[QUOTE="RobNJ, post: 1043902, member: 3617"] ??? You're kidding, right? It says in every Spells section, the word [i]any[/i]. Can prepare [i]any[/i] (complex, simple, whatever) spell. How much more clear can it be. Should it say, "He can prepare any simple spell. No, really. Honest. Any one. I mean it. I promise. Any simple spell."? I think that Malhavoc shot itself in the foot (or at least dropped a heavy rock on its foot) by trying so much to argue that it's perfectly compatable with 3E. That said, it's not overly generous in context with everything else. If everyone is getting that ability, it doesn't matter if you do too. You're right. My bad. Given this, he probably should've done something clear, like state that magisters can prepare [i]any[/i] spell. You know, a simple, declarative sentence that says something like, "A magister may choose to ready any simple or complex spell, provided he can cast spells of that level." I'll be sure to lobby hard for them to include this sort of clarity in the next edition of the book. Because what they have in there, man, it's way too vague. I haven't read this passage yet, but it sounds to me like they're talking pre-1st-level stuff. And you may want to [i]include[/i] a rule where people have to learn new spells. I may do this myself, require someone to make a spellcraft check on seeing a spell with which they're unfamiliar cast. I may do this for supplimentary spells found in additional AU source material, as well. [/QUOTE]
