[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8066811, member: 6987520"] OK, this is a solid example of what I mean. If, somehow, the Fighter can prepare his arrows so that it enables him to fire three arrows at once and hit with them, why can't he do that [I]all the time[/I]. The wizard can only handle memorizing so many spells of certain spell levels as defined by his class level. But what stops the fighter for doing it every time he wants to? If all it takes is "placing his arrows in a special way in his quiver" or something, he could (at the very least) rearrange his quiver the moment he had a few seconds to prepare it. But again, how can he "forget it"? If he knows how to ignore cover via Sharpshooter one day, but then isn't mentally prepared or decides not to set up his bow to do it the next day? It is simple enough in the narrative to say "he does it", but what is the reason he can't keep doing it? Wizards memorize spells and casting them (I assume) is fatiguing in some way (otherwise you could cast Magic Missile every round all day long...). Sorcerer's might be limited because of a similar drain, Warlocks might only have so much magic granted by their patron, etc. But what is it that stops the fighter from doing such things more at will, or at least every time they have a minute to prep their gear or whatever?
