[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 8094738, member: 6920677"] It is the same versatility a cleric or druid has. At 5th level the Wizard knew Fireball and Animate Dead. My 5th level cleric knows the entire list. For 3 days we rested and I prepared Animate Dead to create/control 4 zombies. When setting out on the adventuring day I swapped many spells out for other ones. The Wizard knew two spells. The feature in Tasha's is much less powerful than what prepared casters already do. If you think wizards are falling behind, just provide more scrolls and spellbooks. As the DM you have full power to balance this out. Honestly, I used to feel the same as you, but upon further reflection it isn't a big deal. The feature takes the pressure off the player to select [I]the optimal choice for Spells Known. It allows[/I] them to take either more situational spells, or something they want to try out, or a suboptimal role play choice...without fear they are stuck with a dud spell for a level. [/QUOTE]
