[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 8094359, member: 27957"] Yes, and so what? The Lore Bard has always had that. They're still not spells gained from the Spellcasting class feature, which means they can't be swapped with the new Spell Versatility option. So no, no type of Bard will be able to snatch any spell in the game on a long rest. Look, I know it's a basic human fallacy to believe that your personal lived experience is the standard baseline. That doesn't mean you should embrace it, it means you need to rigorously check your assumptions and cultivate a wide circle of diverse inputs. The Devs at WotC believe this is enough of an issue to create an official optional rule to address. Which is, I say again, OPTIONAL. And they have a much bigger data set of people's actual play habit than anyone else, you or I included. All we can do is decide if this OPTIONAL rule is a good fit for our specific play group. If it isn't for yours, don't use it. No WotC ninjas will come to your house and force you to do so at sword point. My group already agreed it was a good fit for us from the UA testing, including the specific limitations like not applying to a Bard's Magical Secrets spells, so we'll definitely be adopting it. Which is exactly what an OPTIONAL rule is supposed to offer. [/QUOTE]
