-Three brand new sorcerous origins built into the class: the flametouched, the godkissed, and the warborn

-Revised rules for multiclass spellcasting

-An examination of the sorcerer class within the game world, the class's relationship to the Weave, and some of the secrets of spellfire

-A peek behind the DM screen to explain some of the changes

-And more...

So from the reviews and previews, I'm taking that this book is still a work in progress. I'm interested in buying the book, as a sorcerer is my favourite class to play, but it has some glaring issues, however, I will do so only if I know that this is still being maintained and worked on. So my question is - Is this book still being worked on or is it abandoned and when can we expect the finished version to come out if it is still being worked on?

Hi, Vladko!

Yes, the pdf is being revised, but some other work and some day-job and family challenges have prevented moving forward for a few months. A new version of the file will be up in mid- to late September. Additional versions beyond that will depend on feedback from readers and players that have had the opportunity to get this version of the sorcerer on their tables.

I'd be happy to know what glaring issues you're seeing. If there's something wrong, I of course would like to address it!

Hey Brian.

Thank you for the clarification. As of now I have bought and read the book and I must say I really enjoy the way you have changed the sorcerer.

As for my issues with the current version of the sorcerer, I always found it annoying that it is basically a slightly worse version of the wizard, that could cast fewer spells. While metamagic helps, you learn too few of them to be useful outside and in combat, making you choose between RP and combat, some of their costs being unreasonable for the effects and the sheer fact that there isn't all that many to choose from. Finally, probably my biggest problem with the sorcerer is the Lvl 20 talent, allowing you 2 Lvl 1 spells per short rest. A talent that should in all fairness be granted to the sorcerer at an early level.

After reading the book and marveling at the lore and insights as to how and why you made changes, I really like what you did with the sorcerer, but the Lvl 20 talent is still a problem, along with the fact...See more

Ah! I agree with you on many of your points on the core sorcerer. For some reason, I thought your "glaring issues" were concerns with the class as presented in the preview and description. I'm delighted to hear that you're enjoying the book so far!

Of course, I welcome any feedback you have on the build of the book: things you think are too powerful or lack enough "oomph!," text that could be clearer, sorcerous origins you'd like to see added, or anything else. Please feel free to email (using the address in the Introduction to the book), and I'll be happy to respond, and to see about incorporating your thoughts into future iterations.
