Talk about overpowered! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that the unbalancing aspect here isn't the fact that the sorceror is able to sling spells without disruption... it's the ridiculously stacking bonuses that are part of the system.ciaran"This is simple to handle.  Unlike Wizards and other spellcasting types Sorcerers draw the power from within rather than harness existing magical energies.  So, for sorcerers casting spells is more like a "spell-like" ability.  I would simply go back to old school AD&D and make is so that armor hampers the ability of the magic to flow from the body and being of the Sorcerer to effect his target.  A sorcerer casting Magic Missile at someone while the sorcerer in question is wearing armor would be akin to shooting at someone behind bulletproof glass.  The magic is flowing but something is in the way.  The Wizard can get away with it because the magic isn't coming from within him but from around him.  Simply put, make it so Sorcerers are unable to cast spells while wearing armor of any kind.</blockquote>
