[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8093659, member: 6987520"] I see it as a trade-off. I don't find one method superior to the other as both have pros and cons. You know fewer spells (in general) but they are always ready. You can have prepared spells, but often the spells you might want aren't ready. This is why wizard's ritual casting is so powerful IMO. If you have time for the ritual, you don't need to bothering having the spell prepared--it really makes them stand out as casters because other ritual casters [I]still[/I] need to have the spell prepared. The exchange is also because each of the known spell casting classes have other features to compensate for the lack of versatility in spells--so in my mind it is not a case of "everything else is equal". Also, since they can exchange a known spell when they level, I feel that is sufficient versatility to allow them to change a bad spell if they regret a selection later on--and encourages them to select their spells more carefully. Giving known-spell casters spell versatility on a long rest is an ENORMOUS boon to them IMO. You can easily swap out a spell if you know something is coming up when you'll need it. And frankly, if you have 10 known spells and time is not essential, after 10 days you can have 10 completely different spells! I just feel that is simply too much because it takes away from the "too bad you never learned that spell" case. [/QUOTE]
