[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7916316, member: 6920677"] No, because a Sorcerer and D&D as a system does not assume ‘uncultivated’ talent. A Sorcerer is not casting 9th level spells right after character creation, it takes time to develop one’s power, in any class. D&D believes in the 10,000 hour theory of mastery. I think I have been very clear, that while I like the 5e Sorcerer in play, I dislike aesthetically the fact the class is riven from the Wizard, and as has been expressed amply, in this 13 page thread, many people come at the classes with the Paradigm: [I]The Wizard is the boring guy with the book and the Sorcerer is Magic[/I]. This is a paradigm shift from before, and this narrow scope, [I]in my opinion[/I] hurts both classes. [B]but hey[/B], if you want to narrow down my statements to thinking I want the Wizard to be the ubermensch, and you [I]won[/I]...go for it. I hope it makes you feel better. Seriously I do.🤗 (Truly Irony free). [/QUOTE]
