But what "commonalities" are there in a mix "of psion, sorcerer, and a few other odds and ends"? What supporting mechanics did Tasha's add for sorcerers? I don't remember seeing anything. Huh? I am not following your comment here in response to my comment about metamagics going only to...

This seems like something that would make a good setting point: sorcerers are hunted like the mutant menace was, but by wizards who view their innate magic as wrong. Might be too harsh for some though.

LOL I don't feel like it has ben answered.

I never have. Do you have an example? If you mean spontaneous casting instead of Vancian, then it wasn't just the wizards, but all casters in 5E. It was a poor choice I think myself. It's a pity. Since 2024 isn't seeing a new edition, I am not expecting any real improvements, just add-ons.

Right, but what is the cost/ balance for the sorcerer, not the wizard? No problem, that makes more sense. Then does this: "the modern sorcerer is a mix of psion, sorcerer, and a few other odds and ends" mean the sorcerer lacks identity? So lack of support from WotC in the 5E sorcerer design...

The inherent gift is demonstrated in game play through spells. Spell that come from within. Innate spellcasting, right? Your description is really good. Makes me think this idea is more like a superhero than any other class. Born with special powers, exposure to magical "radiation", etc. I...

Been thinking a bunch about the sorcerer threads. Seems to me the biggest thing sorcerers need is a concrete identity? Can it only be "innate spellcasting"? It is enough? At what cost? Where is the balance? Who would play a caster that relies on magic from "outside" if a caster that relies on...

No option from Trump? ;)

I've seen similar ideas. You aren't good at Athletics because you are strong, you are strong because you're good at Athletics. That sort of thing.

He is an old friend of mine from college. If you want I could ask him if I can PM you his e-mail and you can reach out to him that way. I know he's working on a new project but he'd probably have time.

It should have been more serious OR not called D&D. Despite what many people think, D&D is still not as "main stream" as you might think. While it is leaps and bounds further than it was decades ago, a lot of people will still give you a "look" if you mention it. We're getting there, but not...

Either.

If you want to roll, we roll 4d6 down the line, with an extra 4d6, which can replace any one of the first six rolls. For example, six 4d6 rolls down the line: 14, 13, 8, 14, 15, 12 Extra 4d6 roll: 13 The 13 can be used to replace the 8, for 14, 13, 13, 14, 15, 12, in order. Otherwise, you can...

Wait, do you mean you don't like how long combat takes to play out or you don't like the waiting part? Or both?

It should be nerfed as it is much too good. We allow the feat, but you can only apply one of its benefits to an attack. You can ignore cover, not have disadvantage at long range, OR accept the -5 attack for +10 damage. Most often we see it being used on targets already in melee, so the cover...
