[QUOTE="JoelF, post: 3748016, member: 8829"] I just had a thought this monring which I hope isn't true, but may be based on the new spellcasting system. Currently, if you had a special situation come up, you could prepare a large amount of your spell slots for utility spells. An example of this was at 8th level, my wizard prepared phantom steed, and 4 preparations of the mount spell to allow the party to cover a lot more ground quickly. If the 4E wizard only has 20% of their spell power tied to prepared spells, and the rest is tied up with at will and per encounter abilities (which so far seem likely to be combat related only), then this type of preparation won't be possible. Another example would be for underwater exploration, if you can't prepare a large number of water breathing spells, and freedom of movement spells, you're screwed. Same goes for arctic or desert settings with the use of endure elements, etc. [/QUOTE]
