But as I try to take a look at the bigger picture, these new options considerably help non-spontaneous casters to get close to spontaneous casters' powers with these tactics, while nothing is being done to help the latter get close to the first in other regards. Perhaps sorcerers were the best class in 3.0 and I didn't notice.Anyway..... Beside my rants about the "schtik" of different classes, Sudden Metamagic is fine for me. Actually, if metamagic had always been "sudden" since the start of 3ed, it would have been much much better (of course, granted that Sorcerers would have been given other improvements).I don't instead like the Rods at all, because i seriously prefer these abilities to be given via character features and not equipment which, among other things, is usually too easy to replace or exchange with the others.Probably would have been hard... isn't it "Kamehameha"?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
