~P r e p a r in g a n d C a s t in g Sp e l l s
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have
to cast your spells. To cast one o f your paladin spells of
1st level or higher, you must expend a slot o f the spell’s
level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when
you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list o f paladin spells that are available
for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list.
When you do so, choose a number o f paladin spells
equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin
level, rounded down (minimum o f one spell). The spells
must be o f a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have
four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a
Charisma o f 14, your list o f prepared spells can include
four spells o f 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you
prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast
it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell
doesn’t remove it from your list o f prepared spells.
You can change your list o f prepared spells when you
finish a long rest. Preparing a new list o f paladin spells
requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
So, my Paladin is at 4th level. He can prepare 3 - 1st level spells. With a +4 Charisma he can cast 6 spells per encounter of any combination of the 3? Right?

| #2AaronOfBarbariaOct 03, 2014 7:20:31 | You can prepare half your paladin level, plus your Charisma modifier spells. With a +4 Charisma modifier, that means 6 spells prepared. Note that your divine oath actually gives you two more prepared spells, for a total of 8.
You have 3 1st-level spells slots. You may cast a spell by spending 1 of these spell slots and selecting which spell from among those you have prepared.
Your spent spell slots replenish when you complete a long rest, and at that time you are also able to change the spells which you have prepared.
