[QUOTE="Azzy, post: 8097150, member: 6563"] Yes, I meant that prepared casters no longer have to prepare each spell slot individually instead of being able cast any spell [S]known[/S]... prepared. Which is a big step up and was one of the things that made sorcerers mechanically distinct from wizards in 3e. Or is it? Is this, as some have suggested a stealth .5 edition? But does that even matter? If we're holding onto previous editions differences (like many of the people objecting to Spell Versatility are wont to do to suggest what the sorcerer's theme is), isn't this equally relevant? I mean, the wizard still stole one of the 3e sorcerer's main features (and there wasn't much else there). Being able to trade out a single [S]prepared[/S]... known spell like a nefed cleric or druid is pretty small fries compared to that. You mean like some people on ENWorld have suggested in the past, a UA wizard subclass did, and a UA feat (that may also be in Tasha's) allows? I would feel like it's par for the course and that the wizard will consume Second Wind, Extra Attack (oh, wait, the Bladesinger already did that), Channel Divinity, Sneak Attack, Rage, Bardic Inspiration, and Wildshape soon thereafter. 🤷♂️ At least you're not arguing that it isn't emotional and knee-jerk. 😏 Sarcasm aside, sometimes what some people think is an "apparent" issue is just a change from the norm that isn't an issue at all—just different. 🤷♂️ That's why taking a step back, cooling off, and reflecting on the "issue" for an extended period of time is warranted.
