[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2638910, member: 2011"] You are wrong. They mean two different things. I think your problem with them is that since they both deal with change, you think they mean the same thing. They do not. It's like the word periodically. People often think it means occasionally or sporadically. It does not. It means on a regular basis. But, people misuse it a lot. Just like people here are misusing the word flexible. If you are flexible, you can adapt. If you are versatile, you can do many things. Just because change is involved with both of these does not mean that it is the same type of change. In the case of the flexible Sorcerer, it is his ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. In the case of the versatile Wizard, it is his ability to change slowly to changing circumstances, but to often eventually have available exactly what he needs. Perhaps. Perhaps not. Like I mentioned earlier, the game is not played in a vacuum. There are other PCs and NPC allies involved. Just because the Sorcerer does not have Teleport does not mean that some other PC or NPC ally does not. And, just because the Wizard can EVENTUALLY teleport (i.e. in 15 minutes or the next day) does not mean that he is capable of handling the current situation. If you need Teleport and you need it NOW, it matters not a whit that the Wizard has it in his spellbook if he does not have it memorized. [/QUOTE]
