[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 202195, member: 114"] Well, perfect for what? A sorcerer who wanted to specialise in fire would have a very different list to a battlemage sorcerer who wanted to have a wide spread of energy types available or a research sorcerer who was concerned with divination and similar magics or a sorcerer who concentrates on buffing up his companions. Do you have a particular target for "perfect" in mind? I would suggest that for many sorcerers spells with multiple uses are quite appropriate, to make sure that you overcome some of the limitations in having few spells known - but at what point do you get them? Alter Self is a great spell with many uses - but do you want to take it as your first 2nd level spell (at 4th level) or do you want to wait and take it later? When you reach 6th level, fireball, haste and dispel magic are all excellent choices... but which do you take as your first one? My 4th level sorcerer has shield/truestrike/magic missile /shatter - and these are a great combination for him, even if they wouldn't be useful for others. Cheers [/QUOTE]
