[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6322360, member: 6689464"] It is pretty clear that the wild surges will have to be checked each time you do something sorcery, that much I can assume, and from the table in the phb preview I get some effects can be dangerous or silly, a very specific kind of character. And of course it will be opt-in, but that doesn't mean much without options to fill the void. And yes, I don't know how the draconic sorcerer will be, but going for the track record of 4e and the playtest, the draconic bloodline is anything but subtle. Yes and no, It was spelled out at the beginning that some sorcerers claimed draconic heritage, and that it could be true but largely it wasn't possible to confirm and it was equally possible it was an empty boast to get prestige or a wicked rumour to malign sorcerers. Largely it was a matter of whether you wanted it to be true for your sorcerer or not, or you could just leave it unexplained and unexplored if it wasn't relevant to your character. The good thing it was largely a matter of how relevant you wanted it to be for your character, you weren't spontaneusly growing claws and scales every time you casted a spell, and if you wanted it to happen you could take feats to make it happen. Good for you, glad you can play your wild WIZARD homage, but it is bad for me it was at the cost of a versatile SORCERER. [/QUOTE]
