He! You ae right! The games are Different and should be viewed like it. I guess I like 3:ed because it reminds me more of games I prefered to 2:nd ed.
Sorceres are a butt in a pain, to keep form going powergaming, but well I have been a DM and also player, playing a Sorcerer with high Charisma but since all players just go whining cause I cast so many fireballs or now just got disintegration.. i still whine cause i got a low Will save, so my character is as much a danger for my fellow friends when someone with charmpoewers come walking.
That way the game is balanced, but it also makes the Dm work harder to make suitable oppositions for the characters, so far the hardest fights have been against a couple of Assasins and some mages that had alot of invisibility potions and used backsatb and mindinfluencing spells. A level 13 fighter got killed instantly by a 4:th level spell Phantasmal killer. So the game makes for a tougher fight, but I takes alot of getting used too to!
