Divibe Soul is dead. It makes no sense when picked at higher levels. If you are the party healer, you need to be it from the get go. Otherwise, by the time you turn into a healer the party already has a healer. Also, getting access to the extra spell list after you have chosen your cantrips? And...

No half-elf no sell.

On the contrary, having cure wounds on the core sorcerer list would soften the blow of subclass being moved to higher levels, basically by allowing sorcerers to be healers and feel different from wizards from first level up.

Well, for metamagic I have this idea that was inspired by the old reverse spells and the way enhance ability works (plus how spell scaling works). Basically metamagic is built-in in the spells, as variants withing the spell, some variants require higher slot levels, some might even reduce the...

You need to let go of the idea of wizard as a sorcerer subclass. I'm among posters who have proposed it, but it isn't entirely a genuine desire. Rather it started as a reaction to posters who want to get rid of sorcerer by shoving it under wizard. The argument "but wizards have a gift for magic...

The whole point is dangerously similar to one of the elements I handle in my stories. Many people and creatures have inherited a shard of the original living being. That shard is inherited from parents to children, and when activated, it provides powers to the creature that possess it. The shard...

In-universe? It is not a choice nor something than can be truly controlled. There are bloodlines, but even that won't be a guarantee.

I would make it from the other side, sorcerer as the default caster, everyting else gated behind heavy prerreqs and adventures don't assume you have anything but sorcerers.

My books are physical, it is not that I think they are going away (but WotC could always send Pinkertons to get them n_n). What I feel is that they will be devalued. 5e has a lot of value as a compromise edition, everybody's second option. Without being the up to date edition, chances to play it...

Zero? I'm more like at negative...

That's just Vancian but worse.

I was thinking of Scion as a name for the latter.

Even if we take you at your word, the sorcerer isn't a wizard subclass mechanically. If anything it is the other way around. It is trivially easy to write a custom sorcerer subclass that covers 80% of a wizard without even getting overpowered. It is very hard to make a custom wizard subclass...

But you are making a categorical mistake. Sorcerer isn't Wizard but hot. Wizard is Sorcerer but lame bookish.

Yeah, we've danced this dance before, neither was satisfied. Maybe if we could focus on what we want instead of what we don't want? https://www.enworld.org/threads/brainstorm-sorcerer-upgrades.703731/
