[QUOTE="leogobsin, post: 7500200, member: 6943768"] Only gonna answer a few of these cause some of them get into more design philosophy stuff but: 3)If a character takes the Ritual Caster feat or is a Warlock who takes the Book of Ancient Secrets eldritch invocation they can copy ritual spells from spellbooks, but other than that, nobody but a Wizard can really do anything with a spellbook, no. 4)You might look at using the Revised Ranger ([URL]https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/UA_RevisedRanger.pdf[/URL]), it makes Beastmaster a lot more viable. 6)Paladins also prepare spells and can change them, choosing from any spell on their list, but everything you said is correct. 7)If you're not a Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Wizard, then you know the spells you know and don't prepare/change your list ever. 8)Bards, Clerics, Druids, and Wizards all have Ritual Casting as a class feature. What this means is: if a spell has (ritual) after its level and school in its description it can be cast as a ritual. Casting as a ritual means the casting time is 10 minutes longer than the time listed in the spell's description, but it does not use up a spell slot. If you're a Cleric or Druid, you need to have a spell prepared to cast it as a ritual, if you're a Wizard it needs to be in your spellbook, and if you're a Bard it needs to be a spell you know. There's also the Ritual Caster feat and the Warlock Eldritch Invocation Book of Ancient Secrets, which give you a Ritual Book containing spells that you can cast only as rituals. [/QUOTE]
