[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 899683, member: 7211"] Trading Familiar for a feat is a good trade, good as in not-overpowered, but in some games, about equal. As far as giving the Sor metamagic feats every 5 levels you are opening a whole bag of worms. Part of the balance between the wizard and the sorceror is done on a wealth basis (I admit, a poor way to balance classes). To make an effective wizard, it is usually important to have a stocked spell-book or 2. The rules make it very pricey to write into spell-books. Sorcerors do not have this limitation. Hence, a sorceror of any level should have more gold to spend on items than a wizard. By giving sorcerors the feats, you are tipping the balance towards sorcerors, which can be a fine thing if, for instance, you've never seen anyone try and play one. Just be aware that many people consider the classes balanced with regards to each other right now, the biggest problem with the sorceror is her lack of flavor and options (other than picking spells).
