[QUOTE="DarkMaster, post: 1383331, member: 16362"] Actually less than a wizard cause most of the time he can cast it again to extend the duration as for the wizard he probably didn't study it twice. Therefore the wizard will have a tendency of not studying the spell unless he is absolutly certain that it will be needed. I house ruled that the sorcerer was getting extra metamagic feat like the wizard in my campaign. The sorcerer in the group took sthealty and put some skill points in cross class skill in hide and move silently and took the sthealth feat. After reading the various thread here I am tempted to give him 4 skill points per level and 2 bonus class skill. Back to my point The sorcerer is very often with the rogue and the ranger scouting in front. anytime there is a problem he can cast invisibility on all three or just on him or the ranger(the rogue is max out in hide and move silently). When the party is outdour often he used his owl to back up the sometimes too curious rogue, when things become dangerous, the owl with a precast invisibility dive on the rogue and make her disapear. I found the sorcerer much more of an adventurer arcane caster than the wizard. The sorcerer in my group doesn't care much about making magic object, he his optimised for adventuring, he has very few attack spell (that he uses in repetition with metamagic) and take a lot of utility spell. He often saves the party by casting utility spell on all the members, a very few wizards would study all their 2nd level slot with invisibility. When there is a major combat then he never have too worry with all the ray of enfeblement and lightning bolt (he only two offensive spell) he can cast he is a 6th level. Most of the time I found that wizard study useless spell just in case. Wizard usually finish the day with spell slot unused and the sorcerer in an adventure will usually have cast most of them. The other great thing about the sorcerer is that he doesn't need to study those spell, sleep 8 hours and he his ready for action again. Get caught by the enemy and the next morning he is as potent as ever. The wizard without a spell book is useless. Wizard are good for studying magic in their tower, Sorcerer are the real arcane adventurer. [/QUOTE]
