No, he is not an optimized Sorcerer, in fact he would probably loose to Binky in a fair fight, and if truely threatened, he would teleport away at the first opportunity. The point of this build is to provide and interesting NPC, not do battle with random 20th level wizards. This character is true villain with an agenda and the power and resources to accomplish goals. He does not threaten the world, but if he so pleased, he could make a lot of trouble for the region. Most importantly of all he has a personality, something sadly lacking in the builds we have seen so far.Name: BogartClass Shadow Sorcerer 20Race: Variant HumanAlignment: Lawful EvilAttributes:Str 8, Dex 20, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 20Feats:Actor, Resilient DexteritySaving Throws:Dex +11, Con +8, Cha +11Skills:Deception +11, Intimidation +11, Persuasion +11, Slieght of Hand +11, Stealth +11Tools:Disguise Kit, Forgery KitLanguages:Common, ElvishBackground: CharlatanMetamagic:Twinned, Subtle, Quickened, EmpoweredSpells (15):Cantrips: Acid Splash.

The town is known for the insane number of powerful wizards that live there, and the beloved writer of romance novels Binky Cheddar lives there as well. Bogart is in line for the Grand Master Mage, although there are very few people who want him to ascend to this role. If Bogart becomes the Grand Master Mage, it will greatly expand his power and area of influence. Bogart is an unethical braggart and a well known coward. Magic came naturally to the young Bogart, but with good looks, charm and treachery, Bogart managed to get accepted into the Institute of Arcanic Knowlegde, where he lie, cheated and stole his way into a graduating with honors, without actually doing any meaningful work or study. Fortunately for him, his natural talent with magic developed quickly and gave him an edge. Bogart will not use magic in instances where skill and treachery will suffice.Currently, Bogart is heavily involved in the local politics of Foggy Bottom and to a lesser extent Candlekeep. He has slowly and meticuliously been working behind the scenes to make himself wealthy and gain political power. While his public persona is very popular and well liked among the people of Foggy Bottom and Candlekeep, those who know him well, do not like him at all and view him as an opponent, even if just in passing.Behind the scenes, Bogart has taken control of the the Foggy Bottom Thieves Guild as the infamous Iron Mask. He runs a tight ship, making sure they do not get too out of hand and do not bring too much attention to themselves. He also ensures the guild does not participate in the more ugly types of crime that would bring scrutiny to Foggy Bottom, thinking nothing of murdering his own men or turning them into the City Guard if they cross the line. Bogart has several hide outs and safe houses around both Foggy Bottom and Candlekeep, complete with Teleportation Circles, if he needs to hide while the heat cools down, although he rarely has to do this as he has many underlings to do his dirty work for him.Bogart has a fairly extensive network of informants throughout the area. As Iron Mask he has many street urchins and a handful of professional thieves under his control. In his public persona, he has bribed or blackmailed someone in just about every organization in the region. All of these people will provide Bogart with information and do range of tasks for him.</blockquote>
