Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pax" data-source="post: 1347212" data-attributes="member: 6875">Well, again, I thint he soreror needs just a few, small things to improve it's balance.  Cheif among these would be a seperate, unique spell list.  That'd be the biggest change, but I would like sorcerors to be somethign other than, in essence, "wizards with built-in spellbooks".  Next up, reassessing what is or isn't a class skill.  I think one or two wopuld be a good idea to add; Use Magic Device is a wonderfully appropriate way to go about that, IMO.  Third, I'd allow sorcerors to Specialise -- representing an innate bent or trend in their inborn ability to wield magic.  Same costs as a Wizard, but, let them know one additional spell -- within their specialty school - per spell level they have access to.  This could even come int he form of a specified list - "Necromancer-Sorcerors get X spells added to their spells known list" - rather than "choose whichever you like".  Fourth, bonus feats, at the same rate as Wizards - metamagic or Bloodline (a la Dragon #311) only; the first level feat should IMO be Eschew Materials; alternately, you could require the player to select a bloodline feat or eschew materials, as their first-level bonus feat.  Fifth, I honestly think the sorceror should have a d6 hit die.  Note, that none of this is meant to truly increase the power of the sorceror dramatically; a little nudge here, a little tweak there, and a lot of flavor-differentiation to enhance how different a Sorceror is from a Wizard!  <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=":)" /></blockquote>
