[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 612538, member: 6239"] I had thought about that. You could just increase the number of spells per theme to 2 or 3 or even 4 per level. But right now, a person picks the spells for their sorceror, so there will be a bias tword those spells we all think are "best", magic missle for example, and stay away from interesting but less useful spells like colorspray. Then domains could be constructed so that person can't get all the "best" spells at each level because they will be spread accross several "themes", too many for one sorceror to take. Also, this would allow for spells to be created with various different applications. For example, a second level spell that creates a floating torch flame, directed at will, for a decently long duration that can be used to attack. A good distraction, a weapon, and nice utility. It fits a fire theme nicely, but seems to be a bit too nice for a second level wizard spell. The sorceror, then, is all about how they can use it, rather than using a different spell. That seems to be one of the aspects of the class that many like now. [/QUOTE]
