Metamagic for wizards not for sorcerers?

[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 7955103, member: 6689464"] On the other hand, there hasn't been a single edition with a sorcerer that couldn't use metamagic in some way. And having lived through the playtest and all of the communications it isn't as if metamagic was taken away from everybody and given to sorcerer, the designers gave up on metamagic early on, and metamagic is only in the game because they needed to give something to sorcerer. And sorcerer is only in the game because plan A (give everything to wizard under the name of Mage) fell through. I would start with the following changes. Hit dice goes to d2. Can't get Dex to AC without mage armor Can only have sage as a background Can only prepare proficiency bonus+INT spells Only one cantrip known. All metamagic spells have to be prepared as another spell and count towards the limit, even then, each metamagiced spell can only be used once and is then erased. So if you want to quicken a fireball, each quickening has to be prepared ahead of time and counts as a spell prepared for the day. No spell mastery That's because wizard is entirely uninspiring and this edition is all about presentation. [/QUOTE]
