[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 1426840, member: 16739"] I've always assumed sorcerers do get their spells randomly (in the sense that the character doesn't pick them, but the player does). In this sense it's kind of like a superhero character. Usually the character doesn't decide to get, for example, electrical powers, but the player/GM picks them. So you as GM can just say "about 20% of all sorcerers get Magic Missile". And if all your players pick it, well they're just in that 20%. It will also increase the number of people who take the Still Spell feat (which is cool). Actually I think the supers comparison is valid. In a supers game, the vast majority of people don't have powers, but all the PCs do. You could run it like that. And maybe sorcerers (and bards) are the only arcane casters. There are ancient legends of tomes that can teach non-sorcerers to cast magic, but there are no wizards currently. Then the PCs could be the ones to re-discover this knowledge. [/QUOTE]
