Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hypersmurf" data-source="post: 4465334" data-attributes="member: 1656">But the specific rules for a wizard's spellbook are that "you can prepare a number of daily and utility spells according to what you can cast per day for your level".What daily and utility powers can a character of level 15 use?  Per DMG p143, one 15th, 9th, and 5th level Daily, and one 10th, 6th, and 2nd Utility.  So the wizard can prepare a number of daily and utility spells, and they correspond to the daily and utility powers he can use each day for his level - one 15th, 9th, and 5th level Daily, and one 10th, 6th, and 2nd Utility.(I think there are two ways of reading the "you can prepare" line:1. You can prepare a number of spells according to X.  What is dependent on X? The number.2. You can prepare a number of spells according to X.  What is dependent on X? The spells.  (Of which you can prepare a number)Reading 1 means that the levels of the spells are independent of X; all X tells us is how many we can prepare.  But the FAQ and game balance both discredit this reading, pointing us instead to reading 2 - the spells themselves are limited by X, not just how many we can prepare.)For what it's worth, the <a href="http://wizards.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wizards.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1396" target="_blank">PHB FAQ</a> has these answers:How does retraining and multiclassing work with the spellbook? If you retrain a daily or utility power you only retrain one of your two choices for that level, if you choose a lower level power while retraining it still occupies the same level. If you swap a power with a power from a different class through multiclassing you replace both spell choices with the new power. If you are replacing spells as you gain a level, like at 15th level when you replace a daily power, you replace the spells from one level with an equal number of spells from the new level.Can a 5th level wizard memorize two 5th level daily spells instead of a 1st and a 5th level daily spell? At the end of each long rest, a wizard prepares one 1st-level Daily spell chosen from the list of 1st level daily spells in her spellbook. If she were at least 2nd level, she would also prepare one 2nd-level utility spell chosen from the list of 2nd-level utility spells in her spellbook. At 5th level she would also prepare one 5th-level daily spell from her list of 5th-level daily spells in her spellbook. She would repeat this process for every level that she has access to wizard daily or utility spells. She could not, as a 5th-level wizard, prepare a second 5th-level daily spell in place of a daily spell of a different level. -Hyp.</blockquote>
