It's not a bad class, and it is definitely leagues better than the Monk and Ranger.I do get where the dissatisfaction comes from, though:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Sorcerer only really starts to shine at level 5+; until then, it is little more than a sub-par Wizard</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Sorcerer is cruelly denied some of the Wizard's best spells, such as Find Familiar, Flaming Sphere, and Wall of Force</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Sorcerer lacks versatility, with by far the lowest number of spell known / prepared of any full caster</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Sorcerer PHB subclasses are uninspiring (Draconic) or downright broken (Wild Magic)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Sorcerer is hard to build right. To be effective, the Sorcerer has to pick the right combination of metamagics and spells. The Sorcerer picks up 2 metamagics at level 3 and is stuck with them until level 10; if he picked poorly, the Sorcerer effectively loses its only advantage over Wizard</li> </ul></blockquote>
