The Sculpt Self also sounds like something that could be left to normal feat-taking - it doesn't need to be built into the class, unless a GM decides that it's good for their world.Alternate voice powers: I think these will generally be better off as normal metamagic feats; the maximize makes a nice bonus, but too many and the sorcerer starts looking like a swiss army knife, which is the wizard's role <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Regarding silence: Can't believe I didn't think that through. Silence is already too powerful, no need to make it the standard tactic against sorcerers. Here's a feat sorcerers can take, based loosely on your idea for a voice power:Persistent Word (Metamagic)Benefit: A persistent word spell's verbal component works despite magical silence, allowing the caster to cast the spell in a silence area. A persistent word spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.Special: Persistent word is only available to sorcerers (just like spell mastery for wizards).Note that this is not automatically gained - the sorcerer must expend an ordinary character level feat to get it, and it works just like silent spell except that it isn't stealthy. This also suffers from the usuall full round casting - a sorcerer has to work to cast in a silence area, but they can still do it.And woe betide the person who was relying on silence to completely stop the sorcerer <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.</blockquote>
