[QUOTE="GoodKingJayIII, post: 1244047, member: 13804"] Let's face it: the flavor and ideas behind this class are wonderful. But implementation is... poor (at least, in my opinion). In many ways, the wizard trumps the sorcerer, and as much as I love the sorcerer class, I see few reasons to actually pick it over the wizard. So, as many people have done, I'm going to revamp this thing and house rule it. I have ideas, but I'd love to see some suggestions for other abilities, etc. Here are some ideas I've been tossing around: -increase HD from d4 to d6 -possibly increase skill points to 4 + Int and/or add a few Charisma-based skills (specifically, Use Magic Device -Gain Detect Magic (Sp) at will, somewhere between 2nd and 6th level -Every 5th level, a Sorcerer's spells become as natural to cast as walking, talking, and thinking. At 5th level, a Sorcerer's 0- and 1st level spells become Spell-like abilities. At 10th, 2nd level spells become Spell-like abilities. At 15th, 3rd level spells, and at 20th 4th level spells. -Remove the Familiar ability. These are just some thoughts I'm having. Clearly, the most questionable is the change from spells to spell-like abilities. It fits flavor, and it's very cool, but I realize it could be way too powerful. What do you all think? Any other suggestions for abilities, changes, etc? [/QUOTE]
