I really like the 3rd and 3.5 game setting, but my gaming groups are dead set on continuing on with 2nd edition. It's what they know and 3rd edition is still to new to them.
The thing is, I've played a sorcerer and prefer them over wizards, so I want some way to make them playable in a 2nd edition game. Any suggestions? Cry

Personal opinion...

Ask your DM if he/she will allow you to use the Player's Option: Spells and Magic supplement.  The book has several variant casting systems, including the Channeler, which is similar in several ways to the 3rd edition Sorcerer.

I would suggest taking a specialist wizard as a base, and adding one spell per casting level.

Remove the ability to have an actual spellbook, scribe spells, create new spells, etc...

Have him pick 2 spells per level that he 'knows' starting at level 1.

Cast spontaneously.

Yeah, this^^^. Spells & Magic is awesome. I think the Channeler is a better sorcerer than the sorcerer.
