They don't have scales or tentacles or anything like that, which is exactly what the sorcerer bloodlines are suggesting.Harry Potter or Rand Al'thor would definitely be sorcerers when it comes to inborn power, but their 'theme' is much more wizardy, using their power through knowledge, rules, and experience.I'm in the group which really wants sorcerer to lean into the original DnDNext playtest vision, where the class has a 'become the monster' theme to it. But this utterly kills the vision of the class for probably the majority of players. Yennifer doesn't devolve into a chaos spawn after using too many spells.Even Gandalf, the archtypical 'wizard' has innate magical power. I can barely think of any example of a true dnd 'wizard' in fiction at all.</blockquote>
