==Description==
== Sorcerer ==
Holy Moses, the Sorcerer.  This class is so much awesome, we're in love with these guys.
Scions of innately magical bloodlines, the chosen of deities, the spawn of monsters, pawns of fate and destiny, or simply flukes of fickle magic, sorcerers look within themselves for arcane prowess and draw forth might few mortals can imagine. Emboldened by lives ever threatening to be consumed by their innate powers, these magic-touched souls endlessly indulge in and refine their mysterious abilities, gradually learning how to harness their birthright and coax forth ever greater arcane feats. Just as varied as these innately powerful spellcasters' abilities and inspirations are the ways in which they choose to utilize their gifts. While some seek to control their abilities through meditation and discipline, becoming masters of their fantastic birthright, others give in to their magic, letting it rule their lives with often explosive results. Regardless, sorcerers live and breathe that which other spellcasters devote their lives to mastering, and for them magic is more than a boon or a field of study; it is life itself.
 
If you want sheer, pure, unmitigated destructive firepower, you have to play a sorcerer.  You pick the right bloodline, and these guys can literally kill you by looking at you.  Or hell, by sneezing.
 
The Sorceror is more flexible, hits harder, and can keep going longer than ever. What's not to love?
 
So, if you want to take a crack at the original, and still best, damage dealer in the game, try a sorcerer. You will NOT regret it!


'''Role:''' Sorcerers excel at casting a selection of favored spells frequently, making them powerful battle mages. As they become familiar with a specific and ever-widening set of spells, sorcerers often discover new and versatile ways of making use of magics other spellcasters might overlook. Their bloodlines also grant them additional abilities, assuring that no two sorcerers are ever quite alike.

Sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor interferes with a sorcerer's gestures, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail (see Arcane Spells and Armor).

===Spell Surge===
Starting at second level, whenever a sorcerer casts a spell, it targets one more enemy creature than normal. If it is a single-target spell, when cast by a sorcerer, it targets two creatures.  If it is one creature per level, then a sorcerer adds one more to it.  Spell Surge has no effect on AOE spells or spells with a range of self, even if feats or other abilities are used to increase their range.  Note that all creatures to be targeted must be within range when the spell is cast, and in no case may a sorcerer affect a single target twice with this ability.  Damage should only be rolled once for all creatures successfully hit, unless the spell specifically states that each creature gets its own damage roll.

==Sorcerer Example Build==
For those who are non-expert in this class, or who are busy, or who simply don't want to spend hours digging around feats, here's an example build. Note: This is not a suggested build. Heck, it's probably even not very good. But what it WILL do is let you play without hours of investment, and it will perform more than adequately. If you want to tweak, feel free!

All sorcerers have some deep wellspring of power within them.  This is generally called their bloodline, the ancestral font of might which has driven many a Sorcerer to 20th level.
All sorcerers have some deep wellspring of power within them.  This is generally called their bloodline, the ancestral font of might which has driven many a Sorcerer to 20th level.


But a few Sorcerers will discover that their Bloodline, that well of endless power, is simply an echo of a far older, far deeper, and far more powerful sea of might.  This deep ocean of power is called the Archaic Blood, and for a few Sorcerers, tapping that vast ocean of power is seemingly as easy as falling off a log.

: A much simpler, faster, and usually more balanced approach is to modify an existing Bloodline.  It's not as if there is a shortage of ones to pick from.


: To use this recommended method, at 21st level, the Sorcerer should pick a second Bloodline, and designate it as their Archaic Blood.  This choice must be approved by the GM, and in theory should be a thematic 'fit' with the Bloodline power the Sorcerer chose at first level. All powers and abilities the new Bloodline grants are attained at levels as if the Epic Sorcerer was a Sorcerer twenty levels lower. However, Archaic Bloodline powers are more powerful than Bloodline powers, and all powers work at the Sorcerer's actual class level.  In addition, with GM approval, Archaic Blood powers and abilities receive an additional +1 to all numerical and play-impacting aspects of the Bloodline.

In all cases, if a Bloodline and an Archaic Bloodline have powers which stack, they do NOT stack.  Instead, the more potent ability overwrites the weaker ability.  Sorry all you power gamers out there.
