[QUOTE="emoplato, post: 5790038, member: 97812"] On a base fundamental level they are suppose to be equal if not in favor to the sorcerer, but in practice the wizard comes out on top if they are resourceful. In play, because even in core, a wizard can get and even make items that replicate much of the advantages of a sorcerer not to mention some of the other prestige classes while still easily having a larger repertoire. A sorcerer on the other hand is left having to look for odd and/or high cost metamagic abilities with just the right spells in order to have an edge over a well done wizard while having less room for them. I really don't like the change, the fact is let the Warlock have his ultimate reliability advantage the game still needs a full spontaneous caster. First, I say a wizard shouldn't get a familiar, they have enough bonus feats they can get one if they want one. Second, a sorcerer is by its theme are much more "free-spirited" and enigmatic I would say that sorcerer should be able at certain levels be able to select a spell from any list they desire and may treat it at as an arcane spell added to their list known. I also say that they should get diplomacy and UMD. [/QUOTE]
