Thats a good point, I agree. Wizards seem like mad scientists, with no real guidelines except their imagination and past work and theories. Sorcerers are very fluid, point in fact the imagery for the sorcerer is that of an fluid elegant caster.

Here's what I am working on ...

Not that I'll get the chance to play him (as I currently gm all LoA at our local store), but my current working concept is going to be an Elorii of some stripe (since every character I have made in the setting so far has been focused on human lands and stories). I've been Vascilating between a Ardakene holy character (Cleric or Holy Champion) or a Kelekene Fighter (who uses a finesse weapon and a shield).
