Sorcerer PM vs. Wizard PM - Difference?

[Legacy_Empyre65]

               For both Wizard and Sorcerer, Pale Master levels will grant you more spell slots as if you leveled in your arcane class. The difference is that a Wizard can learn spells from scrolls to use those higher-level slots, and a Sorcerer can't. A Sorcerer can still use those slots through metamagic, like Extend Spell for example.
the NWNWiki article about Pale Master explains this.

               Many thanks, Empyre65. This gets to the heart of the matter.

So, at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.. levels of PM, neither a sorcerer's or a wizard's list of available spell levels goes up. However, wizards can learn the higher level through use of scrolls

So, to equalize this, one would either have to:

1) Add the next higher available spell level to sorcerers upon achieving an odd PM level (granting access to all the spells of that level)

or

2) Enable sorcerers to add to their known spells via scroll as wizards

Make sense?

               Sorcerers can cast more spells per day than even specialist Wizards, and they don't have to memorize spells ahead of time, casting spontaneously. The price they pay for this is being unable to learn spells from scrolls, thus having a limited numbers of spells they know. If you let Sorcerers learn spells from scrolls, they will become over-powered, leaving little reason to ever choose Wizard.

The PRC addresses this issue, however, since much is hardcoded, it is gotten around by scripting it - the PRC uses a Convo type system to learn spells by.

There is currently no other way to address this issue that I am aware of, since it is hardcoded.
