[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3407133, member: 2067"] I'd like to buy it, but conventional wisdom has the Sorc being underpowered -- the ability to rifle off a few more spells/day (even with a good, decently scaling spell selection) is usually not that powerful when compared to the spell level they lag and the ability to switch out your spells on the fly (especially for metamagic, which the sorc almost cannot use). In versatility, they ain't got nothing on the Wizard, and a "dark wizard" like the Warlock is a really strong archetype, while a "charismatic dragon-blooded magician" like the Sorcerer is significantly less popular. Their main strength is the few more spells/day, something that doesn't even come into play if you don't have more than a few encounters before resting (and if you're going by the cleric's ability to heal, you'll be ending usually long before the Wiz runs out of spells, making the Sorc's main bonus rarely used). The Warlock does that strength better (infinite spells/day), anyway. So what makes the Sorc so good in your eyes? [/QUOTE]
