[QUOTE="Quidam, post: 472025, member: 3391"] I thought of that, too, but upon delving deeper into the preparation sections of the PH, I discovered this on p154: "If the character does not need to sleep for some reason, she still must have 8 hours of restful calm before preparing any spells." It then goes on to talk about elves and their lack of need for sleep. So it's not tied to sleep, it's tied to rest. Yet on page 156 under Time of Day it says: "A divine spellcaster chooses and prepares spells ahead of time, just as a wizard does. However, divine spellcasters do not require a period of rest to prepare spells. Instead, the character chooses a particular part of the day to pray and receive spells." It seems the trade-off is needing rest vs. needing to prep at a particular time of day. To me, this seems to imply that a wizard can prepare at any given time of day, and the limit of what he can prepare is based on Rest and the Recent Casting Limit. They do, however, use the word daily. The question is: is it an implicit rule, or a manner of speaking, since you generally only have time to prep once a day- what adventurer gets 16 hours of rest- real rest- in a day? [/QUOTE]
