[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6889628, member: 1465"] I haven't seen a Warlock in play so I can't really say anything reliable about that... except that to me on paper it looks more or less about the same complexity as Wizard or Sorcerer. I also did not have the impression that the Sorcerer is simpler than a Wizard... it might seem that a Wizard is more complicated because each day you have to choose the prepared spells, but IMXP most Wizard players keep something like 80% of their spell list fixed, and experiment with the remaining 20% or adapt to forecasts. IMHO a bigger complication I've seen in practice for Wizards, is to always keep an eye on what spells can be cast as [I]ritual[/I] to save daily slots if you're not in a rush. It's something that still gets forgotten frequently at our table. OTOH a Sorcerer (who doesn't cast rituals) has a not so easy choice with the spell points, between extra daily slots and metamagic. It's hard to tell because (a lot) more spells known to the Wizard make them more flexible and thus complicates the choice of which spells to prepare, while on the other hand Sorcerers have to be more careful about which spells they learn (tho this is difficulty rather than complexity).
