Elven favored class Sorcerer?

[Angcuru]

Actually, a sorcerer can bypass the whole lack of spells and gain a few more per day by taking a single level in wizard. This signifies that the character has discovered his/her innate magical ability, and has spent a bit of time studying magic to better understand it. So basically, you slow your sorcerer spell progression by a single level, but give yourself access to A LOT MORE spells, making you a REALLY bad-ass spellcaster. It's actually a bit munchkinny, but it works!

EDIT: Actually, It doesn't. Just checked the PHB.

Honestly, I think the Wu-Jen (from Oriental Adventures) is a much better fit than Wizard for elven magic.

Arcane spellcaster of equivalent power (9th-level spell at level 17), the Wu-Jen is caracterized by a heavy focus on elemental magic (i.e., primal nature magic) and several quirks and taboos that are necessary for him to gain his power. In exchange for these taboos, he gain a greater power in some of his spells, which are always affected by a metamagic feat, freely (without paying a higher slot). Wu-Jens can't be lawful.

This is what makes an elven magic elfish. Unpredictable, source of strange customs, and more primeval, more close to nature.

Still, it is a learned magic, and my elves learn their magic. Contrarily to dragons, titans, outsiders, or even gnomes, they aren't innately magical -- they just wish they would, and they makes everything they can to have other believe they are. They are attracted by magic like moths to flames; but moths aren't flames; and elves aren't magic.

(Similarily, my dwarves, lawful, clannish, and honor-bound, have the samurai class as a favored class rather than fighter. And this, despite my world not being an oriental one.)

Gez, that's an awesome idea. I'm definitely going to have to look into that. Especially with the dwarves.
