Rogue Minor / Major Magic Talents - Clarificaiton requested


General Discussion (Prerelease)


On pages 39-49 of the Beta, for the Minor/Magic talent, does the Rogue get to:

1) Choose a spell each day (morning?) and it can be any spell from the Sorcerer/Wizard list, ie a different one each day if he so desired.

or

2) Choose one (a) spell and that is the spell he knows and it never changes?

Of course my player wants #1, but I would like to hear an official ruling, because the way it is worded can mean #2... thanks!

ps. The Beta softcover came in the mail today. Dang fine book!!!


I think the ability is clearly going for 2. If it meant you could choose it each day, it would have said that, since that would need its own mechanics. But you're right, it is a bit ambiguous.

My reading of it puts it in option 2, since it says "A rogue with this talent gains the ability to cast a 0-level spell"
usually when you get the option to chage it phrases it as "ability to cast 0-level spells". and if it were changable per day, ti would say "the rogue can select a 0-level spell from the list after 8 hours of rest" or something.

I see it like, this rogue learns how to pick a lock using mage hand (as an example, dont even knwo if that works), but that is not the same as casting grease, something this other rogue can do. gaining access to the entire list and being able to change it seems a buit to powerful for a simple trick.

just my take.
