[QUOTE="Bitbrain, post: 7537244, member: 6863864"] *reads entirety of thread* Having played a Sorcerer up to 14th level, what they really need isn't more spells. It needs more sorcery points. Sorcerers aren't good blasters? *snorts* my very first 5e character was a sorcerer who doubled as both the party buffer and the blaster, and let me tell you, I was frighteningly effective in both roles. Is there a more difficult learning curve to the Sorcerer compared to the Wizard? Yes, absolutely. Until I reached 9th level I relied heavily on a Wand of Fireballs whenever I wanted to be the blaster. Keep in mind that it was my first time ever playing 5e, and that I had unintentionally picked the hardest class to master. After I advanced to 9th level, I had figured out the class mechanics and didn't need to rely on the wand nearly so much. The Sorcerer reads like a Specialist? Maybe I missed something when I first looked over the sorcerer, but I NEVER got the impression that the sorcerer was meant to be a specialist spellcaster. In fact, my impression has always been that it was meant to be a sort of bare-bones generalist spellcaster, while the wizard was the specialist. Seriously, the wizard sub-classes found in the Players Handbook are each focused on one of the eight "schools" of magic! [/QUOTE]
