[QUOTE="JoeBlank, post: 2181975, member: 1806"] As you and others have mentioned, this is a very cool idea but it requires a lot of work from the DM and steals some thunder from the player. I've been looking for a way to get motivated about playing my cleric again (we rotate DMs in one game, and my PC cleric has been on and off-camera side quest while I took my turn in the DM's chair). Maybe a version of your idea might be in order. I'm going to look at the idea of randomly rolling at least on spell per spell level each day, and considering this the spell that the cleric's deity choose for him. Then I'll try to figure out, over the course of the day, when and how to use that spell. Any suggestions on how best to implement this? I could use it for his domain spells too (just a 50/50 chance for which domain spell the cleric gets, out of two domains, at each spell level). I would then select all but one of his regular spells at each spell level, and then roll randomly for the last spell of that spell level, from all the spells available in the campaign. I'd probably reroll any spells I had already choosen for the day, but maybe the deity was telling him to prepare that particular spell twice. [/QUOTE]
