I've started a new campaign, and the issue hasn't come up yet, but I'm thinking about making Sorcerer the favored class for Elves instead of Wizard. To me, Elves are closer to magic than Men, and I have a hard time seeing Elves pour over spellbooks the way Men do. Wizards are the crude forced imitation of Sorcerers. Functional, powerful, but crude. In my worlds, there are far more Human Wizards than Sorcerers. The Sorcerers that are "Human" always have a touch of something extra in their blood. Something in their distant ancestry, be it Elvish, Fey, Celestial, Draconic, Fiendish, something. What I am wondering is, would it upset the balance of the game to have an Elf's favored class as Sorcerer? But the trick is, I also think that Elves should have very powerful magic. As a Sorcerer, they wouldn't have access to higher level spells as soon as Wizards, but then again, they aren't as ambitious for power as Men. What do you all think?
