[Sorcery, The Sorcerer] Super Accelerated Casting

[Kalzazz]

The Sorcerer (Pyramid 82, Magical Creations) has Accelerated Casting for Sorcery, which is very helpful for switching between various learned spells

However, it would be very nice to have an upgraded form of it that can also be used for improvisation, since I have found sorcerers are not very improvisation prone due to the whole 'I can improvise something . . . . or I can use my tried and true favorite spell and not waste a round', so improvisation becomes super rare except outside of combat

Not sure exactly what the suitable price for this is though, somewhere between Accelerated Casting and full blown CM

Ditch "Only to switch the active sorcerous spell, -60%" and use "Only to improvise spells, -30%". Price becomes 25/level.

Optionally, add "Limited, Sorcery, -5%" instead of that(this becomes -10% if you also have other non-Sorcery powers) to use all spells. Cost becomes 37/5/level.

Hmmm, thank you, that gives me some thoughts to play with

I think I will go with 30 level for 'Only to switch spells or improvise spells'

if 'Only to improvise spells' is -30%, then 'Only to switch or improvise' is -18%

And we keep the 'No Mental Separation' for -20% which is on there. So we get 31 (but Pentaphilia encourages 30)

We could also use Only to Improvise Spells (25), and then as a 2/5th Alternate (because I have seen some arguments on 'no switching time alternates as 2/5th) for Only to Switch Active Spells get 4, so 29, and Pentaphilia again encourages 30

Huh? I'm not following here.

Two different approaches given you've priced 'Only to improvise spells' at -30%

Approach 1: Either/or
If "Only to switch the active sorcerous spell" is -60%
and "Only to improvise spells" is -30%
Then by either/or limitations (from here)

Would be -18%

So Compartmentalized Mind (Only to Switch the Active Sorcerous Spell OR to improvise spells -18%, No Mental Seperation -20%) would be 31

Approach 2: Instant Switch Alternate Abilities
Using this approach http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=11
So we pay 2/5th for the cheaper ability
'To improvise spells' is 25pts
'To switch the active sorcerous spell' is 10 pts
So 25 + 2/5th of 10 = 29

So we have 31 or 29, and Pentaphilia demands we should have an even increment of 5, so 30

Ah-ha! So yeah, that looks right.
