Spell Choice for Clerics vs Wizards

Really simple dumb question, but I want to make sure I'm getting this right:

 

  • Clerics can prepare spells from the entire cleric spell list available to them at their level
  • Wizards can only prepare spells from their spell book

 

So after a long rest a cleric could have a totally different set of spells than the previous day?

 

In terms of the character sheet it almost makes no sense to use the "prepared" tick-boxes for clerics, as unless you're going to write out all the cleric spells from the whole list onto your character sheet, you'd only ever really have prepared ones on the list

 

Hope I've got that right

Yes clerics prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for them to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list.  (Basic D&D pg.22)

There are three lists of spells.  

1. List of spells you can prepare from (all for cleric, book for wizard)

2. List of Prepared spells. This is what you have chosen to prepare for the day, you may only cast from this list, unless it's a ritual and your are wizard.

3. Spell slots from which you cast prepared spells.

In reference to page 3 of the character sheet (spell and magic sheet):

 

I have my clerics write all the cleric spells along with their components (V,S,M - cost) so it looks like this:

Identify (V,S,M - Pearl 100 gp)

 

Then when they prepare it, they bubble in the prepared circle.

 

Wizards?

Those lazy jerks have to write their spells that are within the spellbook on the lines instead. So, if they do learn more spells between adventures they could theoretically have all the wizard spells ever.

mmmmm money.

MMMMMMMMMM...

SPELLS.
