[QUOTE="Elderbrain, post: 7367098"] Sorcerer. Why? Metamagic, specifically Subtle Spell. There are a number of good Sorcerer spells that don't require material components, and Subtle Spell lets you cast them without Somatic or Verbal components, too! ("Use the Force, Luke!") Great if you're tied up or gagged and otherwise helpless, or want to pass as an non-spellcaster. The poor Wizard is up a creek without his spellbook - once he casts all his prepared spells, he can't prepare them again without the book, whereas the Sorcerer can be buck naked and sans all equipment and still prep his/her spells. (I've got a list of said spells that I'll post later, such as Magic Missile, Knock, Teleport, etc.) If you are a Divine Soul Sorcerer, even better, as many good Cleric spells have no material components, either... True, your choices are limited compared to a Wizard or Cleric, but with careful selection you can be effective - and once you learn Wish you've got all Eighth-level spells and lower or any class available on a limited basis (as often as you can cast Wish, which HEY! has no material components...:cool:) Also if you reach 20th level and the DM allows Epic Boons, there are two you can take which will boost the number of Wishes you can cast at a time up to three, if you take them both.
