[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9015949, member: 63508"] Personally I always saw the Sorcerer as te D&D equivaalent of Marvel's mutants and DC's metahumans. Youget a suite of spells associated to your power. A Dragon sorcerer would get elemental, fear, and flight effects. A Shadow sorcerer would get necromancy and illusion spells. Sorta like domain spells. A sorcerer gets 1 domain spell list and gains new lists as they level up and evolve. The number one thing I always though sorcerer should be able to pull magic they don't know/prepare out the Aether/Weave at a higher cost. You are a dragon sorcerer and don't have Wall of Fire prepped. Well you tap into your fire magic and cast Wall of Fire. The issue with D&D and most TTRPGs is that once ideas lock in, it is hard for the community to input new ideas without using the old mechanics. The sorcerer is 23 years old but still using 50 year old magic that don't match the lore and 23 year old metamagic made for the wizard.. [/QUOTE]
