[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9311469, member: 52734"] I feel like they didn't want to force players to be a sorcerer by being a "half-" whatever and the intent was to give options where the touch of something supernatural may have altered the character in some way so it is innate. The wording, unfortunately is muddled. "Not every sorcerer comes from a lineage with some sort of supernatural parent or ancestor. Often, all that is required is an encounter with a supernatural being or event where arcane magic coalesces with the soul of the sorcerer, allowing them to innately tap into a well-spring of inner magic. Perhaps the touch of fiendish interference, the blessing of a dryad that ties a newborn to the feywild or a genie opening the child's eyes to a channel to the elemental forces ignites such a spark, as can a drink from a mysterious fountain in the sorcerer's youth, an accidental (and momentary) trip to a highly magical outer plane or a brush with deitific forces that rubs off a glimmer of the power's portfolio into the essence of the sorcerer. These and many more events or encounters can allow the sorcerer to intrinsically tap into forces that allow the character to manipulate the forces of magic and reality directly, without need to research the arcane formulas of Wizards or bargain with other beings for their power as the Warlock."
