[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8787738, member: 87792"] If I had to fold two of the arcane casters into each other I'd fold [I]wizard[/I] into [I]sorcerer[/I]. Where a wizard was a specialist sorcerer whose two special things were (a) using Int and (b) preparing from books rather than being a spells known class. And as it's getting me cranky. [B]Other than the draconic bloodline D&D sorcerers are not and have never been bloodline based*. You're thinking of Pathfinder Sorcerers.[/B] D&D sorcerers [I]can[/I] be bloodline based. But a Shadow Sorcerer might also be a shadow sorcerer because they were born at the moment of the Grand Eclipse with all three moons lining up between the sun and the planet. Or they might be shadow sorcerers because they blundered into the Shadowfell and survived there for years and had it seep into their bones. Or any of a dozen other reasons. The wizard studied for their spells. The warlock bargained for them. The bard probably practiced for them. The sorcerer? Got lucky - or none of the above. * Although draconic bloodline was the only suggestion offered in 3.0/3.5. There are reasons I find its fluff highly unimpressive. [/QUOTE]
