However, let's play this out. Give the Cavalier Carsomyr, and give the sorc the Robe of Vecna.
Cavalier- Attacks Sorceror
Sorceror- Casts Improved Alacrity
Sorceror- Casts Flame Arrow
Sorceror- Does (damage) to Cavalier
Sorceror- Casts Flame Arrow
Sorceror- Does (damage) to Cavalier
Sorceror- Casts Magic Missile
Sorceror- Does (damage) to Cavalier
Sorceror- Casts Power Word: Kill
Cavalier- Death
Winner- Sorceror
Sure, I see where you're coming from, InjaYew, and a cavalier with the Holy Avenger is fine against monsters, but I think, to judge two classes, we have to assume they'll be fighting each other. I think the only real tossup, when it comes to power, is Sorceror Versus Cleric/Mage. That, to me, is the only real question.

I'm actually not qualified to argue having never played a sorceror before. I've done a pure fighter, a cavalier, and now I'm a ranger\cleric. I usually like to play a battle mage type character so I can be ready for more varied situations. Next game I will probably try the sorceror since I've been reading more about them here. The magical characters take some thought, planning, and a good working knowledge of the spell book. I don't think I could have hacked it (no pun intended) as a purely magical character in the beginning. I might have a better chance at it now. I am curious though, how does one handle magic resistant beings like golems? (I hope I haven't over-looked this on this thread. If I have, just ignore me.
