Noob here and I’ve discovered that when I create a new Grave Cleric, I’m not allowed to select spells and my Known spells are auto populated. Why am I not allowed to pick my own spells like when I am creating a wizard?
You should be. Clerics get some spells auto-prepared, but they don't count against the number of spells you're able to prepare, they're bonus spells. Can you provide a link to your character sheet? Use the full URL, not the link generated by the 'share' button, in case staff needs to take a look.
Thanks for the reply! Sorry for the confusion. I can prepare spells and have an arsenal, but I was not able to pick any of those spells myself. They were all automatically given to me. But I’m able to go in and prepare them and such.
When you're looking at the Spells section, there should be a Manage Spells button at the top. Click that and then in the Cleric tab, you'll be able to scroll down a list of possible spells. Scroll past the cantrips you can Learn (or else click the 1st tag) and you'll see the 1st-level spells which you can click Prepare on.
Edit: You can also Learn 3 Cleric cantrips in addition to the 2 cantrips you already know: Thaumaturgy due to being a Tiefling, and Spare the Dying from being a Grave Domain Cleric.
Clerics and Druids both always know their entire class spell lists. This means you will always get to pick which spells to prepare from the full list of spells available to your level.
Hey!
Noob here and I’ve discovered that when I create a new Grave Cleric, I’m not allowed to select spells and my Known spells are auto populated. Why am I not allowed to pick my own spells like when I am creating a wizard?
Thanks!
For reference: I’m using the mobile app.

Any help with this?

Ahh that answers my question, Llethander, thank you!
