[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6165392, member: 63"] Look at how 'Wizardry' is framed in the Mage class. It states that you get a spellbook, use your Int for saves, do ritual casting, and have arcane recovery. Now, I'm kinda with you in that if they want a 'simple caster' then the default mage needs to not get so much stuff, and it needs to instead be bundled with 'Wizardry.' But theoretically they just have to list a new Mage option called 'Sorcery' that gives the proper abilities. Personally, I hope they ditch sorcerers as detailed in 3e. They're really just a mild tweak to wizards, with all the 30 years of baggage those come with. Do something new. Make a class that works like a superhero with his own unique suite of powers, or like Magic: the Gathering where you tap energy to cast spells, or allow pure at-will magic, or make something like Air-Benders from Avatar where you can do tons of things within one specific field. Simply saying, "You're a wizard, but you can cast more spells from a narrower list" is honestly kind of boring, and is lazy design. [/QUOTE]
