[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9015935, member: 7034710"] Yes! Of course! the answer is to kill the sorcerer and give all it's toys to the wizard and make them even more powerful and versatile! wizard has grown too big for it's role, originally it was powerful but frail with slow progression and had a bunch of limitations on it's spellcasting, but people didn't like wizards having restrictions so every new edition they got stripped of more of their binds becoming the ultimate spellcaster. sorcerer has it's place, sorcerer i think should be THE blaster, channeling raw magic into the world and with it's metamagics to enhance their spells, whereas wizard, i think they should be utility casters, think about it, the classic theme of the wizard is an academic holled up in a library researching spells, it makes more sense to me that someone like that wouldn't be learning ice storm or melf's minute meteors but a whole bunch of fiddly intricate spells stuff like mould stone, fly, summoning, haste/slow, forcecage, oh sure they can have magic missile and fireball but how many ways do you really need to blast your enemies when you're chilling in your tower that you've enchanded 12 ways to sunday (you think a wizard would only be able to find 8 ways there?) and they'll likely be beaten long before they actually reach you?
