[QUOTE="oreofox, post: 7917010, member: 6776240"] Wizard losing bonus feats that could be metamagic or item creation feats in 3e means nothing. Sorcerer lost the ability to have a familiar unless they burn a feat for it to learn the Find Familiar spell. The wizard can still obtain a familiar without such. WotC hasn't known what exactly to do with the sorcerer since they first made it 20 years ago. The fact that it has been 15 years since they created it when they had the chance to really do something different in 5e that wasn't "wizard but worse" seems to show that WotC doesn't care for it. Sorcerers having metamagic seems like a bandaid fix to give sorcerer some sort of class ability besides Font of Magic. They seemed to care more about the warlock than they did the sorcerer. Warlock gets 6 things in the PHB to choose from (3 patrons, 3 pacts), while the sorcerer gets 2 (dragon and wild magic). Wizard gets 8. As stated earlier, sorcerer has 1 unique spell, while warlock and wizard have multiple. Sorcerers get 3 subclass features as they level (6, 14, 18), wizard also gets 3 (6, 10, 14).
