Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback preparing spells: subject to difficulty setting?

I'd understand that for EA purposes, being able to switch spells anytime outside of combat is useful to test all sorts of things, and also for more relaxed settings for people coming from D:OS2
But for a supposed "Hardcore 5E" difficulty setting, I'd expect you can only change prepared spells with a full rest / at camp.

I wasn't able to switch my Cleric or Wizard spells unless I leveled up or was at camp. Can you provide more information please?

There's a difference between spells learned and spells prepared:
- Wizards can learn new spells either via scrolls or via level up (pick 2), while Clerics immediately get access to all spells of their class (as soon as they gain the ability to cast spells of that level)
- "Spells prepared", aka the selection of spells you are ready to cast, should only be able to be changed with a long rest (at camp). But BG3 lets you do it whenever you're out of combat - the tutorial text states that clearly in-game, and this is how it worked for me
