Derp of course. I'm thinking arcane trickster. I would probably go wisdom based.

For me yes. I don't purity test over it or claim TSR is better than clone or this clone is better than that clone. Shadowdark also looks interesting but haven't looked to hard at it. I haven't bought new OSR product in years though. My tastes lean towards B/X variants with additional...

I've been seeing a few more Goliath recently. Can't remember the flavor I saw post 2024 for a short game/substitute. Mordenkainens kinda gets forgotten about although I'm seeing more gith post BG3. Cheers Lae'zel. They're going for earlier ones from Volos iirc. Bladelock medium armor is why.

Int based effect? Splashing a fighter level fir medium armor seems like a good idea.

5. It's spell level +1 for CO New encounter guidelines say to not use X2 enemies for PCs. Easy fight for 6 is 7800 xp lvl 9 iirc. That's 10 CR 3s roughly maybe 11 each with 50-70hp roughly. Mooks at those levels theoretically are CR 2 or 3. Fireball is very mediocre vs a low combat RAW die...

Fireball often can't hit that many targets is the thing. CO in effect you get energy substitution and careful spell for free. It's easier to white room chromatic orb and situationally abuse it. Eg vs Paralyzed critters. 30' bounce range in effect let's ot hit everyone even if spaced out a...

I would still take hex tbh. Innate Sorcery isn't always available. More importantly it works with Sorcererous Bust and scorching ray. Stuff you shoukd be doing anyway. Also via feat once a long rest you can hex plus cast another spell. Low level CO I don't expect them to bounce and...

Assuming you reach level 7. 2 levels may be 2-4 months of real life time. Sorlock does pull away higher levels. Overall I would still rate BM higher because of that.

Not sure. This started when I saw a reddit post comparing CO to chain lightning. I thought it was a joke. @Kinematics is doing the math.i can report on what I'm seeing at the table my personal testing. For sorcerers it seems better imho. Everyone else it's situational on gaining...

Menacing best one for control. With sharpshooter nerf I woukd focus that. It's also a wisdom save. Personally I would take alert and trip if you have melee characters you can set up later in the initiative.

Apparently yes. Adds around 5-7% more chance to bounce. Seeing that in action. The sorcerer player forgot the 1s treated as 2s effect.

Heavy Crossbow spam your not multiclassing. So you benefit from class features and feats that much sooner. Battlemaster switches on level 3. Sorlock playable from level 3. Assuming you go Sor1, War 2 then sorcerer xyz. I don't mind waiting a level for a feat waiting 3 levels not so...

Yup thats why you build a sorcerers as a hybrid. Dragon ones all get command. Spells I pick are things like hold person, blindness, slow etc. If 5.0 material us allowed tashas mind whip. Biggest whiff I've seen was vs cambions at AC 19 iirc. My Sorcerer player is s bit inexperienced and...

That's still level 10ish though. Until then you're a glorified EB spammer barely any good at that either. It's a valid bards big weakness in theory crafting. It's levrl 6 ability and you kinda need to MC to really abuse it which kicks it up to 8ish. Way to long to wait for a second attack...

CO is easier to white room. Fireballs way to dependent on DM encounter design. Chromatic Orbs pretty much good all of the time. At least as far as damage dealing goes. Both whiff occasionally. A good fireball is rare these days. Chromatic Orb is worth upcasting fireball not so much...

I would probably go fae touched if elven accuracy is unavailable. Empower and twin spell. Pick scorching ray and maybe fireball or lightning bolt. Quicken level 10 and Seeking or transmute element 10. Empowers not really needed much level 5+ but on your low level ones it's great. O...

Sorcerers have chromatic orb as an option. Worst case scenario it's close enough imho obsoleting the feat.

Long time to wait for ASI and your build gets good level 14. Sorlock switches on a lot faster. Battlemaster switches on even earlier builds comple level 8 really. Scorching ray+ hex can also do absurd damage single target. Battlemaster you can't win on damage vs melee so would probably...

Didn't you load up on vicious weapon for everyone and resistance rings in multiples? Table in DMG shows how many common magic items to gand out. And if you can even buy magical ones including common. I don't think your example is typical nor RAW.

The recurring flaw in thise vard 10 type builds is they take to long to cone online and they're semi unplayable to level 12-14.
