[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 2786120, member: 1465"] Yeah, I pointed out the same problem in a previous discussion. IMHO by the RAW the cleric and the druid can prepare all those spells, unless the DM has not approved the existence of that spell in her campaign at all. You could play upon the knowledge factor. A cleric may just not know that a spell exist (even if the player does), and therefore may simply have never thought about asking her god to grant that spell. One way or the other, you have to HR it, because IMO the problem lies originally in the PHB rule that "divine casters know all spells on their list". BTW swapping spells on a one-on-one basis will still be largely advantageous for the player. There's many clerical PHB spells which the character will never cast after all. It's a bit like allowing swapping class skills: the player just chooses to drop the skills/spells which he wouldn't use in any case. [/QUOTE]
