Spirit Shamans require a deity?

[[DM] Grinning Death]

I'm always willing to divine block a ranger that wants to forgo spellcasting.

I had a "yeah rangers" moment with doubtful in a suggestion thread a week ago or so just about the deity requirement, and I read the post as diety requirement were lifted in general. Not to mention that spirit shamans just had an update! Lucky lucky bastards!

As for the divine block, I think that every time a ranger levels up and doesn't have a fitting diety, a selector will be prompted at level up. A lot of servers has opened up for the narrow selections, and as I've dabbled alot in 3.0 I see that requirement really silly. Not so for druids mind you. But thanks anyway

Yes. Sorry that I did not clarify. My post was only for the removal of Deity restrictions on Spirit Shamans. It was late and I was on my phone!


I could see a ranger worshiping Nature Spirits as a shaman does (which they can as per PnP) but otherwise their spells are only granted by nature deities. So I would only be in support of allowing no deity for rangers. That is a whole new thread, though.

Somewhat off topic, but will Spirit Shamans be undergoing a rework similar to what happened to Favored Souls? I am fine with either, but just curious!

Erm... to go along with my previous question, is the current wiki for spirit shamans correct? They also only use CHA for spellcasting now?

Edit: Just tested by making a Spirit Shaman with 10 WIS. He could not cast any of his Level 1 spells, no matter how many times he rested, so I am assuming Spirit shamans still need WIS to cast ... I recommend the wiki change be reverted! I'd do it myself, but I'm afraid Lotus will smite me ... D=

I didn't even notice that was on the wiki. I just went by the in game class descriptions. Perhaps it's a copy paste error from the Sorcerer or Favored Soul descriptions?
