[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6065918, member: 1465"] But this is not my point, choosing spells to add to your list of known spells takes a significant strategic effort (to a Wizard's player) but as you say, it happens only when you level up. The difficulty I was referring to is the fact that you have to know your list of known spells when you prepare them. Maybe in a well-timed campaign and with well-behaving players, the adventuring days ends when the gaming session ends, and the players prepare their spells between sessions... but on average, you're going to get players having to prepare spells in the middle of a session. Very rare IMXP, but I guess it can happen. OTOH in such case it might be better to have a class similar to the 3ed Sorcerer, because it would be more flexible than the current Wizard at casting time. This is true of course. [/QUOTE]
