[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6570525, member: 6689464"] All but one of my sorcerers have had the opposite approach, why waste your magic for destructive purposes, which you can replicate just fine with weapons, when you could use it for truly fun and wonderous stuff? Changing size, enduring the elements, moving faster, creating illusions, summoning talking birds and shadowy ponies, there's just so much weird and fun stuff to do with magic to just limit yourself to one thousand ways to fry a kobold. I've always taken the chance to make a sorcerer's spell list an extension of her personality, always taking advantage of the basic proficiencies to carry the slack in combat -and those basic proficiencies reinforced the peasant nature of the sorcerer versus the privileged detached nature of wizards. To me those profs were part of the sorcerer identity, and without them the class feels incomplete as if it lost something important. [/QUOTE]
