Gestalt Campaign Idea - Everyone's a sorcerer

[Dark Psion]

Everyone is a Sorcerer?

I think it is called Final Fantasy.

This post brings up a major point. For most NPC's they will not be able to use first level spells and a large number 40 to 50% of the population would not be able to use even 0 level spells. As the power of the spell goes up the number of people who can cast them declines.

For some races this means dificulties. Dwarves for example are going to have a lot fewer people able to make use of the gift.

However it helps that with Charisma 10 you can at least cast the cantrips, and therefore if you get higher-level slots from levelling up you still won't waste them (although they would be suboptimally used even with metamagic).

You may introduce a house rules for characters with Charisma 9 or less (for example, by default they all know 1 spell and can cast it 1/day) if you really want EVERYONE to cast sorcerer spells.

Otherwise, you may consider the possibility to use Int or Wis to cast them.
