At the moment the Sorcerer heritage we have seen modifies the following:- hit points and HD- armor proficiencies- weapon proficiencies- melee attacks damage (with transformation)- resistances (with transformation)and there is no reason to believe that there cannot also be effects on magic attacks bonus, spells DC, willpower, spells known etc. So there is a lot of room to create a lot of new heritages or variants of existing ones.Personally the only feature which makes me skeptic is the transformation itself. I'm not sure it is good that every sorcerer "transforms" although obviously the mechanic doesn't necessarily imply a visible transformation but only the insurgence of additional powers. This progressive mechanic is probably going to be present in all heritages.</blockquote>
