[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2956229, member: 29014"] Are you saying that the current Sorcerer would be balanced with a Sorcerer that can swap out its Spells Known each night for any spells in any book? Or perhaps a better analogy--would you let Wizards start off with every spell known in their spellbook? Why not? The fact that the Cleric has access to so many spells is highly significant, especially when you start seeing corner-case spells. Fighting the ooze king? Prep some corner spell that does extra damage to oozes. On the Plane of Shadow? Prep a spell that lets you control shadows and shadow creatures. Even if each of the spells is of equivalent power, presumably the spells are different from each other, and so you've increased versatility. By giving a huge list (and take your argument one step further and say we gave the Cleric access to every spell made in any supplement by any company, ever, assuming they are each balanced), you increase the power substantially (Assuming the player is diligent enough to find the optimal spells, of course).
