[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 1588727, member: 2167"] Well, while I love the previous post (Thanks for all the great comments!) and feel all warm and fuzzy from the praise (especially since I thought my creation died a while ago…), I will also add that the Sticky at the top of this thread “Links to Classes and Races in this forum” by [b][i]craftyrat[/i][/b] has the following list of alternate sorcerers that have appeared on the boards in the recent past. All of them are good in their own right, each with strengths, weaknesses and personal flavors.

I know a lot of people downloaded it but I have yet to see any actual playtest comments. This is one of my favorite lineages, along with the Gypsy and Tarot. I personally prefer the ones that are very campaign specific, very flavorful ones, versus the broadly generic ones such as draconic lineage. Keep in mind also, that while the document is quite long, the class itself is no longer than the existing class. All of the additional “Samples” of lineages and the 'Variant Rules' are what takes up the excess space. Also keep in mind that they are just “Samples” that were created to show the basic template for how lineages should be constructed. There are still other possibilities to be created, and not all listed possibilities may work for a given campaign. This is unfortunately too true. I have also noticed a few threads on the General Discussion board as well with people complaining that the only real use the Sorcerer sees, is as an NPC enemy spell hurler so that the DM has a vast arsenal of spells to cast at the party, and upon defeat doesn’t have to worry about the spellbook falling into the party Wizard’s hands. As Fieari states above, the biggest problem with the core Sorcerer is there is No incentive to remain in the class rather than taking any available “+1 level of existing caster class” oriented PrC.
