![]() They're envious of their "charisma," if you know what I mean. If a riddle requiring Knowledge (arcana) has a high DC, a Wizard will have a much higher chance of success than a Sorcerer of the same level would. Finally, there is the fact that there are other skills that may compete with the limited number of skill ranks available to both classes, such as Craft (Alchemy), Concentration, or for the Sorcerer, Bluff.Īll in all, a Wizard will have more ranks in those skills than a Sorcerer will, and also gets a larger bonus. And there are more magical branches of knowledge besides arcana, as well as the Decipher Script skill, which are class skills for a Wizard, but not a Sorcerer. Even Wisdom may be a higher priority for a combat oriented Sorcerer than Intelligence, just as Charisma may be a low priority for a Wizard.įurthermore, the number of ranks a character gets is based on Intelligence. True, but a Sorcerer's most important Stat is Charisma, while a Wizard's most important stat is Intelligence, which means that the average wizard is going to be better at those skills (being intelligence based) than the average sorcerer, especially given that the intelligence skill may not be a priority for a sorcerer, given the value of Dexterity and Constitution to a class that only gets d4 hit points and doesn't wear armor. That cannot be it for the general case: Sorcerers also have spellcraft and knowledge(arcana) as class skill. While the wizard might be able to solve the magical riddle preventing your party from venturing deeper into the ancient ruin, a sorcerer can stand before it just as clueless as the fighter if it's not just happen that one of his known spells can be used to blast through. They can cast those spell that came to them naturally, but they're not able to understand complex magic, solve magical problems or create new magic due to their lower spell-craft and knowledge (arcana) skills. Sorcerers, due to the their typical stats, are just not good at understanding magic. Wizards know what they are doing on the broader scale. ![]() Of course, from the sorcerer perspective, the wizards are a bunch of elitists who want to keep everyone out of the club that hasn't gone through the proper hazing rituals.Ĥ. ![]() ![]() This allows wizards to better prepare for any encounter compared to sorcerers.ģ) Sorcerers are quite often less intelligent than wizards (thanks to having mechanically different casting stats).Īll this adds up, for most wizards in the OoTS 'verse at any rate, to a feeling among wizards that sorcerers don't deserve their powers. Wizard power is limited only by what the wizard can find to study. If a wizard were making the argument, she would point out a few thingsġ) Magic is dangerous, and without long hours of study and care to learn to wield it properly, sorcerers are likely to be reckless and foolhardy.Ģ) Sorcerer magic is highly limited in known spells. I think it's more like resentment, and maybe even jealously at some level, though most wizards would never admit that to themselves. ![]()
