My personal belief it is the spell casting system in general, and the interaction with resting. If both ‘camps’ feel the same way from the same evidence, then the issue must be something else. To me it is evident that Sorcerer Subclasses are dripping in flavor, the Wizard Subclasses not so much. Anyway I don't think it's terribly likely at 5E's approach works "well enough", as you essentially have to volunteer for Vancian casting by signing up as a Wizard, and nobody else does it. If that did happen, then it would be hard to see Sorcerer and Wizard as entirely different classes, but I think at the very least certain Sorcerer subclasses and the idea of "magic in the blood" vs "trained magic" would still exist. I could see an edition in the future which binned Vancian magic entirely.
No-one in 5E operates the same way old-skool Vancians did, not even Wizards (though they are most similar). Anyway, unlikely for a lot of reasons (not least that it might mess with setting concepts).ī) Vancian casting getting binned altogether. And you'd probably still end up with sorcerers as an advanced class, or hell, maybe they'd be the base class, because it seems to make more sense to say someone is maybe born with magic or not, then can restrain that magic by becoming a Wizard. It doesn't make for a better game in any way I'm aware of, it's just an aesthetic thing. I kind of see the charm, but making everyone do three levels of Warrior before picking from Fighter, Paladin, or Ranger is probably not a good way for D&D to go in future. That means that the only way you'd be getting rid of them would be a fundamental reworking of D&D in one of two forms:Ī) Some sort of pared back base class-advanced class system. So all the arguments in the world about similarity or overlap or whatever don't count for much - they have separate identities in the minds of players, and have done for a very long time (sorry other old fellow old fogies!). You might well have kids of your own by now (albeit likely very small)! That's practically an old man (I'm 41, don't hit me!). I mean, if you first played D&D at 8, and it was when 3E had just come out, 2000, you'd be 28. Late to the party here, but I think there's a very simple reason you can't merge Sorcerer and Wizard, and it's simply that they've been separate classes for too long (three editions, twenty years). And with the recent mass movement of peoples around the. This inability of Western governments and militaries to come to terms with the changing nature of modern warfare has led to failed interventions, failed occupations, and now even failed states everywhere from Eastern Europe to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Over the last 40 years, the world has gradually entered into a post-Clausewitzian state where the wars are undeclared, the battlefields can be anywhere, the uniforms are optional, and the combatants as well as the targets are often "civilian." Conventional militaries have repeatedly attempted to utilize technology to meet the new challenges posed, but even the most advanced technology has provided little more than meaningless short-term victories rendered futile in months, if not weeks.
