[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7146164, member: 7006"] Yes, at each level you Know a number of spells according to the Spells Known column. For the duration of that level, those are the only spells you Know. You then cast them using your spell slots according to the spell slot table. At your next level-up... if you gain another Spell Known (according to the column), you select a new spell to Know of any spell level you currently can cast. Like it mentioned in the PH... at 5th level when you gain 2nd level spell slots... that new Spell Known can now be of 2nd level (or you could select another 1st level spell if you'd prefer.) And in addition to this... each time you level-up you may swap out one of your current Known spells for a new spell from the Ranger list (of a level you can currently cast). So oftentimes for example, at that 5th level when you now gain 2nd level spell slots, a Ranger might use their new Spell Known to take a 2nd level ranger spell and swap out one of their current 1st level Known spells for another 2nd level spell. So you'd end up with 2 Known 1st level spells and 2 Known 2nd level spells. If you are a new player and want to "experiment" with different types of spells... you should probably choose one of the main Full caster classes (Cleric, Druid, Wizard) because those classes can prepare spells from their entire spell list or spell book. And those you *can* change after a Long rest. [/QUOTE]
