[QUOTE="Rashak Mani, post: 1377411, member: 642"] Well another long time Sorceror reporting in... 13th lvl now. Wizards are great when you know what your going to face during the day... and in most of the games we play that doesn't happen that often. When the going gets tough the Sorceror outshines the Wizard easily I feel. Many monsters and creatures are immune or less vunerable to certain spells and a wizard would have at best a spell or two ready. If I have a useful spell I can cast it a ridiculous amount of times. I have cast empowered Magic Missile in a 5th lvl slot instead of 3rd lvl after depleting the lower levels badly. I don't know any Wizards capable of casting 8 Magic Missiles... half of them empowered. (yep... it was the best spell for the ocassion). In another ocassion we were expecting Drows... and we got anything but Drows thrown at us by the DM. It was horrid... and my sorceror just dished out spell after spell. Including multiple Walls of Force and two Summon 6. Now if your campaign has only one heavy encounter per day... then pick the wimpy wizard. Now if you require heavy magic use and less books... pick Sorceror... ;) [/QUOTE]
