[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7743687, member: 6779196"] It’s a class feature in the sense that some classes have to prepare spells and others don’t. But preparation is included as part of the spellcasting rules for the classes that do it. I’m saying, instead of having four slightly different versions of the spellcasting rules, each spelled out in full in each class entry, just have one unified spellcasting system - the one that sorcerers and bards use -and have classes that break that mold spell out the exceptions. Druids and Clerics would have a feature that lets them change out any of their known spells for any other spells on their class spell list when they finish a long rest. Wizards would have a feature that lets them swap out their known spells for any other spell in their spellbook when they finish a long rest. Functionally identical, but without the need to introduce a concept of spell preparation for no payoff. Or just use old school Vancian. I’m fine with either option, I just think it’s silly to make spell preparation a thing if it doesn’t actually do anything but allow what amounts to a spontaneous caster to swap out their known spells.
