[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 1350361, member: 913"] I'm not sure that the class is that poorly balanced, but it is poorly designed. For a class that is supposed to cover charismatic individuals that get by on force of personality, the class should have some social skills. In addition, the Wizard's naturally high intelligence counteracts the limited base number of skill points, but sorcerers do not have that advantage, and so are forced to rely on a very limited selection of skills to complement their very limited selection of spells, along with their nearly nonexistent selection of ranged and melee physical attacks. I've house-ruled the sorcerer with three minor fixes: 1.) 4 skill points per level 2.) Bluff, Disguise, Diplomacy, and Animal Handling are class skills 3.) Sorcerer spells are cast as if with the feat Eschew Materials So far the changes have provided the sorcerer with a little more flavor and versatility, while not significantly changing the power level of the class.
