[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3670736, member: 1656"] The people I play with aren't, on the whole, fond of resource management and fiddliness. When I ran a mid-level one-shot with them, I steered well clear of prepared casters - I had a Beguiler, a Favored Soul, a Bard... When our regular DM had me create characters for our current campaign for people to pick from, I swung the Spontaneous Divine Casters variant from Unearthed Arcana for the clerics and the druid. I did have a wizard in the mix, but nobody picked him (so our primary arcane caster is the bard!). I know it's not a lot of help to the original poster, but that's how I've addressed the issue of preparing spells with our group :) When I played a cleric in the past, I had a spreadsheet I printed a few copies of, with the names of the spells I was likely to prepare, and multiple days' worth of paired prepared/cast boxes. So I could note that I'd prepared two Spiritual Weapons, and check them off with tally marks as I cast them. If I'd gone to higher levels with the character, I'd likely have gone to the 'package' system people have described above, with preallocated loadouts already filled in on the sheets for most normal situations. -Hyp.
