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). | Sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons.

=== Natural Talent (Ex) === | |||
At 1st level, all characters receive two natural [[Natural Talent]] skills: one in their [[bailiwick skill]], and one in any other skill of their choice. ''Natural talent'' allows you to re-map a skill to use any ability score you wish, rather than the ability score it normally uses. You may not select a skill for ''natural talent'' that you cannot put ranks into (such as a bailiwick skill not available to your class). ''Natural talent'' skills never suffer an armor check penalty, even if the chosen ability modifier is STR or DEX. | |||
All characters receive an additional ''natural talent'' skill at levels 11, 21, and 31. Additional ''natural talents'' may also be gained through [[Character_Retraining#Gain_Natural_Talent_in_a_Skill|Character Retraining]]. | |||

===Spell Surge=== | ===Spell Surge=== | ||
Starting at 2nd 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. | Starting at 2nd level, whenever a sorcerer casts a spell, it targets one more enemy creature than normal.

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 like opening a long-forgotten door in their own house. | 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.

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. | In all cases, if a Bloodline and an Archaic Bloodline have powers which stack, they do NOT stack.
