Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bow_Seat" data-source="post: 5994865" data-attributes="member: 6698793">So for the past day or so I've been in and out of the sorcerers are better than wizards threads, and I have just notice something when comparing them that I didn't notice if anyone else noticed:The total spellpoints (willpower) that the sorcerer has per day is the same number as the weighted average of spells that the wizard can cast (weighted by spell level). So if you take a 3rd level wizard, who can cast:4 level 1 spells2 level 2 spells4*1 + 2*2 = 8notice now that the sorcerer has 8 spellpoints at level 3taking the level 5 wizard:4 level 1 spells3 level 2 spells2 level 3 spells4*1 + 3*2 + 2*3 = 16notice now that the sorcerer has 16 spellpoints at level 5What does the sorcerer have that the wizard does not?he can reallocate those spellpoints to effectively skew his spells per day chart, gaining more of one level of spell in exchange for another level of spell.he does not have to prepare the perfect selection of spells. All of his spells are available to him at any time (assuming he has the willpower)he is not subject to spell disruption, and can (I think) cast while magically or otherwise silencedthe sorcerer gains utility as he loses more of his willpower, but this cannot be done quickly, on a whim, and cannot be turned off (if ever there were some consequence to it)what does the wizard have that the sorcerer does not?he can learn new spells without gaining a level! if he doesn't want to give up the next level of spell to gain a lower level spell, that's cool he only has to buy a scroll.he learns higher level spells faster than the sorcerer. On even levels this is less of a factor, but he will still know more of that level than the sorcerer (least twice more, in fact)the wizard has better to hit rolls with his spell, and correspondingly also has high DC's for the spells that he casts on peopleWhat else is worth noting, but not putting up above, is that the sorcerer that was given to us has much higher hp and can wear armor, but since that is based upon his bloodline I didn't want to include it since we don't know what the wizard traditions are going to do.What do you guys think of this? has anyone playtested? I am unfortunately stuck out of the country for another 5 days.</blockquote>
