|reason=the spell is...weird. It only applies if you're fighting foes on your own, though it lists NPC attitudes and no description on how this interacts with a party of adventurers so it's annoyingly niche to start off. It's good enough for a spontaneous caster to pick up, especially if it doesn't work with a party member around, and a prepared caster could easily pick some more useful spells...then again a spell progression with no cap, granted scaling at 3/4ths level, that deals extra damage and causes enemies to be shaken..it seems both useless because it's niche but overly powerful at the same time...Also since this is on the cleric list I could do great in a solo campaign as a cleric using only this and Divine Power in all my spell slots so I have full BAB plus all those sweet extra uncapped d4s to my attacks. Originally this was just a dislike but reading the talk page soured my opinion further due to, well, plain rudeness and unprofessionalism. Edit: See my comment below for amendments.

:[[User:Aeturo]] Definitely have to agree that if you read enough of the talk pages you will find quite a lot of rudeness and generally un-needed commentary, especially with many talk pages spanning months of conversation from previous versions and jumped conclusions of them. An "oh this XXX holy spectrum!" comment doesn't give creators a lot to work with when they're trying to make effective and open content, and when repeated can quickly drive sane respectable people to pathetic unprofessional comments (guilty, but not the only one) none the less, I'm sorry you "soured" upon reading a small portion of other's chat (If you keep reading + higher versions, you'll find more childishness and a lot more very helpful results because of it). largest problem attributing to a lot of poor messages,is that they are very outdated and even cleaning them on your own pages can be rebuked(evidence [[User talk:Snafusam]]).

::Well one of my biggest complaints was me reading the spell incorrectly. I thought the spell specified no people friendly to the caster, not the target. Whoops. But, to me, that makes it even more niche. Fighting a single opponent, IME, isn't the most common occurrence. Sure, once you wipe the floor with a boss's minions, or take out everyone else in a bandit raid you've got a powerful spell in your pocket. I'm not sure if this makes it better or worse. On the one hand, you can use the spell a lot more than I had previously thought which was one of my complaints (that it was useless when with people) but on the other hand you can use the spell a lot more than I had previously thought and it's a pretty powerful spell for something that stacks with just about anything. I'll consider changing to a dislike but currently my thoughts still stand on oppose, sorry. - [[User:Aeturo|Aeturo]] ([[User talk:Aeturo|talk]]) 15:32, 21 May 2017 (MDT)
