Default Suggested change for sorcerors

Since sorcerors can use any spells, why cant all spells be shown in their spellbooks so the can see the ones available, in the same way as mages.

They should then be able to "choose" the spell they want to swop (from the trainers) rather than the somewhat clumsy way at present.

(Note: I am not suggesting any change to the existing mechanism, simply that we should be able to see all the spells in their spellbook).

but you already see whats in your spellbook, as those are the spells under the spelltab

thought i understand what you want, and it would make the decision to swap easier i guess, so i /sign it (even if i dont play a sroc)

If you are only allowed to cast up to level 5 spells, then you can only see up to and including lev 5 spells in your spell book. You cant see any lev6-8 spells you might have written there until such time as you can cast them.

Actually a sorceror should not be able to change spells at all. That's the thing with sorcerors, they cast faster and they get more SP, but that's only because Wizards are the more versatile arcane casters .

According to 3.5 they can change one spell every two levels. And afaik they can only change spells every three days or so wich i'm fine with concidering what spells are effective change with each mod. I still think wizzards have the upper hand because they can always have the best spell in any situation, except maybe the first time they run a q.

More OT i think its always a good idea to make the game more user friendly.

Totally agree as I have Sorc and Wiz.

However is it fair for a Sorc to be built around fire and then Turbine change the spell or monsters to be immune etc No its not, so they have to be allowed to change there spells



Also signed, think they should have an unavailable spells tab or grey'd out section
