[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 119398, member: 284"] Does the PHB say that you can choose not to prepare all your spells at once? Yes. [b][/b] Does the PHB state that the time for preparing spells is the same as that of a wizard? Yes. The Sage very clearly did not "create" a new rule, since even you admit that the rule already exists in the PHB for wizards. Since the cleric section states that it takes clerics just as long to prepare spells as a wizard (1 hour), and both clerics and wizards can choose to leave spell slots empty, it's pretty clear that filling that empty spell slot would take just as long for a cleric as for a wizard. [b][/b] Does the PHB in fact [b]also[/b] says that the cleric does not have to prepare all their spells at once? Yes. [b][/b] Untrue, as I've pointed out. [b][/B] Only because you don't like the rule. It's ok not to like the rule, but blaming it on the Sage is uncalled for in this instance. The Sage was doing his job: clarifying an unclear section fo the PHB. The section on gaining Divine spells states that you prepare spells ahead of time like a wizard and then goes on to say that you don't have to prepare them all at once. It does not give any specifics for preparing them afterward. In the absence of such specifics, the most likely assumption is that it works the same way as with wizards. The Sage merely confirmed that this is in fact true. [/QUOTE]
