[QUOTE="Zhure, post: 1197729, member: 308"] Why? Because the Sorcerer levels up before the Wizard because the Wizzy spent so much experience on scrolls he's part of a level behind? Probably not. They probably level up at the same time, or pretty close to it, otherwise the whole "sorcerers are behind a level of spells after 3rd" is a false statement anyway. No, the Sorcerer and the Wizard level at the same time and pick spells at the same time. The Sorcerer picks spells known and the Wizard picks spells known [i]in his spellbook[/i]. Unless of course you were talking about the Sorcerer only having to meditate fifteen minutes and the Wizard having to spend an hour preparing his spells, in which case you're right, the Sorcerer gets done first. But let's assume Wizzy and Sorcy hook up at sixth level at a tavern, never having met before. What does your archetypical specialist have in his spellbook? What feats? What banned schools? It's possible the Sorcy has a lot of the same spells, or some the Wizzy can't even use from a spell completion device, or some combination of both. All of the sorcerers I've played at or near 10th level have at least 1 spell from every school, something no specialist is capable of doing. Greg [/QUOTE]
