@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Why are rangers spells known casters instead or prepared each day? #dnd CC: @Dan_Dillon_1 @Umbralwalker

Spells known v. prepared—preparation is a flexibility feature that not all spellcasters are meant to have. #DnD https://t.co/haH7wSBRpe

@Dan_Dillon_1 @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearls @Umbralwalker was there any deliberate decision that led to pally getting that flex over rnger? Spell prep lets a paladin change emphasis (damage/defense/healing)—intentional.

@Dan_Dillon_1 @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearls @Umbralwalker was there any deliberate decision that led to pally getting that flex over rnger? A ranger is meant to have a few signature magical abilities represented by spells.

@JamesIntrocaso @JeremyECrawford @Dan_Dillon_1 @Umbralwalker they're not really bookish or studied in the way I see preparers

@Umbralwalker @Dan_Dillon_1 @JamesIntrocaso @JeremyECrawfordYet bards can’t be argued to be Non-Bookish. (thanks for jumping in Mike). they have the vagabond thing going, though

@Umbralwalker @Dan_Dillon_1 @JamesIntrocaso @JeremyECrawfordAs Dan said, it’s likely a flavor issue. Prep doesn’t need to mean “books” to me. yeah, it can definitely shift depending on how you tilt things

@Umbralwalker @Dan_Dillon_1 @JamesIntrocaso @JeremyECrawford for instance, bard to me feels more like "I've picked up a few tricks"
