About sorcerer

[BulletFaith]

i was surprised when i took a level in sorcerer and my character could only cast 2 spells a day. i was under the impression that wizard knew more spell but could cast less often a day then a sorcerer. in contrary , sorcerer know way less spell then a wizard but could cast those fewer spell more often a day.

do i have it wrong? what is the point of a sorcerer over a wizard in this game?

Wizards know more spells and can usually cast more often a day. Sorcerers know less spells but can augment them to be more powerful like twinning them, casting them as a bonus action etc. or not power them up and instead spend their points to regain more slots. Sorcerer subclasses are also more powerful in general. The advantage of sorcerer is also using charisma as their main spellcasting ability. Meaning you will be able to talk your way out of a lot of stuff. I would not say either is "better". Depends on a lot of stuff

Yes the concept changed in D&D5. In short:

- both: have the same amount of spell slots (max 4 per rank)
- wizard: can learn ALL spells by level up / scrolls
- sorc: can learn 1 spell / level and replace 1 old spell but also has sorc abilities like twin casting, draconic background gives base 13 ac (no need for mage armor), because basing on charisma he is also used for trading (better prices) and dialog skills

Ingame you can use the sorc for trading, dialog checks and dual casting haste on group member, especially if you have 2 fighter like classes. If you plan to use another group memeber for charisma related things the only pro point crumbles down to dual haste casting which is easily destroyed by enemy attacks (on tactician it seems every f*cker wants to disturb your concentration buffs asap).

1) You scale with CHA so if you care aobut persuation checks that's great.
2) Metamagic, for example you can get 2 spell casts per round.
3) Draconic bloodline is really strong, 13 AC, extra hitpoints and a bunch of damage to your chosen element.

But yeah Wizard absolutely is the more versatile caster. Especially in this game since you can swap around spells wihout having to rest.

But as far as pure blasting goes Sorcerer is better. Though if you just want to blast might as well go with Warlock.

Sorcerer twinned work really well, exp when you unlock slot 4 spell, even cleric has good twinned that you can't do on basic 5e

Edit: twinned also work with some scroll and equipment ability and easy to refill
