Questions tagged [sorcerer]
For questions about the sorcerer, a particular class or type of magic user in many tabletop RPGs. In several editions of Dungeons & Dragons, the sorcerer class typically harnesses some form of innate magic, but other game systems may use the term differently. (Questions about the occult horror/fantasy RPG "Sorcerer" by Ron Edwards should use the [sorcerer-rpg] tag instead.)
