[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9353948, member: 93670"] No. Your descriptions are not quite right & obfuscating that by comparing oranges to socket wrenches. That description of [I]how wizards play[/I] isn't bad if you include 3.x where wands and scrolls played a notable role. For 5e though you are projecting wants & assumptions that don't flesh out in actual play. With 5e "[URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P459wTB9NMs&t=1376s']having this massive [spell] list that no one else has[/URL]" is the wizard's identity. [B]Unfortunately the very next thing crawford said there about protecting that identity was never done in 2014 when they gave basically the entire wizard spell list to sorcerers [/B] Your description of the sorcerer identity is entirely unrelated to anything in play or mechanics though becausethey don't have a [I]meaningfully[/I] limited spell pool they have the exact sa,e spell slorts & spell progression & your comparison somewhat depends on an assumprion/implication that wizards are swapping out prepared spells regularly. We are talking about class design & how their mechanics result in being played in an indistinguishable way at the table not writing a novel where "imagination" rather than mechanical design is the deciding factor.
