And, as I already stated, there are also other balance benefits. There is a bigger picture here.

    Problem being of course that we started out with spell points so we are kinda stuck with them.
    With the number of mobs in a module memo wouldnt work game is based on us being able to cast many more times the spells then a pnp character can. And you idea of wizards memoing spells would weaken them even more.

    The comparison to feats is apt though.. changing spells requires re-arranging a sorcerer's brain.

    Seems like you'd be happier with a wizard. Man up and roll one. Surely, that's a better solution than unbalancing the entire game so you can fix your spell list.

    Note earlier where I mentioned being able to balance the quests. If we had the amount of spells we should per day we'd need to have less total monsters (with more sensible hit points) BUT each spell would be effective on its own, no need for piles of items and enhancements to make them useful. Blanket immunities would be a thing of the past, and each spell cast would have a real effect on combat. Also it would encourage more tactics, as you game plan can't be just casting Wall of Fire over and over. That's pretty cool.
