Reference on Dragon Blood[edit]

Quote: Many sorcerers claim that their magic comes from draconic blood, from some ancestor who was a dragon in human or other form. In the D&D world, this theory has not been confirmed, but people with dragon ancestors seem to be more common than most would think.

Would there be a cite for this to a specific 3.5 book? Yes, the quote, "this theory has not been confirmed", I would just like the source reference material that explicitly "does not confirm" this. Thank you. :) Romaq 13:29, 17 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Romaq (talk • contribs)

Probably the Player's Handbook, although I don't have it handy at the moment. 75.149.195.214 (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Prior Publication[edit]

Why is there no mention of publication before 3rd edition? Sorcerers have been in D&D since 1st edition at the very least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProphetPX (talk • contribs) 16:36, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You got a source for that? 65.126.152.254 (talk) 23:10, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Sorcerer" was one of the level titles for magic users in AD&D 1e, as seen in the 1e PHB, but that was very different from being a distinct class. They only became a distinct class in 3e. oknazevad (talk) 17:38, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
