Epic Selectable Class Feats:Blinding Speed 

Description:
Description: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories - just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. 
Epic Sorcerer:
The epic sorcerer is a near mythic being. But still the need for ever-greater power never ceases and the sorcerer pushes on, exploring and mastering the magical. 

Hit Die: d4 and Skill Points: 2 + Int modifier
Prestige Class Tips:
Sorcerers are ideally suited to becoming Red Dragon Disciples and Pale Masters.
Notes: Sorcerers receive spells one level later than wizards. For example, to cast level 2 spells, wizard level 3 is sufficient while sorcerer level 4 is required. 
Spellcasting: Arcane (Charisma-based, no need for preparation, armor related chance of spell failure is a factor). Must have a Charisma score of 10 + the spell’s level to cast a spell.
