[QUOTE="KnikKnak, post: 8478590, member: 7033642"] RAW I believe OP is correct, as the example does not address a language issue in PHB. Clerics can prepare spells up to any level they have spell slots for (PHB pg. 58) Wizards can copy into their spell book and memorize any wizard spell they have spell slots for (PHB pg. 114). So, as the mulit-class table shows on page 164, a 10th level wizard and a 5th level cleric would have spell slots of up to 8th level. Per class descriptions, even if prepared individually, they can memorize and prepare spells of up to 8th level. The wizard would have to hunt down spells to copy of that level, but the kind of spells slots are not delineated in the cleric and wizard class descriptions, allowing them to prepare higher level spells. The ranger/wizard is a bad example, as spells known vs. spells prepared and one being a secondary caster complicates it. That being said, no one plays that way, I've never played that way, and it is probably not intended to be played that way, but I do think, when interpreted in a very "letter of the law, rules lawyer" sort of way, OP is absolutely right: clerics and wizards do not lose out on casting power, just on special abilities.
