Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ywain" data-source="post: 51439" data-attributes="member: 1420">I'm pretty lenientI agree that the mental stat boosting items are a jypped a bit in this respect.  A fighter can take off his belt of giant strength and put it back on and immediately gain the full bonuses.  I don't bother with losing bonus spells if an item is taken off (or becomes inert) for reasonably short periods of time.That being said, an argument could be made that a Wizard doesn't actually have to know a spell once it is prepared.  It isn't "memorized" it is mostly cast at the beginning of the day, you only have to be smart enough to complete the casting when it is needed.  So if the item is taken off, then the 4th level spell would still be "prepared" but it couldn't be cast because you no longer have the facility to finish the casting.  Once you put the item back on you would regain this facility and the prepared spell could be completed (cast).The same argument, with minor twists, would apply to wisdom based spell-casting.  If your deity grants you spells at the begining of the day, she doesn't take them away because your focus, willpower and such decreases -- but you don't have the facility to actually call on that spell until you regain the facility.Spontaneous casters who rely on Charisma are the easiest to rationalize.  They don't prepare or pray for spells in advance, so as soon as their charisma goes up or down available slots are adjusted accordingly.I don't think that this has to be overcomplicated.  Temporarily losing access to spells is inconvenient enough without making casters lose the spells completely.</blockquote>
