#1 skwoagc Jan 14, 2013 11:28:46	So i recently started D&D and TBH it's a bit overwhelming. Having said that I am a giant nerd and love gaming so i'm determined to figure this out. I recently created a Sorceror under the wild magic and playing on 4e. I have some questions in regards to the sorceror. As i am lvl 1 still what happens for spells when i level? I follow the PHB and have only spells from that book, is that suffice? I read i'm only allowed 8 casts per day, is this true? I konw sorcerors get a familiar in 3.5 but do they get one in 4e if so is there a list somewhere where i can browse and purchase one? also i was wondering in regards to implements with daggers and such is it saying i can use my dagger modifier bonus for the attack roll? Thanks to whoever answers these and i'm sure i have more to come when they are answered! Cheers SKWOAGC

Most levels you get a new spell.  At 2nd, 6th & 10th, you get a utility.  At 3rd & 7th, an encounter attack spell.  And, at 5th and 9th, a daily attack spell. I follow the PHB and have only spells from that book, is that suffice? Yes.  Since you're playing a Sorcerer, BTW, I assume it's a Player's Handbook 2, the one with the Sorcerer class... I read i'm only allowed 8 casts per day, is this true? No.  At 1st, you should have 4 spells.  Two are at-will, and you can cast them every round, all day long, if you've a reason to.  One is an 'encounter,' so you can cast it once each encounter, recovering it between encounters as part of a 5-minute "short rest."  Your last spell is your most powerful, which can be cast only once per 'Day,' and is recovered as part of an "Extended rest." I konw sorcerors get a familiar in 3.5 but do they get one in 4e if so is there a list somewhere where i can browse and purchase one? Any archanist can take a feat to get a familiar.  The Feat, however, is in Arcane Power.   also i was wondering in regards to implements with daggers and such is it saying i can use my dagger modifier bonus for the attack roll? If you have a magic dagger with an enhancement bonus (the classic "+1 dagger" for instance), that bonus can be applied to your spells that use the dagger as an "Implement."  All daggers also have a +3 proficiency bonus, that bonus applies only to Weapon attacks, most arcane spells are Implement, rather than Weapon, attacks, so don't benefit from the proficiency bonus.
