For most it is a social matter, but for spontaneous casters it also covers influence over one's surroundings (ie: over reality itself). Point of fact, as a house rule I use Cha for Will saves IMCs, as I think this better reflects the 'strength of personality / will' rather than serene, meditative, and perceptive wisdom. I use a different save (perception) with Wisdom, one that deals with disbelieving illusions and other matters of perception. Matters of strength of will: resisting fear, domination, charms, etc - I leave to the Will save, which, as I said, uses Cha. It makes more sense to me and those I game with. Also, I tend to think that a lot of spontaneous casters are poorly designed. I think if 3e were being designed today they would not have created / included the sorcerer, but instead would have created / included the warlock, perhaps with differing class specials on certain levels dependent upon the nature of the heritage (ie: DR vs cold iron instead of silver if of a fae heritage, for example) and a few dozen more invocations with some requiring one to be of this or that heritage (ie: celestial, faeish, draconic, aberrant, undead, etc invocations), with some invocations being heritage irrelevant. It would make building a 'sorcerer' more interesting and utterly unique compared to a wizard. Ah well, that's just my opinion. Somehow, if 4e comes out anytime in the next few years and if it in any manner notably resembles 3.5e, I can see the sorcerer either no longer existing in it or in some other manner being wholy replaced by the warlock.</blockquote>
