D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Sorcerer"

[GarrettKP]

Oh, I love it, don't get me wrong. I meant zero offense to @Parmandur or @GarrettKP . I just thought it was funny and a sign of how little WoTC actually revealed.

No offense taken. We definitely went a bit too hard on the art stuff.

There really isn't much to reveal.

Level 1: limited +1 to DCs and advantage on firebolt
Level 2: metamagic.

Every other feature: do it more often.

OK, so:

• Main Iconic, Elf woman

Are you sure that's an elf? Looks more like a tiefling to me, with the horns being a bit odd-shaped. Particularly in light of this picture:

They look like they could be family or something. I mean, she could be a drow I guess (if they're making them more purple/blue than black), but she looks more tieflingy to me.

That is hair, not horns. She is colored like a Moon Elf.

I think the Elf Sorcerer and Tiefling Bard are related to each other, like siblings.

Honestly, I am deeply looking forward to a thread where the pictures are gathered together to be discussed. I keep getting tempted to fast forward through the videos and grab them all.

Only two videos left...

Okay, who's idea was the limit break super form? I'm not a fan.

As to still needing materials components: Eh, I homebrewed that out years ago.

Innate Focus: Due to your natural connection to the Weave, you may cast any spell while ignoring it's Material Components, unless said Components have a specific cost.

Basically just moved the component pouch from the "Equipment" field to the "Features" field. A simple change (that I wish was official).

 

[Minigiant]

Wait....

They didn't go over Twinned Spell, did they.

Sneaky sneaky.

I really wish they didn't double down so hard on Sorcerer being the dumb brute force mage.

I mean the dumb brute force mage would be the Sorcerer but there are more super powers than Blast and Bigger Blast.

I wish there were more highlight on being innately a trickster, a charmer, or a transformer. More spotlight on Metamagic that does more than deal damage.

But this looks like the best and clearest display of a natural arcane damage dealer in D&D's history

There's nothing that inherently forces you to be a blaster caster. Yes, you get advantage on Firebold (and Scorching Ray, and Disintegrate, and...), but you ALSO gain +1 to all Save DC's. That makes every spell type harder to resist. So you could be a fantastic Mind Mage or Enchanter.

I started a thread thia afternoon, haven't collected the art there yet.
