So if WOTC uses the same method for all previously spontaneous casters (Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Rangers) that means all of those classes can now daily prepare any spell from their spell list as spells prepared. We haven't seen an example of a prepared caster (Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Wizard) so we have no idea if they're going to use the same idea for them as well (although divine casters could do this already so not much change on their end. Now I know this is all assumptions, but let's say one of the following happens:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Sorcerers can prep spells like a bard does/ Wizards continue to prep spells like current 5e.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Sorcerers can prep spells like a bard/ Wizards have a completely different ruleset for preparing spells that we haven't seen yet.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Sorcerers have a completely different ruleset for preparing spells that we haven't seen yet./ Wizards continue to prep spells like current 5e.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Wizards and Sorcerers both prep spells using a completely different ruleset for preparing spells that we haven't seen yet.</li> </ol>There may be other possibilities I haven't thought of though. Now I know this is all based off assumptions, but that's all we got at this point. So these possibilities make me wonder about the Wiz/Sorc in DD1 because one of the biggest factors that differentiated the Sorcerer from the Wizard in D&D has been how they access their spells. If both are prep casters now with the sorcerer being able to access all arcane spells, but the wizard being limited to only their spellbook then the wizard needs class abilities to make up for that disparity. If both prep the same way then the class abilities need to be significantly different to make them both feel like distinct classes. I really hope WOTC drops the Mages classes next because I really want to see how they're handling both.</blockquote>
