    D&D 5E Melee Sorcerer Build

    1) Great catch, not sure what I was thinking. OP edited to reflect, costs you one attack. 2) Spot on, makes for fun Booming Blade interactions. 3) Solid pick. Anyone know if this stacks with the Giant Soul ability? 4) Fair point. Upcast spells like AoA, Heals, and SB will account for a lot...

    D&D 5E The Shadow Whirlwind - A Melee Sorcerer Combo

    For your consideration ... At 3rd level, a sorcerer has access to: Booming Blade Green Flame Blade Quicken Spell Twin Spell Shadow Blade All other considerations aside (multiclassing, armor, HP, etc) you can now employ the Shadow Whirlwind for serious multi-round nova damage against two...
