Message: <blockquote data-quote="Barolo" data-source="post: 7708995" data-attributes="member: 61932">If we are to compare the lore master with the sorcerer and the lore master has to burn up spell slots to use some of their "metamagics" while the sorcerer uses either their sorcery pool or burn spell slots, then it seemed to me relevant to try to gauge the cost that each option represents. It can be an error of mine to try to do that while not scrutinizing the rest of both classes abilities, but I guess it is still fair, as spell slots at least seem to have similar worthiness for everybody, as hinted by multiclass rules. Wouldn't in reality the conversion from spell slots to sorcery points be the inefficient one, while on the other direction the costs are "right"? The optional spell point rules from the DMG follow the same pattern as slot creation from the sorcerer "font of magic" feature, which seems to back up my position.And I should beg, don't be at a loss. I never suggested the wizard should get sorcery points, if it seemed that way, I am sorry, my fault in communication.I am not sure I got your point here.I don't know what is your dilemma. What I know is that more often than not the wizard subclasses are praised, and this is yet another wizard subclass. It is more flexible in the way it uses its benefits than the other traditions, which are specializations and so it seems to make sense, but some of these new benefits come at a cost, namely spell slots, in a similar way as to how sorcerers expend sorcery points to activate metamagics. And that last feature (with its subsequent comparisons) is what I was trying to address.</blockquote>
