[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7808000, member: 6795602"] Anyways, the typical 5e wizard vs sorcerer comparison boils down to: a little more combat power and possibly a highly specialized trick vs a little more in combat versatility and alot more out of combat versatility. I don't think there's a wrong answer here. From my experience I've played both and I much prefer Wizards in actual play. I suppose a very high level sorcerer might feel a lot better, but through most of tier 1 and tier 2 the wizard feels better IMO (limited sorcery points are a huge limitation). I will say this though. I played a mostly out of combat sorcerer with subtle spell and suggestion and other out of combat goodies. I mostly used firebolt in combat (I think I had fireball as well but rarely used it). That character felt good to me. If I was to play a sorcerer again I'd play it more like that than like the typical char-op versions that take a bunch of combat spells and metamagics. Twin and subtle with either actor or the ritual caster feat. [/QUOTE]
