[QUOTE="Telperion, post: 1562624, member: 15711"] RageWitch is an excellent PrC for Barbarian / Sorcerers. It's in the Sword&Sorcery Player's Guides. 1) In my opinion playing a Sorcerer is not about being the walking library that a Wizard is. IMO being a sorcerer is not about having lots of skill points. Granted: wizards don't get any more, but since their spell casting is tied to Intelligence they tend to have higher Intelligence scores than Sorcerers. Put to it shortly: sorcerers are primal forces, control and unleashing their inner power. I won't go into greater detail here, since I don't feel like copying half the book from the Player's Guide to Wizards, Bards and Sorcerers. There's some very good fluff in there. 2 - 3 ) Well, since I don't agree with your opinion on what sorcerers "should" be it would be all to easy to simply write: no, you are not correct. IMO playing a sorcerer is more about building a character with a theme than selecting a school of magic to study and master. Although there will be a great deal more min-maxing when creating a balanced sorcerer the theme of the character shows much more strongly as well. You probably don't see a hell-spawn sorcerer (no templates, feats, PrC's or anything like that required to qualify.
