Wizards cannot learn all spells

[WeenerTuck813]

They fixed wizards - they can no longer learn all spells from scrolls.

I’m on Gale right now, he cannot learn Guiding bolt.

This means no more Armor of Agathis + Arcane Ward temp HP god wizards 🥺

Did not know that ... glad they fixed it.

I mean it should be fixed so that’s good.

But ngl it was really awesome to have a Wizard who could pop on Armor of Agathis for +26 temp HP (it stacked with Arcane Ward) that did 10 thorns damage when struck to the attacker

And then put Sword of Justice on your Wizard to cast +2 AC spell that happens to be Abjuration…which refreshes your 26 temp HP.

Oh, finally. I was starting to worry that was something they were gonna keep.

So basically they removed one of the core strengths of wizards? they are the class known for being able to master any spell with study and its one of their main selling points over playing a sorcerer, bard or other magic caster, those folks channel magic wizards prepare the right spell even if they don't yet know it.

edit: unless you meant they can no longer learn class specific spells only which is not very clear from your wording.

Wizards could learn any spells in prior versions from any class etc, which was not how wizards work. They should only be allowed to learn their class spells from scrolls. And now it seems they do.

Right so his title should say wizards cannot learn class specific spells instead of all spells as one sounds like they lost a core class ability while the other does not.

Yet Shove is still a bonus action...

Good it got fixed . More reasons to get rid of Gale .

Well, they can't learn all spells, they can learn all wizard spells. Think the title is fine.

its definitely not fine unless you write for cnn or fox news, its at best confusing and at worst someone will read op's post assume wizards have limited spells and never buy the game because they can't play their fantasy wizard class.

I really hope someone's not making their purchasing decisions based purely on reading the title of a single forum post.

Honestly I'm not even sure what you think it means, but it means that just like in the D&D ruleset, wizards cannot learn all the spells!

Saying they can't learn class-specific spells makes it MORE confusing, because that's not really a concept. All spells are class-specific, each class has its own specific spell list.

Are we sure this was an intended change I looked at the changelist and I do not see this change mentioned

D&D has absolutely no class balance if Wizards can learn every spell in the game.

It seems unlikely to be an accidental change.
