Message: <blockquote data-quote="cwhs01" data-source="post: 2704074" data-attributes="member: 18388">partly due to a question on another thread I've been thinking about the sorceror spell lists. I think it's anoying, wrong and not really necessary flavourwise for wizards and sorcerors to share spell lists. If anyone has considered this question before (i presume so), please point me towards any relevant threads dealing with the subject.but anyway.The spells of the two classes are arcane in nature, but one, wizards comes from learning, tuition and study while the other is inate and untrained. Or at least thats how i see the two classes. Blood versus books. But the spell lists are the same for the two classes. The reason is, presumably that its easier that way to balance the two classes. But i still think, that for reasons of flavour alone, playing up the draconic heritage that is sometimes used to explain the sorc powers, the sorceror should have its own spell list. Granted, it would include alot, even most, of what the wizard has access to. But i think also some spells from druid and cleric spell lists should be included.I was thinking that the list should focus on selfreliance (buff and cure spells) and elemental atunement (blast/protection spells with earth/air/water/fire descriptors). Summoning spells (possible including SNA) is also a strong candidate. What shouldnt be included is any spells dependent on alignment, direct connection to a god (eg. clerical divination spells and Prayer, Bless and Aid), and a limit on general utility spells.There is no good reason that a sorc has acces to hold portal/detect secret doors/arcane lock. presumably his draconic ancestors would have little need for opening doors, and i don't find these spells to actually improve the flavour of the sorc class. It's just the easiest solution, having one spell lists for the two classes. IMO not a good reason.Give me your thoughts on the subject</blockquote>
