[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 8131743, member: 6689464"] However, small is relative, is getting one or two spells known too much to ask? Some leeway to have room to make mistakes and perhaps have some fun? The class is very hard to use as it is. The sorcerer has an unfortunate story of being experimental almost every time. With every edition putting a lot of excessive restraints on it to prevent it from being overpowered. These restraints always end up being too much and only a few of them get eventually removed, but later developments only prove that they weren't even needed. The end result is that it is unnecessarily gimped every time. Honestly, being prevented from having any boost to playability without wizard players somehow ruining it helps nothing to this situation and is getting old. (Seriously this is not the first time sorcerer players can't get something nice because wizard players can't see us get anything without throwing a tantrum. Just having the class at all was a huge accomplishment because if it were up to them there wouldn't be sorcerer or a warlock, we'd just have the wizard class pretending to be the be it all end all of spellcasters.)
