[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7802492, member: 6857506"] This. And just to elaborate: Bards, Fighters (Eldritch Knight), Rangers, Rogues (Arcane Trickster), Sorcerers, and Warlocks have a set of spells that they [B]know[/B], chosen from their class spell list. The set of spells they know changes only when they level up (according to rules specific to the class). If they know a spell and have an appropriate slot available, they can cast it (barring exceptional circumstances such as being silenced, unconscious, or dead, among others). Clerics, Druids, and Paladins select spells to [B]prepare[/B], chosen from their class spell list. They can change this selection anytime they finish a long rest. If they have a spell prepared and have an appropriate slot available, they can cast it (caveat as above). In essence, they just get to change the spells they have available to cast completely and much more frequently than casters who must "know" spells. Some class features grant spells that are 'always prepared', which makes them more like 'known' spells. The Wizard is unique in that they must both 'know' a spell (have it in their spell book) [I]and [/I]have it prepared in order to cast it. Monks (Way of the Four Elements) are their own thing. I've probably missed some magical subclasses, but that covers most of the PH. [USER=6982024]@BacchusNL[/USER] - if you already realized this, sorry, this isn't intended to be condescending. [/QUOTE]
