[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6670884, member: 12731"] Celtavian, it's true it doesn't say you have to prepare the entire list at once. But it is ruleslawery to argue this means "partial preparation" is intended or even permissible by the design team. There would be no rules to tell you how this would be done, a good sign it wasn't meant to happen. And oh, there are no "slots" involved in preparation. In the end, if your DM allows partial preparation the answer is "yes". If he or she doesn't, then "no". But I'm gathering you're the DM, Celtavian; and so I think you're fishing for support for the position that the rules support partial preparation. And thus my answer becomes: The 3e style answer: no, the rules doesn't support it. Make it a house rule. The 5e style answer: the rules doesn't support it, but doesn't explicitly disallow it either. However, that can be said for a zillion rules interpretations. So in the end, if you like it, use it at your game. :-) [/QUOTE]
