[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 119148, member: 284"] The sages ruling is [b]not[/b] contradictory to what's in the PHB. the PHB very clearly states that the cleric isn't required to prepare all their spells at once. It then further states that they can't fill a slot that was emptied by casting a spell. They can only refresh their spell slots once per day, during their designated prayer time. That's normally when they prepare all their spells, but they aren't required to. This implies that they can fill an empty spell slot at some point after their normal prayer time, as long as it's one they left empty on purpose and not one that was emptied by them casting a spell. The Sage merely confirmed what the PHB started to say but never finished: Clerics can prepare spells using spell slots deliberately left empty when they refreshed their spell slots (either through prayer or rest). Saying that the Sage is creating new rules in this case is simply untrue. [/QUOTE]
