[QUOTE="seasong, post: 851834, member: 5137"] DreamChaser: I appreciate it! You're making me think harder about it, and that's good :D. There's already a self-limiting aspect to the level-1 spells. The sorcerer, as written, can know up to 5 level-1 spells at 1st level. However, note that all of those spells must be from the same school. While that's not terribly limiting, it does mean that the advantage of having more than 2-3 options is lessened somewhat. And most sorcerers I know like to be able to use their 0-level slots for last ditch [i]rays of frost[/i] and special effects with [i]prestidigitation[/i]. That cuts two right there :). In all, I don't think it would unbalance anything, and if it gives a bit of an edge at the low levels, it pretty much balances out later on. At 20th level, of course, the sorcerer can potentially know 6 level-9 spells... but I don't think that will be too terrible. [/QUOTE]
