A man in robes with a palpable aura of energy surrounding him. His head hidden beneath a dark hood, small arcs of energy jumping between skinny fingers.

The sorcerer is a master of the arcane arts, a pure spellcaster who uses mental and mystical power to overcome his foes. He wields pure elements to vanquish foes, and armors himself in mystical barriers.

Here is a brief summary of the distinctive features of the Sorcerer:

STR -4	Class Base of 3 HP	Can Use Eldritch Orbs
DEX +2	Class Base of 9 SP	Spellcasting based on INT
CON -2	+1 Spell Point	Full Use of 4 Arcane Spellbooks
INT +4	Poor Melee Combat	Use of 5 Specialty Sorcerer Spellbooks
WIS +0	Average Missile Combat	Good Mental and Reflex Saves; Poor Health Saves
PER +2	Excellent Evasion	Good Magic Use; Average Search, Disarm, and Stealth

Sorcerer's have two great weaknesses. They have the worst melee capabilities with a bad starting strength and the worst melee combat progression. Their second wekaness is they have the fewest HP of all the classes. Sorcerer's make up for these weaknesses with their awesome magical might. They are unmatched in spellcasting and possess probably the most powerful and versatile collection of spells.
