The High Aldwin
I would go sorcerer. I see people talking about the versatility of wizards but I think that is a smokescreen. Most wizards I have seen rarely swap out spells and if they do It they never swap out more than one or two. Instead, they fill their spellbook with useless trinkets and ribbons like a deranged Pokemon trainer “gotta catch em’ all”.
While that is a very good point, and IME I have to agree most of the time, I would consider the cap on known spells to prepared. At 1st level, when known spells is only 2, prepared is likely 4.
At level 10, the sorcerer will know 11 spells, while the wizard will have 14 or even 15 prepared spells. Those 3 or 4 extra spells choices can be crucial. If the player expects to maybe reach 20th level, the difference is 15 known versus a very likely 25 prepared. Now, you are talking 10 more spells you have the option to cast daily!
