[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 7666563, member: 6689464"] Well, there are some points you should take into account. [LIST] [*]Sorcerer is a full caster, but it is about the weakest full caster. Less hp (notice this) no ritual casting, and a limited spell list. Overpowering one is like overpowering a 3e bard, or a 3.x healer. [*]Medium armor is just not that good, and a human dragon sorcerer can still have that shield. [*]Did I mention the other simple weapons are more about aesthetics than real power? [*]Low HP! [*]Compare Favored soul with Valor Bard, they are mostly equivalent, the soul being more squishy and less offensive with weapons. [*]Only one domain includes healing, and it is the one that allows the sorcerer to be a surrogate cleric, one with less hp, no divine interrvention nor channel divinity. (and bards already do this) This is no better than starting with a bard dip. [*]The other domains have mostly wizard spells the sorcerer didn't get otherwise. Being mostly divinations (knowledge), Evocations (light), plant and animal stuff (nature), more evocations (tempest) and a few utilities the sorcerer wouldn't get otherwise (trickery) [/LIST] More like a white mage? It could be powerful, but I donn't think overpowered. A favored soul still needs to cast everything from slots, with no ritual casting to fall on. I really like how it opens the door to utility sorcerers. [/QUOTE]
