Seems to me that's part of the whole thing about being a trained caster - they are able to sort things out/organize the talents they have inherently or learned to channel them into specific areas ... i.e. they can CHOOSE their spells.But that's just my take.Elfwitch - thank you for posting the description about the DM. Your favorable depiction is EXACTLY what I picked up "between the lines" of the post ... and I am more than glad that you are willing to continue playing the game and not just up and away because something did not "go your way"! We need more playing like that.In a certain sense it is like life. We all try "career paths" or whatnot for a time. Heck, some of us even go to college for years to train to be a particular profession only to discover it is not where our hearts really lie. If you choose the ranger (or whatever else) turn the whole event into a good opportunity to RP - make the best of the situation. Often unexpected things give the flavor to the game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
