[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 1116775, member: 2629"] Most of the main comparrisons have been addressed, so I'll just go back to his original question: How can a sorcerer survive on just 4 spells. In my experience, sorcerers don't get stuck with just 4 spells. They have a small selection to begin with, but they expand their repetoire very quickly. They learn more spells known, but that is only a small portion of their expanded options. They can pick up metamagic feats to alter how some of their spells work. They can find or purchase scrolls or wands to allow them access to spells that do not already know. In no time at all, they have access to a huge number of spells. I've played a few sorcerers. Usually, my sorcerer is the only arcane spellcaster in a party. He gets bogged down with wands, scrolls and other items that only he can use. My current sorcerer, level 11, has over 100 different spells from which to choose. Some can be used only once (scrolls), but most of those will only be useful once in a long while. At very low levels, sorcerers feel limited, but by the time they get rolling into medium levels, they are not really limited by their spell selection. [/QUOTE]
