+4 perception with magical guidance for reroll a failed skill. Are you site about that.
Suck. Create a build that Challenges It.
...I also suspect you might not be a native english speaker. It's all right, I'm not either, but I feel like you are not understanding part of what I'm trying to communicate correctly.

Magic guidance won't help against enemies with good stealth, because, as you know, you won't get to roll. They'll just beat your low passive perception. The same will probably happen with traps and your passive investigation (8 int, ouch).

I don't really need to create a build. Any normally optimized single-classed rogue (with darkvision) will be a far superior scout to this sorcerer of yours.

Infiniltely worst at hidding.
Create It
Divination spells is better than mundane.

This seems like a really fun build. Just like any other caster though, you can be really really good at one thing at a time, because of Concentration.

So @Hohige, I don't think you have to worry about this build overshadowing any other characters. It seems like a great team player!

And when the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer drops its invisibility to cast another spell with concentration, and the enemies get in their readied attacks and drop it to 0 hp, the Sorcerer will be very glad to have some teammates there to help!

Any rogue with 20 dex, expertise to stealth, perception, investigation, half decent wis and int and darkvision. Skulker feat is highly advised, as is Alert, if possible.

For the love of...I already asked: What.Are.Those.Divinations.
I only see clairvoyance on your build and it's terrible.

How? Your build ran out of sorcery points and spells within like a half hour of the adventuring day starting, doing everything the way you have. The rogue gets 23 and a half hours with you walking around hoping that nothing else happens.

And you are being absolutely annoying right now. Maybe you don't realize it, but the way you communicate is perfect for making people angry. You make bombastic claims and demean everything your detractors say without EVER addressing their points: you just move the goal post and carry on like it's nothing.

You might be trolling. If so, good job. Otherwise, you need to learn how civilized discussion works. Have fun, bye.

An Aberrant Soul Sorcerer has 53 Sorcery Point pool converting spells to Sorcery Point.
You can play pretty well with stealth and spaming Dissonant Whisper for ALL day. Its free damage and party oportunity attack and when you want to shine expend more Sorcery Points.

You will love spam Dissonant Whisper like a cantrip (can be casted hidden), always damages the enemy and give your party free oportunity attack.
What would be the point of casting the spell hidden, since it instantly knows where you are once you cast the spell as it must move away from you? Everyone else will know as well - Fred the goblin is fleeing from your spot!

Mind you, the spell almost IS a cantrip at mid levels. It's doing less damage than a cantrip at levels above level 5 (DW does 10.5 damage on average, and Toll the Dead typically does 13 average damage at level 5, and then 19.5 at level 11). The reaction to move away is really the benefit of the spell, and only if someone has an opportunity attack lined up. So, great if a foe is next to the rogue to get their sneak attack again against the foe that is leaving due to the spell (though rare since most rogues don't stay on the front line), but not so good if your front line guy has something else lined up for their reaction.
