I'm sorry to all you sorcerers out there, but wizards are SO MUCH BETTER! For one thing, their key stat is Intelligence, which gets you extra skill points. What does the sorcerers Charisma get you? An extra 100GP every time you complete a quest and colect your paycheck? Whoop-de-doo. For another, wizards sure get higher level spells a turn sooner. Sure, you cant cast them as often, but I have no problem resting for a minute between meteor storms. Finally, you get the variety of all the spells in your spellbook (which, if you diligently copy scrolls, is nearly every spell in the game). This is a huge advantage: if you know what your up against, you always have the spell there weak to. If your going up against an opponent with high spell resitance, easy, switch to enchantment spells. Need to identify something? Dump a spell memorixe identify, cast it, and replace it with somehing usefull. Hard lock to pick?Memorize cats grace four times, rest, cast them all pick the lock, and replace them. Not sure if a spell will work out well? Try it out a couple of times, then replace it with a sure thing. Sorcerers will only get to use 25% of the spells in the game, and wheres the fun in that?

Ohh, and wizards get free metamagic feats! [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]
