[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8795209, member: 93670"] I suspect the same. Going by the wording of elements that we have in the packet and what sorcerer has had in the past I wouldn't be surprised to see some of this for the sorcerer: [LIST] [*]May go back to being con based as it was in at least part of Next [*]Will follow a similar flex-vancian style of prep that bard & ranger uses [LIST] [*]possibly with a wider (or similarly narrowed) selection from the arcane list [/LIST] [*]The sorcerer will go back to having more spell slots [spoiler="ie this was their 3.5 progression for example of 'more'"] ——————— Spells per Day ——————————— 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 3 — — — — — — — — 4 — — — — — — — — 5 — — — — — — — — 6 3 — — — — — — — 6 4 — — — — — — — 6 5 3 — — — — — — 6 6 4 — — — — — — 6 6 5 3 — — — — — 6 6 6 4 — — — — — 6 6 6 5 3 — — — — 6 6 6 6 4 — — — — 6 6 6 6 5 3 — — — 6 6 6 6 6 4 — — — 6 6 6 6 6 5 3 — — 6 6 6 6 6 6 4 — — 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 3 — 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 4 — 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 3 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 4 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 [/spoiler] Or they will have the same number of prep slots with a bunch of sorcerery points each long rest that they can use to create slots [*]Will almost certainly shed the old learn 1 spell/level & just prep from the arcane list or a selection of it like bard& ranger do. [*]Be the home to swordmage & other gish flavored caster archetypes with dragon sorc & such following suit (especially if it's con based) [LIST] [*]This might go with a shift from 1/1 caster progression to 2/3 caster progression to make room in the class budget for more powerful bloodline themed abilities to fit those [/LIST] [/LIST] The wizard: [LIST] [*]Might have a different spellbook growth to limit dip power since [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells?filter-class=0&filter-class=8&filter-search=&filter-level=1&filter-verbal=&filter-somatic=&filter-material=&filter-concentration=&filter-ritual=t&filter-sub-class=']so many [/URL]ritual spells are first level (ie start with 2-5 in spellbook & gain 3/level with some archetypes giving school or theme based spells on top) [LIST] [*]or that will be similar to now but there will be much better guidance on ensuring scrolls spellbooks & places to copy spells from [/LIST] [*]Will have spell slot numbers & progression similar to they have now [*]Will have a quantum or semiquantum spellbook where much if not all of the spells within are always considered prepared [*]Will be fragile & squishy again to a meaningful degree either directly or via other system changes that seem likely [*]Will be the home of pure caster type archetypes that already tend to lean towards wizards [LIST] [*]Those archetypes are likely to bring more oomph to spells within their niche that is made available by rebalancing existing & often borked spells as we've seen a couple examples of already. [/LIST] [/LIST] Warlock & priest group I have no guesses on yet. [/QUOTE]
