I hopped on the test instance today to check a few things, including some paladin spell messaging, and to see how happy I'd be with my paladin's build in a few more levels. I noticed that when using 1650, the various INCARNATE abilities that rely on a weapon don't appear to be compatible with a bow.

Specifically, the messaging for SMITE notes the divine energy going around my paladin's fist instead of bow, plus the messaging and mechanics for ONSLAUGHT also only apply to the open right hand (fist) with a non-UCS based attack instead of anything ranged. While SMITE is purely cosmetic with the messaging, my paladin has 0 ranks in brawling, so the latter has zero functionality and also makes no sense given the character's inability to even use that weapon style.

I was hoping that this oversight could be looked at if it isn't intended. I realize that ranged paladins aren't the normal playstyle, however it fits my character incredibly well in spite of its challenges, and it's a fun counterpart to my other more standard sword & board style paladin.
