I would like to see a mechanic seperating out templars from priests more. Right now the world priest is used vary carelessly and it causes confusion about a lot of specialty situations about who can be a priest and who can’t and whether that means they can be a templar or not too. Plus, templar and priest seem to be so similiar in abilities for such a large difference in role play positions, that it seems strange.
Personally, I would have templars either get, or have access to a one time only talent: TSP (Templar spell casting) that gives them one spell of each tier, immediately upon reaching the tier. (not sure what should happen at tier V, maybe their choice). This reduces their spellcasting power compared to priests, but opens up a whole bunch more talent space for them to take other things after they have TSP (instead of DSC every tier). Plus, while they only start with one spell at tier one, it scales nicely so they have a cutting edge spell every tier.
