Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9314458" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Except we have already addressed this false point. A warlock cannot gain powers by being sucked into the Shadowfell, and suffering from magical radiation. A Shadow Sorcerer can. A warlock cannot gain powers by being struck with a drop of a God's blood, but this can absolutely be an origin for a Divine Soul Bloodline. A warlock cannot gain powers by being born in the arcane wastelands left behind by a great war, a Wild Magic sorcerer can. Sure, yeah, someone could make a pact, demand that their children get magical powers as part of this pact, and therefore a sorcerous bloodline is formed. That can happen. But that does not in any way mean that the lore of a Warlock who makes a pact with beings for power, binding themselves and their patron with contractual magic always and forever shares the exact same lore as a sorcerer born cursed or blessed with powers unasked for, and potentially of an unknown origin. Which can be fixed by making better mechanics for the sorcerer. Trust me, I have been an advocate for 10 years of giving the sorcerer better mechanics. But that does not mean that the best solution to throw away everything a sorcerer could be and just declare them all warlocks like that changes nothing. I made one. Didn't invalidate the Sorcerer at all. Because they are telling different stories. Just like the Ascendant Dragon Monk tells a different story than the Dragon Sorcerer which tells a different story than a Dragonborn character. So.Make.Better. Sorcerer. Mechanics. This is a far better and simpler solution than just throwing our hands up and declaring all sorcerers a pointless endeavor. And there would be no guarantee that the mechanics would still be bad.</blockquote>
