[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 8552113, member: 20323"] I love the flavor text for the [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/sorcerer']sorcerer[/URL] in the PHB. Every time I've read it, I get such an evocative picture painted in my mind of what the class is all about. But, for me, the mechanics [I]look[/I] like just another wizard variant. I'd have to play a 5e sorcerer to be sure, but I have played a 5e wizard briefly, and seen a couple sorcerers in play by others. The mechanics of that playtest sorcerer were interesting... "the more magic you use, the more your true self is revealed" ...but I do think they lean towards more [I]monstrous [/I]interpretations of the sorcerer coming from a lineage of dragons or, like someone mentioned above, vampires or werewolves. I think that's an interesting mechanic, but for me it does not align with that wonderful prose description in the PHB either. [/QUOTE]
