[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7614941, member: 12731"] Regarding metamagic: Yes, the implementation is boring since you take Quicken and Twin and then you basically couldn't care less about the rest. But the notion you have too few metamagic points is entirely based on low-level play. Once you reach the higher levels, the number of Sorcery points explode. Why? Since you have a load of low-level slots you convert into SPs. You have more spell slots than you can use on average. My Sorcerer player [B]never[/B] ran out of Sorcery Points past a certain level (if I had to guess I would say level 12). Returning to the original point: The main reason Sorcerers are "closer than you think" is that a high level Sorcerer can burn through a truckload of Sorcery Points very quickly. The OP's points might also apply, but mainly the difference between a Sorcerer and a Wizard is spelled [I]twin[/I] and [I]quicken[/I]. That it ultimately is much more satisfying to play a Wizard, or that once you've played that awesome Red Draconic Sorcerer the class has little else going for it (talking about PHB content here), doesn't come into this.
