[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6581545, member: 37579"] As mentioned, we haven't even made it to the first real expansion product and there's already a sorcerer only spell. More will come. Sorcerers are differentiated by their spell list. If they're just wizards with spontaneous casting them they don't need to be a class, just an alternate form of casting ala spell points. The different spell list justifies their existence. Which makes senseas they're only ever going to gave a couple spells of each level. You don't want to be the sorcerer that casts [i]phantom steed[/i] again and again in combat. The spells wizards choose to learn from scrolls or copied from spellbooks - the ones no wizards opts to auto-learn - don't need to be on a sorcerer's spell list. And very often there'll just be a set choice. When blaster sorcerers gain 3rd level spells, they always take either fireball or lightning bolt. So you really only pick from a giant list for their *other* 3rd level spell. That'd be needless. Having too many options just bogs down selection. [/QUOTE]
