Seeking clarification on the Spontaneous Divine Casters Variant from U.A.

[TrigBen]

Hello All,

I am hoping to receive some clarification in regards to the spontaneous divines casters variant from the Unearthed Arcana book.

Edit: Here's a link to the variant - http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/spontaneousDivineCasters.htm

Also, it can be found on Chapter 2: Classes - Page 64 - Section titled: Spontaneous Divine Casters of the Unearthed Arcana book.

In general, I am having trouble understanding how many "Spell slots" and "Spells Known" I have.

Here's an example using my current character:

If my character is a level 4 cleric and level 4 Ordained Champion (Level 8 overall character), I would be a level 6 caster. Therefore, when looking at the S.D.C. Spells Known table, I would have seven level-0 spells, four level-1 spells, two level-2 spells, and 1 level-3 spell known, correct?

For "Spell Slots" I would have seven level-0 spells, 5 level-1 spells, 3 level-2 spells, and 2 level-3 spells, correct? I have 18 Wisdom. In other words, I could cast any of my four level-1 spells five times a day, right?

Hope I am on the right track. This is all very confusing for me. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

Your Spells-per-Day (sic spell slots) remain the same per Cleric without the additional Domain Slots. You know a number of Spells listed on the linked table plus all the Spells in your selected Domains. So it comes out looking like this.

Code: [Select]

X: 0th 1st 2nd 3rd
Slots: 5 3 3 2
Know: 7 4+2 2+2 1+2

Thank you Soro_Lost for the response.

The table neatly clarifies the information I was curious about.

To conclude this topic: if I have a Wisdom ability score of 18 (an ability modifier of 4), would the table look as such?

X:	0th	1st	2nd	3rd
Slots:	5	4	4	3
Know:	7	4+2	2+2	1+2

You do get bonus spells per day, as is normal for all actual spellcasters, yes.

[TrigBen]

Okay, Chemus.  So, my table stands correct?

[Chemus]

Sorry, that's what I meant above. Yes, your table is correct.

[TrigBen]

Sweet, thanks for the confirmation, Chemus.
