[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6744489, member: 7006"] Yep. We know. You've brought this up many times before. But right now the question is [i]What are you going to do about it?[/i] I mean, if you just want to keep bemoaning the sorcerer for bemoaning's sake, that's fine. Go right ahead. You're free to do so as often as you want. But I do wonder if perhaps there might be a more [i]constructive[/i] use of your time? I mean... have you reworked the sorcerer class to your liking? Have you looked at all the other sorcerer reworkings here on the boards? Have you talked with your DM about using the rules in the DMG to change or modify the class (which the game specifically says you *can* do) to create the kind of class you want to play? Because you can do it for your home game. You're allowed. Granted, if your ONLY chance to play D&D is the Adventurer's League... then yeah, you have to play the Sorcerer as presented. Or you have to suck it up and play your "hated Wizard" (that you've gone into many times in many different threads about how you'd rather chew ground glass than play) in order to get the stuff you want to use for this very specific spellcaster concept that you seem unwilling to deviate from. Or, you have to just accept this situation as a fait accompli and *not* play Adventurer's League and play Pathfinder Society instead (so you can play a Sorcerer more to your liking.) But you're not getting what you want from WotC ever. They made their design choice. They aren't going to "fix" things in the very [i]specific, narrow[/i] concept of sorcerer design that you seem incapable of moving on from. Sorry. It ain't happening. And thus... feel free to continue to make posts on this subject here on the boards as often as you'd like... and feel free to be prepared for the myriad of responses such as this one telling you that your hopes and dreams are not happening. Cause they're not. You're not going to get what you want from WotC. No matter how many times you post wishing it wasn't so. [/QUOTE]
