Okay, so here's the thing about that. I didn't pick oracle because I liked their mechanics and/or thought they would fit best. If I'd put more weight on that consideration, I probably would have chosen either cleric or sorcerer as the base. I chose oracle because its flavor fit what I was going for the closest. Do you think that, given that, it would be better to switch out the base class?
