[QUOTE="Denaes, post: 2640335, member: 33738"] The Sorcerer shone pretty well in our group when we were trying to find some slave handlers. My Sorcerer was using magic to change his facial appearance to look like a potential slave buyer we had locked up at our place. I had to cast it a few times that night as we went to different places and cast a few charm spells. The Wizard of the party had Charm, but not the spell to alter your face and didn't have charm memorized and we were on a timeline with people being sold to creatures who ate humans, so we couldn't just keep stopping for a day and waiting. Situations came up multiple times like that were you need to do something now, and the Wizard wasn't ready. If I hadn't had the spells ready we would have had to do something stupid like fight our way through things. It's Anecdotal and some groups may [b]never[/b] have time sensitive events (it's a constant when I GM or play in games), but I think it at least goes a step further to break the stereotype that Sorcerers are only good in combat and only extended combats show their strengths. In our group, the Wizard was Mr Warspells and I was a bit more "sly". I think I did more damage in combat with illusionary magic than the Wizard did with his damage spells. Well, probobly not, but the illusionary magic was more helpful in and out of combat than the combat spells were. [/QUOTE]
