One of the players in my playtest commented on how unfair it is for wizards to be restricted in their known spells by their spellbook, while clerics and druids gain access to all spells in their respecive lists. I commented on how this was a relic from the days when a cleric's spell list was perhaps 10 spells per level, most of them non-damaging, and limited to 5th (later 7th) level.
This got me thinking: what if clerics and druids had to choose their known spells, much like a wizard, as they gained in level. Instead of a spellbook, they would have prayer scrolls, or some other form of storing their known prayers.
Parallel to this, another thought I had: instead of having spell lists by class, what about having a divine spell list, an arcane spell list, and a primal spell list (for druids, rangers and maybe some flavors of bard)?
