If you take appropriate metamagic feats you can decrease the number of known straight-damage spells a lot and pick up different spells for much more versatility.My current sorceress only knows magic missile and fireball, and she's 14th level. Admittedly she's also an Incantatrix (which gets a few bonus metamagic feats), but she's kind of extreme in keeping her number of damage spells low.Feats that help "multiply" the effectiveness of damage spells are:Empower SpellMaximize SpellHeighten Spell (not much)Energy SubstitutionEnergy AdmixtureRepeat SpellTwin SpellChain SpellSculpt SpellWiden SpellWith at least a couple of these feats in one's repertoire you can live with only a few damage spells and save other known spells for lots of tricks that a Warmage simply has no chance of.Ergo... don't compare the Warmage with a Sorcerer whoso all spells are offensive spells, or offensive + defensive. The Sorcerer has much more he can do (including during a fight).</blockquote>
