Get off my lawn!
I've been fortunate enough to get to play in a game (usually I DM...) and after some sessions I noticed something that I see often:
Although I have 11 known/prepared spells (which alone very rarely ever change), I use 5 of those spells easily 90% of the time. Once a long rest I might use a single spell slot on a spell NOT one of those 5. Frankly speaking, if I didn't even have the other 6 it wouldn't bother me much. Sure, I might have occassions when I wished I had this one or that one, but those would only be select cases.
So, I was curious if anyone else has similar experiences? Or do you use most of the spells you've selected, at least so they don't seem "extra" and unnecessary?
I think this is because my PC has his role, and those spells I commonly use are all I currently need to fulfill that role.
To be clear: I know you might not prepare most of the spells in a spell list. That isn't what I am talking about. I am talking about spells you actually have prepared or known.
