Since this has been asked a bunch, and everyone pretty well knows why it's a good idea 8) .... I'm not gonna go into a rant.


-They can be necros
-Sorcs are not far from necros


Halfling sorcs plz?

halflings dont have the patience to become sorcs.

Necro is the easy way to power, and even a halfling will manage to pull it with the fast rewards its corrupted way provides.

Sorc just takes too much devotion, and a halfling is most likely to give it up.

I know, there are halfling priests of ain, but that's the thing. theyre priests. They get direction from above. Sorc is all you, and a halfling is just too yippee to do it.

That's just my thing.

Of course, someone will argue 'But there are sprite sorcs'
Well you got me there :p Maybe sprites are just innate magical.

There are sprite sorcs!


My thoughts on a sorc, based on DnD, are that sorcs are born sorcs. They wake up one day and accidentally shoot a purple missile at something and realize it.

I don't see a good reason why a halfling couldn't be born with sorcerer powers, when a sprite or griffon can. I don't see how it would overpower them at all. So why not?

Well. To clarify, Sorcs are not from dnd. They're from dnd 3d edition. There's a world of difference there. (kinda like SK pre-CRS, and SK after CRS. Yeah, i'm beating a dead horse, but I thought the comparison is funny)

Sk 'sorcs' are more of dnd's 'wizards'. It's not so much a charisma-tied class as it is an int-tied class.

A few of us were really looking forward to playing halfling shaman.

Leave the dead horse alone, it's been dead and buried for a while, now it's all bones and worms.

The patience it takes to gather undead is much greater than the patience needed to grab a charm.

I think he was speaking in relative terms, not practical ones. Something akin to the lines that the study of sorcery, as it would be seen IC, takes longer as opposed to the easy, power attaining necromancy. Though theory and practice don't always see eye to eye.

Just a clarification. 8)

The helpfile says that halflings are obsessive, it's sprites that are spastic. Halflings should lend themselves perfectly to sorcerers, obsessively studying everything they can find.
