[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 7722963, member: 4936"] I've always kind of felt, even from 3rd Edition, that Warlocks did the 'innate magic' thing better than sorcerers did. Seriously, just reflavor your Otherworldly Patron as a Bloodline and boom, you basically have a really neat template for a sorceror. Someone who has innate magic powers, and some limited spellcasting that refreshes faster than a book-mage. I agree you'd need to work pretty seriously on the invocation list. And possibly have quite a number of unique invocations available only to specific bloodlines to make sure that each bloodline had fun toys no one could steal, and a unique theme or flavor. Then make Metamagic a feat or something. Like, each type of metamagic is a feat, and you get a limited number of points per day (each additional metamagic feat increases that number by a small amount) or maybe just you can only use each feat a limited number of times or something. I dunno. Playtest needed here. Or. OR. Maybe that's the difference. Warlocks get their Pact type (tome, chain, etc), but sorcerors get Metamagic instead of a Pact. Mm. That'd be kind of weird. I don't know, I only just started thinking about this. Even so, the point is just that the way warlocks use magic strikes me as very sorcerous. The way sorcerers use magic...not so much. [/QUOTE]
