[QUOTE="DarkMaster, post: 1383901, member: 16362"] Floating disk for a sorcerer? Like I said before the sorcerer is the arcane caster that you want to have with you while adventuring, the wizard is more a intellectual, research type of guy. I work in software development and I could compare the sorcerer as the private developer that works in the real world and produce software for real client with real money involved, the wizard is more the Ph.D guy who research all kind of useless weird stuff at university. He knows much better about magic but when it comes time to actually work under pressure and produce stable design he sucks. They always have to weird concept that works very well in their environement but when their applyed to production they fail miserably. The sorcerer knows fireball, he knows it works, he use it, he got results, why bother. The wizard knows the spell but might use something else because he didn't study today or because he wants to try something new (I have such a wide selection of spell why not try them all) he is not very good under pressure(:):):):) didn't study that spell, give me 15 minutes and I will be back. But we need it NOW!!!). Wizard are good for researching new spell and new magic object. They are greatly needed otherwise magic would not evolve. It works 95% of the time (especially with metamagic) why bother As for the bonus feat mostly used for item creation, which the sorcerer is not made for. Depends, the sorcerer in my group seems to have more fun putting asleep 10 orcs and saving the party then researching Tenser's floating disk, guess it is a matter of taste. [/QUOTE]
