First: thanks for all of the work you guys put into this!


Second: The "Theurgy" arcane tradition for Wizards (from Unearthed Arcana) doesn't work as it's supposed to.

Works: if you add ALL of your cleric domain spells to your spell book, you can then add any cleric spell to your spell book. It even correctly prevents you from adding the others until you've met the condition.

Broken: You can't prepare them. You can prepare the domain spells, but not the other cleric spells that might be in your spell book.

You shouldn't be required to prepare the domain spells first (that requirement only applies to learning the spells, not preparing them), but just in case I checked if it was mistakenly requiring that. Preparing the domain spells didn't help. So it's not as simple as "mistakenly requires you to prepare all of your domain spells before you can prepare non-domain cleric spells."

For example, my Theurge is of the Life domain. He wanted to learn (add to his spellbook) Guiding Bolt. Hero Lab is correctly now allowing him to learn/add Guiding bolt until after learning Bless and Cure Wounds. It doesn't even show Guiding Bolt (nor any other non-domain cleric spells) as an option to learn until after learning the others. But, when I want him to prepare the spells, Guiding Bolt isn't in the list of spells to prepare, no matter what I do.

Is this a community pack bug, or a hero lab bug?


Third: I think the INTENT of the rule is "you can learn other 1st level cleric spells after learning the 1st level domain spells, and learning the 2nd spell level / 3rd class level spells isn't required for learning other 1st level cleric spells". But it didn't show me the other 1st level cleric spells until after I learned ALL of the domain spells. (part of this might be based on creating this character at a higher level, I'm just saying: even with that in mind, I'm not sure if it's 100% correct that he couldn't learn Guiding Bolt until after he had learned ALL domain spells, instead of only needing to learn Bless and Cure Wounds). I could be wrong, but IMO the UA rule is vague about that. If I am worng, then it would mean the Theurge can't learn extra 1st level Cleric spells until they're 9th level. That seems like an odd requirement.
