Does anyone notice that they are
casting the same limited number of
mage spells all the time anyway?
Maybe a sorcerer is worth a shot.

Slayer supreme of millions,
Of monsters and villians.
Rest is only for the weak,
Casting spells for weeks.
Enough power to destroy all,
Raise Hell and stand tall!
Enemies will all respect you,
Respect you oh so true.

I cooked this up in five minutes, I am sure someone else can do better.

S-Stuck with the same 5 spells per level
O-Only can be a single classed spellcaster
R-Rotten combat values unless you waste a slot on Tenser
C-Can't use one withouth a backup mage with spells your sorc will never know
E-Everyone thinks they are so cool.
R-Requires no strategy other than in initial spell selection
O-Only if people knew that wild mages were so much cooler.
R-Really, I'm just kidding, I like sorcerors too, but I like wild mages better.

How's that Dundee?

S-Screw proper memorisation, just blast them with spells.
O-Obscene amount of casting ability.
R-Rarely gets in a sticky situation if properly planned and played.
C-Can cast Dragon's Breath six times.
E-Enough firepower to put Jon Irenicus to shame.
R-Regarded as one of the Top3 kits to solo with( After Kensai/Mage and Assassin).
E-Everybody should love Sorcerers, because they are cool.
R-Relax, to each his own.



PS: It's Sorcerer, not Sorceror.

If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Paladin meting out justice. Otherwise, I think I will just be a bard and torture my enemies with, "My Heart Will Go On".

S-Sorry I spelled Sorcerer wrong the first time
0-Overpowered spellcasting; good for powerplayers, but not for roleplayers
R-Really takes away the challenge to being a spellcaster.
C-Can't import from BG1 in order to roleplay a continuous storyline
E-Everybody has their own opinon though
R-Rather stick to the 2nd ed. AD&D rules (as that's how I learned the game)
E-Eventually plan to play one myself because I do agree to their coolness.
R-Responding only because I'm a smart ass.

I especially like my sorceror to have the robe of vecna so he can cast so much faster than a mage. I also like selecting so many spells before the game starts. Having the sorceror being able to cast from scrolls makes up for the lack of spells IMHO.

S-Starvid remember, your character is a half-God.
O-Overall a good spell caster with some limitations.
R-Realise that being a Sorcerer is the pinnacle of spell-casting.
C-Create your own background story then, that is what RPing is all about.
E-Even though they claim 2nd Ed rules, BI actually uses a modified version.
R-Really though, in the end, it is all about having fun in the game.
E-Embroiled as I am about the Sorcerer, I understand others have other opinions.
R-Regardless, I will still promote them with spunk.



My eventual goal is to join the ranks of the rare few who solo with a Sorcerer.
