Class: Sorcerer

The sorcerer is the most powerful of the ranged attackers. While capable of casting spells quickly and possessing more spell points than wizards, the sorcerer also prepares fewer spells than their arcane counterparts. A sorcerer can also repair warforged characters using magic.

  • Lack of armor and combat training makes the sorcerer difficult for solo play
  • Sorcerers have the most powerful offensive spells
  • Capable of readying fewer spells than the Wizard, but able to cast them more frequently
  • Innate magic enables them to cast spells without memorizing them in advance
  • Can learn meta-magic feats and enhancements that bolster her arcane spells
  • Can summon creatures to fight for them
  • Proficient with all simple weapons
  • No armor proficiencies
  • High charisma score gives them an edge when dealing with NPCs using skills such as diplomacy, bluff, haggle or intimidation
  • No alignment restriction


Recommended Attributes: Charisma

Sorcerers create magic the way a poet creates poems, with inborn talent honed by practice. They have no books, no mentors, no theories - just raw power that they direct at will. Some sorcerers claim that the blood of dragons course through their veins. Sorcerers often have very good looks, usually with a touch of the exotic, that hints at an unusual heritage.
