[QUOTE="anhar, post: 3015763, member: 36596"] This armor ability does seem kinda poorly thought out, but yeah, most of my wizards/sorcerers just use mage armor/improved mage armor anyway. I hates me some threadjacks. 'm going to have to agree with the people saying this is a healthy shift for a sorcerer in this thread. especially in higher levels, {where this feat starts to shine for sorcerers} I start to see fights being decided in one or two rounds. maybe this is something that's specific to my campaign, but Sorcerers tend to be on the losing end of those fights more often than not. Initiative ends up being very very important. doesn't matter if you can cast 8 magic missles a day when the equal CR wizard can quickened evards black tentacles and then drop a horrid wilting. In more modern terms, no matter how much extra ammo he has, the guy with the bolt-action repeater tends to lose to the guy with a machine gun. It's true I've never seen the party sorcerer run out of spells, but we always stop when the cleric runs out. and he always runs out before anyone else. And I definitely agree with the Wizard being the swiss army knife. you see, he only has a limited number of his own prepared spells, but he can make scrolls for everything he can cast. Hewards handy haversack makes this a very combat-viable option. oh, and the thing about sorcerers is that unlike every single other class, there is absolutely no reason to stay a sorcerer when you have a prestige class available. {which they almost always take longer to qualify for}. you might take that 10th level of wizard before starting Red Wizard, just to get that bonus feat. No reason to ever do that as a sorcerer. they need some work. [/QUOTE]
