Q50
By RAW can a sorcerer or bard learn ANY spells. Specifically I am referring to the following from the SRD:
"At each new sorcerer level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a sorcerer knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer/wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the sorcerer has gained some understanding of by study."
and
"When your sorcerer or bard gains a new level, consult Table: The Bard or Table: Sorcerer Spells Known to learn how many spells from the appropriate spell list he now knows. With permission, sorcerers and bards can also select the spells they gain from new and unusual spells that they have gained some understanding of."
Certainly the "with permission" part in the second quote would seem to indicate a sort of "your DM can do whatever he wants, go ahead and ask." However, the first quote (from the sorcerer entry) seems to indicate just doing some sort of research allows for any spell.
