[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 2881256, member: 14451"] Seriously, you are taking this whole thing way to seriously. Please melow out. Most of us are just trying to have a civil debate, but you are out for blood. Rreally now, chill out before your blood pressure sky rockets. Why are you so certain that everyone but you is wrong? It is not the blast by itself, it is the invocations that you add to the blast, like for example, the Vitriolic Blast Invocation. Now you 9d6 blast ignores spell resistance and deals acid damage and 2d6 acid damage on the following rounds. It does this for 1 round for every 5 levels you are. So what you might think, hmm, well let's see, round one Vitriolic Blast 9d6 acid damage Quickened Vitriolic Blast 9d6 acid damage total so far, 18d6 acid damage (which is the next best thing to force by the way) round 2 Vitriolic Blast 9d6 acid damage Quickened Vitriolic Blast 9d6 acid damage (why woudn't you take quicken spell like ability twice) 4d6 follow up acid from last round for up to 40d6 so far round 3 Vitriolic Blast 9d6 acid damage Tenacious Plague (summons magic pierce insects) 8d6 follow up acid from last round for up to 57d6 so far Now, of course a single disintergrate could possible do up to 40d6, but you have to hit and if they make their saving throw they take a lot less damage. Plus, while a wizard or a sorcerer might be able to do more damage in the short term, a warlock could do this all day and not even think twice about it. Even just the Vitriolic Blast would quickly outshine other spell caster cause you have no limit. I don't care who you are, you should always a limit on your power. Forget it, he is a lost cause. Too bad really, it sucks when you can't talk about issues. Anyway, I think sorcerers are very potent and agree that they are better in most situations than a wizard. I disagree that they are not broken however, and that is just my opinion. I think there are enough powerful spells at mid to high levels that just break a sorcerer. With the addition of the Meta-magic master from PHBII I think that they are even more broken, if not so before. [/QUOTE]
