Raindog Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does anybody know of a FAQ site for 5th ED? Some of the rules are not as clear as I would like them to be. Cheers, RD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJP Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 They are mostly in the spell descriptions…... When in doubt, I get to decide ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casiarius Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I went through my own fruitless search for FAQs a couple weeks ago. I had to use my Search-Fu to find forum threads in which people were asking the same questions I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm curious what issues you are facing that need FAQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Ando, My first question, page 58, in the cleric section. The number of spells are your Level plus your Wisdom modifier. At first level, even though a cleric has the access to two spells according to the Cleric chart, they can only use the spells if they have a bonus to the cleric's Wisdom score. Question One. Does a first level cleric with a Wisdom of 16 start with four spells? Next, the example the book gives is for a Level 3 with a Wisdom of 16. The cleric had access to four L1 spells and two Level 2 spells. Per the rule, the cleric can only know all those spells if it has the +3 modifier for having a 16 Wisdom. The Book stats the spells must be in the "level for which you have spell slots." However, the "list of prepared spells" from 1st or 2nd level can be "in any combination." These rules seem contradictory. does the cleric have access to four L1 spells and two L2 spells or six L2 spells or three and three or two and four....

pretre Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Clerics know all spells by default. I think you mean 'prepared'. The number of spells on the list that they can cast is how many slots they can use per day. I.e. A first level cleric with Wis 16 can prepare 4 different spells but they can only cast the number on the chart. So let's say I'm a first level cleric, wis 16. Start of day, I prepare the following: Cure Wounds Bless Command Divine Favor Until our next long rest though, I can only cast two of those. The preparation just lets me have a variety of stuff available since I don't know what will happen over the course of the day. Now if I was level 3 with Wis 16, I could prepare 6 of any level and combination. Let's say: Cure Wounds Bless Command Aid Silence Spirtual Weapon This does not affect how many I can CAST, simply what spells are available to cast. I could end up just casting Cure Wounds with every single slot, if I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Think of it this way (largest group to smallest group): - Spells known (what spells you ultimately know and the total list of available spells for preparation) - Spells prepared (what spells you know on THAT DAY and can choose from when casting. Subset of spells known.) - Spells cast (What spells you chose from your prepared list to cast on any given day. Subset of spells prepared) Am I helping here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJP Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks for answering Pretre! 100% correct. Spellcasting is complicated. But, it works well in practice and is pretty similar to how 1e/2e worked, except that you don't need to 'prepare multiple castings' for a single spell.
