Preparing Spells for Non-Preparers

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The standard rules of Dungeons and Dragons present two different types of spellcasters: preparers and non-preparers.  While Druids, Paladins, Wizards, and Clerics can choose which spells they'd like to use each day, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Rangers have a much smaller group of spells that they have access to all the time.  At first glance, each system seems to have its own merits and detriments.  However, the classes unable to prepare spells each day are considered by many to be worse.  While the Ranger is consistently rated as the least powerful class, the Sorcerer and Warlock are often considered the worst of the full-casters.  Granted, there are other reasons why these classes are rated poorly, such as the power imbalance of the Ranger and Sorcerer subclasses.  Allowing these classes to prepare spells after a long rest, though, gives them a much needed boost in versatility and gives players a more enjoyable experience while playing them.

These changes were made with great care, since allowing every class to prepare the entirety of spells available to them would make the Wizard substantially worse.  Instead, the Sorcerer and Warlock gain multiple spells per level, just as the Wizard would, and in turn, the Wizard gains more spells per level than either.  The Wizard remains the only class able to add spells found in their adventures to their repertoire, and the Warlock still has more limited spellcasting capabilities than the Sorcerer.  The Ranger's spellcasting now functions identically to the Paladin's.

These supplemental rules include minor adjustments to the spellcasting rules for Sorcerers, Warlocks, Rangers, and Wizards, as well as some flavor text justifying the changes for the purposes of storytelling.  These rules are currently untested, and feedback is appreciated.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
