Lesser Electric Orb (1st Evoc.) could also evolve into Lightning bolt (3rd Evoc.) but Shocking Grasp (1st Trans) could not… Suggestion (3rd Ench) could evolve into Dominate Person (5th Ench) but Charm Person (1st Ench) could not because: There is too much difference between the two spell effects and the right “evolutionary step” between these spells is the Suggestion (3rd Ench) spell… This Slight alteration of the sorcerer class adds a lot more flavor, as it seems logical to me that a Sorcerer more than a wizard should be able to improve his spells, thus going further than JUST adding dice upon gaining levels… Also perhaps not more than 1-2 spell evolutions, or 3 “spell level increases” per gained level r allowed, i’m not sure about this yet… :zzz: I think this improves the Sorcerer class for quite some bit as you can trade in the lower level spells which you normally wouldn’t use after selecting a higher level spell (read more powerfull) with similar effects, also you will more readily choose similar but more powerfull spells as you progress… Secondly, this provides for a chance to improve a wrong known spell choice, thus possibly making it more usefull… It has worked fine for me and my party for 1.5 years Well, the best to all you reading Please do comment, i like the interaction Robmansz
