The High Aldwin
Ok, for anyone who fails to see the potential this gives a Sorcerer (or other Known-Spell casters to a point), consider this...
A Sorcerer 5 with 6 known spells with just the PHB alone has 60+ spells to choose from for levels 1-3. With less than one week of long rests to prepare for different scenarios/adventures/challenges (not unreasonable unless you play time-crunch missions a lot, not common IME), you could do the following (and many more combinations...):
Defensive Build-Relying on Cantrips for Offense:
Sorcerers et. al don't have to worry about such things, of course. And don't forget the metamagics and other class features known-spell casters bring to the table.
So, given the above examples, which I came up with easily, how can you honestly tell me this feature doesn't make Sorcerers (and the others) more versatile than Wizards? Seriously. If you still think that, you're fooling yourself.
Unless you run time-sensitive adventures all the time, you could easily see a lot of such shenanigans.
