I (and others) may have disagreed with your assessments but always with comments and reasons why. Your views just didn’t match the majority view of where the class was going which is probably why you felt dismissed even though the points were addressed.I understand, and have repeatedly stated, that not everyone can be pleased by a class design. There is NO such thing as the perfect class. People even attempt to re-write the most basic class in the game (the Fighter) because people can’t even agree on that class, much less something as controversial as the sorcerer.  On Genericism - This design build does include a generic Sorcerer. If people such as yourself wish to have only a generic sorcerer – they can use the unknown lineage template or the draconic lineage (etc.) - absorbing into the “core” write-up and all else dropped as options if that is what they really wished to do. That is why the class is built as it is. It allows customization ability but in the design principle of a simple class design.  This same basic premise is used in Arcana Unearthed with the Witch and Totem Warrior classes. You are of course welcome to write your own version. As I have said in the past, you wouldn’t be the 1st nor the last.As for the length of the base class write-up… in actuality, if you compare the two write-ups from “Class Features” onward (not including the table and flavor text and skills), the core class is (at about Size 8 font) 0.75 pages long or about 2 pages long with the full familiar sidebar information included.  The core material here is just under 1 page so it is, in fact just about the same length or shorter than the PHB material.The lineages are also not to be included in the core class write-up. They are an addendum addition, similar to Domains. The lineages are examples, and by no means exhaustive – also similar to domains, and can be expounded on at will by others.As for the length of the lineages… what is so complex about them? They are quite simple in design but I have attempted to make them clear and unambiguous unlike some of the PHB rules.Name: DescriptionBenefits:Special Limitations:Lineage Spells:Lineage Abilities: 8th, 14th, 20thHope that helps some.</blockquote>
