UA: Battle Sorcerer

[Bront]

I'd like to propose the Battle Sorcerer variant of the Sorcerer in UA..

Battle Sorcerer

Basic changes:
HD: D8
Skills: Substitute Intimidate for Bluff on the Sorcerer skill list.
Proficiencies: Add light armor and a light or one-handed Martial weapon
Spellcasting: Knows and may cast 1 less spell per level

Otherwise it's standard.

In addition to the stuff above they gain the equivalent of Armored Mage (w/light armor).

Works for me. yes. I've always thought it was a suboptimal build personally, but that just me.

I like Warmage better myself, but no one has tried to get them going (too much taint of the Orb spells), so YES from me.

 

[Bront]

Sorcerer is already suboptimal in many respects, and this may be a bit better only in that you get some fighting ability. It's not quite a dusk blade, but it's not as specialized as one either.

And good catch on the Armored mage.

 

[Rystil Arden]

YES This variant is a pretty fair trade-off.
