Since the official stance of the AL admins is to expect table variance, DMG errata was my only hope for something concrete regarding this matter. I guess that I'm too used to the video game portrayal of casters being able to club a baddie upside the head with both staves and rods. Those that require being a spellcaster? YesThose that call out a specific class? No.All this new sentence does is clarify the meaning of spellcaster beyond the scope of class levels.</blockquote>
