D&D 5E Give Sorcerers their due!

Www

Have you actually played a sorcerer in a game, or are you raging in a vacuum?

Because that would kind of suck.

Welcome to the forums.

But I think you may have misinterpreted a couple things about the wizard.

This is an immense amount of anger for something so small. I promise, regardless of the name of the company, they do not gimp classes in order to make others look better. The sorcerer is a cool class, and if you want specifics I can certainly give them.

Wizards and Sorcerers have the same slots, and Wizards do not gain slots for int, just number prepared; even still, the Sorcerer always has more prepared, IIRC.

IIRC, wizards in 3e could cast the same spell more than once too. They just had to use up more of their daily allotment of spells per day (so less variety in spells for that day). I don't recall there ever being a rule that wizards could only cast each spell once.

The main difference I recall for sorcerers was that all of their spells shared the same pool of resources, so they didn't have to specifically prepare which spells they wanted to use ahead of time. So while a wizard with 4 level 3 spells per day would have to choose at the start of the day (for example) whether they wanted to cast dispel magic 1, 2, 3, or 4 times (at the expense of using other spells of the same level) a sorcerer could use whichever 3rd level spell they wanted to at the time of casting until they ran out of their allotment of 3rd level spells. Which is why they called it "spontaneous casting." Sorcerers also got fewer spells overall, though their flexibility in casting was supposed to make up for that.

3/10. Post count of "1" was a dead giveaway.

Eleven exclamation points.

Breath into a paper bag or something.
