D&D 5E Spell Versatility is GONE. Rejoice!

[Gladius Legis]

I'm so happy that sanity prevailed and Spell Versatility as we knew it from the UA is dead as Dillinger in Tasha's.

I'd have been OK with it on the Ranger, but that's only because the Ranger should've just been a prepared caster, anyway. But the full casters who stood to get it? Nope. No stepping on the Wizard's toes with a stiletto heel for you.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

Nah. It stays at my table.

 

[Charlaquin]

Meh. It mostly seemed to exist to give DMs who are overly bound to RAW and/or running AL permission to allow players to swap out spell choices they regretted, and was clearly marked as optional so DMs who didn’t need that permission could leave it out. I don’t really see that anything is gained by its exclusion. Nothing is lost by it at my table, but something may be lost at tables where the DM is afraid to deviate from RAW.

This is good news and I may rethink my decision to not buy the book.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Really? One rule you didn't like was what was going to stop you from buying it?

Okay then.

 

[Weiley31]

I agree that its a sad thing that they removed Spell Versatility.

 

[TheSword]

The appropriateness of spell versatility is entirely dependent on how fast you level up.

I like the idea of swapping one spell once per session as appropriate.

 

[TwoSix]

I don't like it. Now what are we going to argue about?

 

[UngainlyTitan]

I would be inclined to still grant it to Sorcerers and Rangers.

 

[Aldarc]

I don't like it. Now what are we going to argue about?

We could always cast "Raise Dead" on some of the Warlord in 5e debates.
