This debate between my friends is neverending... id like to see what other peoples oppiniones are.

Which do you think comes out on top... wizard... or sorceror.

MY oppinione is that is that they truely have different uses. If im going for a battlemage... i go forwizard... he gets fireball and lightningbnolt much quiker and get powerfull spells sooner. He dosnt need to cast spontaniously cause he knows what he's casting. FIREBALL... MAGICMISSLE... LIGHTNINGBOLT

a Sorceror is better for those weird of spells... dont get me wrong he needs a few combat spells... but he can have all those odd but helpfull spells at the RIGHT time because he can cast spontaniously... your never going to just randomly prepare... lets say a grease spell... cause 1/1000 times you wont need it... but if your a sorceror you dont need to worry about that. You cast w/e odd spell you have whenever you want. So you pick mostly nondamage doing spells like portle, grease, spiderclimb, whisper, ect

Your analysis is a little off.  Ok, it's a LOT off.  You state that for a Battlemage you'd go with a Wiz?!  Are you hoping for a short battle?  The strength of the Wiz doesn't lie in memorizing the spell multiple times.  It lies in the greater selection of spells plus metamagic fetas.  If you want to cast a limited number of spells a lot of times per day ...   What class was that again?  Oh yeah, it's a SORC!!!

I personally like them both but I do not see ANY way you could argue that a Wiz makes a better Battlemage than a Sorc.  BTW, if you go to d20.org they have a very good variant class called the BattleSORC.

Wizard!!!

Sorcerers are for newbies who need to learn to play first...

if you feel the need to argue with this, you are still at the fighter stage...

In the PnP game the sorcerer is broken.
The Wizard is hard to play at lower levels but when you reach Lv. 7 you rule the world

I like the Sorcerer. I like the flexibility of not preparing spells. Also you can make a really interesting character. Wizards are also cool but I still love the Bard.
