[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 5999740, member: 47533"] I feel weird about this sorcerer too. Mechanically it's very interesting, as it reminds me of 4e Essentials Barbarian who would switch roles mid fight. Fluff-wise, it's weird because not even the warlock seem as flavor heavy as the sorcerer. I understand and accept everything they say in its description as what a sorcerer is, but it feels like extra luggage you don't need for a base class. Or maybe it's just the flavor *in this particular build* that is too strong. Then why not showcase another, less intense, bloodline? Well, there's no other more iconic sorcerer bloodline, is it? Wild magic is cool and all, but dragon magic is much more popular, IMO. And to be honest, I think this is the best way to show how powerful and untamed the dragon's blood is. Other bloodlines need not be so "vulgar". Perhaps, like wizards, we need to see a sorcerer with a bit less fluff. Or they must offer so many different bloodlines that they confuse our perception of fluff in the class. You don't associate the entire fighter class with one single style, even though you're not just "a fighter" anymore, you're a "duelist fighter". This is even more pronounced in what they are doing with the cleric and all different deities/domains - it's like there's no base cleric to draw from. [/QUOTE]
