(as compared to the cleric who automatically is able to prepare any spell of any level she can cast)I've also just noticed you're a local as well (hailing from Lisburn myself).  Nice to see a few locals frequent these boards <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
