Message: <blockquote data-quote="trav_laney" data-source="post: 3224502" data-attributes="member: 46508">I wanted to make the sorcerer a little more feral and combat-oriented and less magical.  In my head, sorcerers have always been the more primitive and aggressive of the arcane spellcasters.I forgot to mention that in my campaign, sorcerers choose at 1st level whether to call a familiar or obtain an animal companion (druid level = 1/2 sorc level).  This variant also came out of Unearthed Arcana, I think.If I were going to boost the sorcerer even more, I wouldn't do it with bonus feats...I would give them the ability to cast spells in light armor without penalty, like a bard.  That would fit my idiom a little better...but it would become a power balance issue at higher levels when magical armor is more common.  I still haven't made up my mind on this...so for now, the answer is "no."Now I am trying to make the wizard into the exact opposite of that...an intelligent, highly-educated student of magic, who has a well-disciplined and methodical approach to his art.  As they are written in the SRD, the only major difference between the Sorc and Wiz is the way they cast spells.  I admit that *is* a big difference, but I want it to be more.</blockquote>
