I have not played many casters (1 so far) and I had a question regarding how the Shaman casts their spells. I see that they know all Shaman spells, but have to memorize what they will cast that day, and can only cast a specific number each day.
Lets say a 1st level shaman has 2 1st level spells they can cast today. So they memorize Cure Light Wounds and Burning Hands. Do they have 2 first level spells slots, meaning they can cast 2 Burning Hands, 2 Cure Light Wounds, or one of each? Or are they restricted to cast one of each?
They can cast as many has they have prepared. So if they memorize 1 Burning Hands and 1 Cure Light Wounds, they can cast 1 Burning Hands and 1 Cure Light Wounds.
If you had instead chosen to memorize 2 Cure Light Wounds, you could cast 2 Cure Light Wounds that day, but 0 Burning Hands because you didn't memorize it that day.
Thanks...Im thinking I would prefer a caster with spell slots vs memorized casting per day. Would that be mainly arcane casters?
Oracle on the divine side. And all the psychic casters.

All casters have spell slots. You seem to want a spontaneous caster (like sorcerers, oracles, summoners, and inquisitors) as opposed to prepared casters (like clerics, druids, and wizards)
Jeraa, you are correct.
So the wording I am looking for is Spontaneous vs. Prepared.
