[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6202770, member: 92511"] Well, the armor-wearing healer cleric would be one of those many myriads of the default Priest. The Mystic, and I'll add here that coming up with a term for this one was the most difficult/last one I filled in, so a better title is entirely possible, I was thinking would be the more combat inclined/martial artist. The "monk-ish" guy but with the "holy-disciplined-ascetic" baggage (which the more straight "Warrior martial artist Monk" doesn't need/have) and some "priestly" powers but not spells, like a Paladin has. Well, Defcon's suggestion as putting it into the Psychic is a good one. There's no reason one couldn't flavor someone with a Psychic's innate powers as a sorcerer. What I was thinking was it is simply one of the myriad of possibilities for the "Wizard: Mage" default. You could easily create a Mage whose magic powers are innate and perfected through trial/error/practice instead of study. Alternatively, if the "But I have to be able to use weapons and wear armor too cuz [for some reason] that's what I think a sorcerer is!", one could make a "sorcerer" from the Bard. Again, the Bard character just flavored as an innately magical versus studied/learned person...not so far fetched as the fantasy genre goes. That sounds like a very specific individual, not a fantasy character archetype...and no, I do not know them. :) I see nothing in this character that can not be accomplished but using a Mage, Psychic or Bard...possibly others as well. But definitely not something requiring its own facet in the Crown Jewel. As long as the only thing defining a "Sorcerer", as you seem to be thinking, is an arcane magic-user who is innately magical/doesn't need to study, that is a matter of fluff easily accomplished through any of the arcane spell-casting variations I've listed or simply be included as one of the options within the default block. A Witch could be a sorcerer. A Thaumaturgist could be a sorcerer (I, personally, would not fluff them as such. But it is a possibility I wouldn't begrudge others). An Illusionist or Trickster could be a sorcerer...as well as any Mage, Psychic or Bard. My thanks. I appreciate that. :) [/QUOTE]
