But arcane magic and divine magic are also much more different than arcane magic and psioncs (even though the way they use powers is very different to spellcasting, the endresults are not).Hard to say... let's assume the Spell Merging is metamagic and thus available to the wizard as well. He has all the important advantages as before, just that the sorcerer is on par with spell levels all the time, not just half and has quicker access to his flexibility, altho no higher flexibility in the end.Currently I prefer the sorcerer over the wizard in general, only because of the spontaneous casting. I don't think this version (under above assumption) would prevent me from playing wizards. They are still very different.The above sorcerer is not that much better than a wizard. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Better, yes. I'm quite sure he is (much like the psion).Correct. This is exactly, what I am saying.This class here is partially a statement about the whole issue.Look up my thread in the rules forum and use the link to the summary in the initial post. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />That's good or not? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That reasoning assumes an equal starting point, tho.The main question (between wizard and sorcerer / wizard and psion) is, "how much is spontaneous casting worth compared to preparation and 'unlimited' spell knowledge." That's very campaign-dependant, also.Anyways, try comparing without that pretty broken spell merging ability (that's more meant as a point of criticism with the psion to show how powerful the psions PP system is, really), not even as metamagic it would still by far favor the sorcerer. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I don't think the difference is so bad then, as this doesn't take away anything from the wizard's main ability. I think the sorcerer is more powerful than, but that advantage is mostly apparant at the low-mid levels (where the sorcerer is really tough to play and also boring), at higher levels the above is almost no difference.ByeThanee</blockquote>
