"Spells: A sorcerer casts arcane spells. The number of spells a sorcerer knows is not affected by his Charisma bonus. The spells a sorcerer knows can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer and wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the sorcerer has gained some understanding of by study. "

based on that right there, would U, as a DM, allow a sorcerer to cast a divine-like spell after watching the party cleric or druid cast it repetatively?

the source for the above came from the Open Gaming Foundation SRD.

Let the firing squad begin.

Yes I would say that would allow a sorcerer to cast divine like spells...given a lil study....but then again I am a Lil biased considering I am the sorcerer in you campaign... ...yeehaa... The Awakened Dire Squirrel Sorcerer of Death has spoken...oh yeah....cringe in fear at my might!!!

I take that to mean that they can learn other spells by "researching" just as a Wizard can do. As a DM, it would depend on the sorceror and the spell.

 

[Caliber]

That provision is in place to allow Sorcerors to cast Arcane spells from other sources, as well as other Arcane spells that the DM may wish to introduce.

Does that mean the Sorceror can cast Cure spells? Sure, if the DM wants to design Arcane versions of them. Of course, this would mean the Wizard could too.

No, the Bard's Arcane Cure spells are not castable by Sorcerors either.

Personally, I like themed sorcerers. It makes sense for threm to get spells that are related. If the PC was doing something like that I would open up divine spells to them that would be cast as arcane spells.

All depends on the flavor of your campaign. If a sorceror in my campaign intently studied the actions of the group cleric and opted to learn one of her spells, I'd allow it- but possibly not without reprocussions if one day he suddenly begins drawing from the power of a god he offers nothing.

As far as I'm concerned, entering the realm of the divine without permission isn't that far off being Jack, shimmying up the beanstalk, and taking golden coins from sleeping giants. Profitable, and plottable.

Sure. As long as it's not a healing spell, no problem.

I might even allow a healing spell. It would depend on the party and what's going on with the campaign, though.

 

[AGGEMAM]

I wouldn't allow it under ANY circumstances.

I can see a Sorcerer studying someone casting a Divine spell over and over and then using his inherent magical ability to reproduce the spell with his own arcane energies...IMHO (although I don't really want to use any divine spells for my awakened squirrel...he has an inferiority complex and casts big destructive arcane spells to make himself appear more powerful than he really is...and he wants to rule the world to..Its easier to conquer with Fireballs than Cures... )
