Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neonchameleon" data-source="post: 9142109" data-attributes="member: 87792">Yes, the Pathfinder sorcerer is conceptually bland. But Pathfinder is a different game from D&D 5e. The only 5e sorcerer subclass that is explicitly to do with ancestry is the Draconic Bloodline. Meanwhile the Aberrant Mind (as I have that tab open) is "An alien influence has wrapped its tendrils around your mind, giving you psionic power. You can now touch other minds with that power and alter the world around you by using it to control the magical energy of the multiverse." And the Storm Soul (unlike the Aberrant Mind) does allow for ancestors as an option but it is not the default one. "Your innate magic comes from the power of elemental air. Many with this power can trace their magic back to a near-death experience caused by the Great Rain, but perhaps you were born during a howling gale so powerful that folk still tell stories of it, or your lineage might include the influence of potent air creatures such as vaati or djinn. "Even in the PHB the it was only the Dragon sorcerer that was to do with magical ancestors. The Wild Soul was "Your innate magic comes from the wild forces of chaos that underlie the order of creation. You might have endured exposure to some form of raw magic, perhaps through a planar portal leading to Limbo, the Elemental Planes, or the mysterious Far Realm. Perhaps you were blessed by a powerful fey creature or marked by a demon. Or your magic could be a fluke of your birth, with no apparent cause or reason." There is not one single mention of your lineage in one of the two subclasses.There is almost nothing in the wizard's fluff that would put it out of line with being a 5e sorcerer subclass. The one that studies books and tomes. And ironically would be made more interesting by the contrast to the other sorcerer subclasses.No they aren't. Warlock is closer to cleric.Edit: And as for the wizard having the boring subclasses - no that's not because things are siloed away. It's because they (a) got there first and (b) insist on having the ability to cast all spells, and knowing ludicrous numbers of them, eating the power budget.</blockquote>
