[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7538184, member: 12731"] First off, any spellcaster with a decent area attack spell can spike a load of damage. But I'm not talking about individual damage spikes (which can easily reach several hundred points of damage if you luck out). I'm talking about nova damage. The Sorcerer's ability to cast BOTH a regular spell (which must be said to be equal to the Wizard and Sorcerer) AND a twinned cantrip, means - for many campaigns - that a member of the class will always be welcome. (Yes, eventually you run out of Sorcery points, but that's not relevant for nova purposes. The only point made here is: if there's one particular monster that needs to die RIGHT NOW, future encounters be damned, few other classes can accomplish this faster) Again, I wasn't contesting any of what the OP said. I just wanted to put more emphasis on the nova damage aspect, as in, "yes, many people think the wizard is better, but since the sorcerer completely overshadows it [I]when it really matters*[/I], it's not all that bad." *) remember what style of campaign I'm talking about here.
