Revision as of 00:54, 19 December 2019
Description: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories - just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons.
Alignment restrictions: none
Hit die: d4
Proficiencies: armor (robes), weapons (simple)

Prestige class tips
- Sorcerers are ideally suited to becoming red dragon disciples.
- Non-good sorcerers may want to consider becoming a pale master. Though less useful to the sorcerer than to the wizard, this class provides many useful defensive abilities.
Notes
- Sorcerers receive spells one level later than wizards. For example, to cast level 2 spells, wizard level 3 is sufficient while sorcerer level 4 is required.
- Sorcerers can wear armor without risking arcane spell failure if they choose the automatic still spell feats. In addition to the still spell feats, many sorcerers also take one or more levels as a blackguard or paladin to gain the armor proficiency (heavy) feat, as these classes have skills which take advantage of their already high charisma.
- "Sorcerer" was incorrectly translated to "Hexenmeister" (warlock) in the German version of the game.
