I was reading the Demonologist Spellbook at
http://www.cobwebbedforest.co.uk, and I was wondering whether The Demonologist chooses between Standard and Vile Demonologist at first rank, or as I had previously understood it, the Demonologist reached 4th Rank as a Sorcerer and then gained access to the Vile Demonologist spells at 5th Rank.
@CobwebbedDragon?
Do you have the Players' Guide, @Acoma?
The sorcerer can choose to become a demonologist at any point prior to achieving rank 5. Upon reaching rank 5, the demonologist no longer learns new sorcerer spells (but keeps the level 1-4 sorcerer spells he already knows). Instead, the demonologist learns demonology abilities.
However, the Players' Guide introduced new demonology spells for levels 1-4. Optionally, a sorcerer that becomes a demonologist at an earlier rank may choose to learn the demonology spells for his level instead of sorcery spells. The demonologist may only choose one or the other, not both.
If you have any questions, just post them here and I'll help clarify anything that I can. And, of course, thank you for checking out the Cobwebbed Forest - if there's anything you would like to see available on the site, just let me know.
