[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6541335, member: 6689464"] Sorcerers are the only class allowed by raw to cast without noise and gestures, that's why it is their niche. And I say toys because my approach to magic is seeing magic as fun, as a chance to deviate from what is mundane or expected. Not as ultimate power, nor as a way to cause random destruction. Though in a way my only beef at 5e is the sorcerer class didn't get enough love, and it seems to rank so low in the designer's priorities, coupled with the added pressure from the bard and wizard classes, the class has very little going for it. My bad, sorry, just re-read the entry, subtle spell indeed only works for somatic and verbal components. I don't know why I thought that. And I don't know and I understand that each DM has the right to run their game however they want, but I seem to remember that class features had to have priority over anything else, making a feat/skill option that allowed any caster to cast in secrecy would infringe into the sorcerer niche, and as I said, it is a thin niche.
