With all this talk about standard sorcerers being monstrous sorcerers, I started to think about the implications of:
Sorcerers manifesting spell-like abilities instead of casting spells.
The rationale is that sorcerers have draconic blood, never learn spells (the spells are awakened abilities each level), and charisma is their "spellcasting" ability score.
Manifesting spell-like abilities means that:
*Sorcerers cannot counterspell nor are their spells able to be counterspelled.
*Sorcerers "cast" spells without need for material, somatic, verbal, or focus components.
*Sorcerers cannot use magic items that require a spell completion or spell trigger to work (because they don't cast spells per se).
*Sorcerers could cast spells in armor without penalty.
*Sorcerers get bonus spells due to high charisma (like dragons).
Has anyone tried this already? If so how did it work out? Any other thoughts?
