[QUOTE="Afrodyte, post: 1380895, member: 8713"] For one thing, UA suggests that you don't use the class variants alongside the PHB classes for the exact same reason (or something close to that). As far as domain wizards, I actually think the idea works better for sorcerers. It fits better flavor-wise to have a spontaneous caster with an affinity for particular spell types (say, for a particular element or for a particular type of effect) than one who is just in tune with all things magical. So, you don't get a sorcerer with a few spells completely unrelated to each other. You get Simon the Seer or Pyro, Master of Flame (and his brother Ajex, Prince of the Power of Air) or Gladys, Queen of Hearts. In addition, that makes it easier to justify things like better HD and a few more skills and skill points to represent the worldly skills that are developed alongside the sorcerer's gift considering how limited their options are magic-wise.
