<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are playing in Glorantha, then you are
largely bound by the rules of that campaign world. It would be very rare
for a Barbarian to become a wizard (sorcerer?) but a good GM can justify all
sorts of unusual things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are playing in your own campaign world, then
do as you want.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As was posted before, the big issue is how good a
sorcerer your barabarian can be. Low level sorcerers are not very good at
magic. It takes lots of time to build up the appropriate skills (spells
and spell altering ones) to the point where the sorcerer is useful as
a spell caster.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is usually worked around by using the
occupations and perhaps having the sorcerer older than most other starting
adventurers. Having a character swap over from another magic system to
sorcery will, in most cases result in a hamstrung character (in most but not all
campaign worlds) for quite a while.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One other issue is that to start learning sorcery
spells, the character may be forced by his teacher/s to forget all spirit and
divine spells he has. Also, the gods/spirits etc that provided him withb
his Divine/Spirit magic may get a bit upset if he learns sorcery.
Especially if the character is an initiate or higher in a cult, he may have an
interesting experience with a spirit of retribution. Of course this
depends on you campaign world.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But remember, it is you campain. You can do
what you want. </FONT></DIV>
