Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dausuul" data-source="post: 5833213" data-attributes="member: 58197">In 3E, the sorceror was a wizard with a variant casting mechanic.  Instead of preparing spells from a spellbook, you had a limited  selection of spells from which you got to choose at time of casting.  Aside from a few minor differences (sorcerors got more spells but were a  step behind in gaining access to new levels; used Charisma instead of  Intelligence; and cast metamagicked spells as full-round actions),  sorcerors were "wizards for people who don't like Vancian casting."In  4E, by contrast, the sorceror was a wholly separate class with its own  power list. They tended to be straight-up blasters without the wizard's  utility.Which would you prefer to see in 5E? Should the sorceror be essentially a wizard variant, or should it be a distinct class?</blockquote>
