Message: <blockquote data-quote="MarauderX" data-source="post: 657055" data-attributes="member: 9990">There would be no distinction between wizards and sorcerers, really, and in order to limit the power of a wizard would become limiting the number of spells he has access to.I don't like how the memorization works either, so I changed to be a minimum of 4 hours of sleep or 6 hours rest, along with 4 hours of study to memorize spells, assemble components and study spellcraft.  In this way a mage can "reload" her spells as necessary to fit a given situation.  Clerics have to sleep 4 hours or rest for 6, then begin prayers for 2 to 4 hours where they are instilled with devine power for the day.The other aspect is anticipating what is to come.  Wizards entering dark caves like to have at least one light spell handy of course, but can't anticipate what is going to be down there, so he can memorize a variety of spells to try to meet them all; sleep for a bunch of goblins, burning hands to finish off a troll, or magic missle to soften up some undead.  In that way I agree with you, and the DM can be kind and give an idea of what's down there that goes along with the plot of tracking something to the dungeon.  Or he could not, and you just have to go for it, which is much more suited to upper level play.  Clerics are more high powered in 3E and don't need anything else to add to their arsenal since they can already convert any normally memorized spell into a cure/wound spell at will.</blockquote>
