these are: Protection from Evil and Good, Shield of Faith, Aid, Zone of Truth.
* No longer immune to disease.
* Gained 2 features: Extra Attack and Faithful Steed.
### Important to note ###
* If another Paladin feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Paladin spells for you.
* Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your list with another Paladin spell for which you have spell slots.
### Things you need to decide ###
* You can change your level 2's "Fighting Style". Instead, you can choose the Blessed Warrior feat which gives you x2 Cleric cantrips.
* You need to pick x3 more spells. You can have up to 6 prepared, with 4 level 1s and 2 level 2s. You currently have: x3 Level 1: Cure Wounds, Sleep, Sanctuary.
------------------
=======
Warlock
=======
* Gained Magical Cunning: You can perform an esoteric rite for 1 minute. At the end of it, you regain expended Pact Magic spell slots but no more than a number equal to half your maximum (round up). Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
* Pact of the Tome's description changed. You now conjure your tome at the end of a Short or Long Rest. Only you can access its magic and it disappears if you conjure another book with this feature again.
* You now have access to: Calm emotions, faerie fire, misty step, phantasmal force, sleep, Blink, plant growth (Fey subclass features)
*You've gained Steps of the Fey.
### Important to note ###
* You can swap out any Warlock cantrip every time you gain a level.
* If another Warlock feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Warlock spells for you. This also applies to your cantrips, though if the book is lost, you lose the ability to cast these.
### Things you need to decide ###
* You can have 5 eldritch invocations - there are now more available. Check to see if you want to swap any out.
