[QUOTE="ptrpete, post: 611134, member: 7125"] [b]Re: Re: This & that[/b] I couldn't agree more, the sorc should be more focused on willpower than learning. Right now it is just a variant wizard. I think sorcs should get some charisma skills INSTEAD of Knowledge (Arcana) and Spellcraft. How much training has a sorc done? None. He knows that if he wiggles his fingers in a certain way, a flame comes out. Knowlege of how/why spells work should be left to the wizard. Also they shouldn't have to use trivial components. Surely the power is inside them, they don't need to rely on external sources. But this is just a flavor issue, since it is assumed that wizards & sorcs have all their trivial components in their spell component pouch. I'm not sure about the larger hit die. Sure, its just 1/level, but sorcs are plenty powerful enough as it is. They don't need extra goodies, just different ones for better flavour. Very good idea. IME, the current eight schools seem arbitary to new players, just an extra option tacked on. Elemental schools would be easy to understand, and as you say add variety. Shadow magic vs light magic would also be a good split. [/QUOTE]
