[QUOTE="Asisreo, post: 9015071, member: 7019027"] So, I was reading the PHB's wizard class thinking about what I would like to adjust, but then I re-read a paragraph I admittedly barely read over the first time. I'm sure many of you read this as "1 minute per spell level for each [I]new[/I] spell on your list." But that isn't what it says. It seems to me that its saying for every spell on your list, period. Meaning you'll re-memorize the spells you already know. I'm sure this is unintuitive which is why the wording flew under the radar. I'm just trying to see RAW, and maybe try to understand if it might possibly be their RAI? Also, the fact that this occurs after you've already finished a long rest means that they add on the extra hour (I assume an average spell level of 3 for a level 20 wizard) to prep time.
