Re: 5e clerics - dumb question
In reply to Knight_Vassal (msg # 5):
Um, no, not really. before they could only cast a spell the number of times it was prepared (and it was forgotten when cast), and no rituals (other than 4th ed, which worked differently than all the others).
Prep slots and Cast slots were the same slots. Now they are different. Now you can simply memorize one of each, and cast whatever suits your fancy, potentially more than once, and/or at a higher level than the memorized slot it fills.
