Default Re: [DF] Wizards: FP or ER

What I'm wondering is how else sorcerers, mages, and wizards are differentiated, because with the information Nymdok's given us it seems every caster would want to be a mage.

Sorry, a better way to phrase that would have been FP and HP only.

Well I meant to post those as an example of differentiability in power sources, not as a segway to a thread-jack.

The sorcery is here. Ill post the Wizardry later.

The wizardry is Vancian, book studied, IQ driven and dirt Cheap (Wizardry 3 is 7 points). It requires external Power, a Staff and a Grimoir to study out of and Spell slots. Which balances it out.

The Sorcery is Ritual, Limited to 3 colleges, Based on the Avg of IQ and will (to encourage will purchase) and is 'on the fly' flexible. Its a lot broader, a lot more flexible, but 3 colleges is very limiting.
