[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7444940, member: 6716779"] 1. The fre Dragon Sorcerer is the striker option for the arcane casters. 2. Fire resistance is really common. 3. Switching to ray of frost if you encounter a fire immune/resistance critter craters your damage. 6d10+10 becomes 6d8. A striker fighter at level 11 without feats can deal 2d6+5 X3 with crits and action surge. And magic weapons are fairly common or you can indirectly get one via spells (magic weapon) and class features. A firebolt spamming Sorcerer I would consider a theory craft build and even if does turn up its no big deal. Its a lot less offensive than a Sorlock. I'm not sure if I was the 1st to figure out the Sorcerer as Archer thing but I did see a melee sorcerer build that spammed GFB. Fighter still beat him in damage but the Sorcerer was competitive. I was probably one of the 1st to see a Sorlock in a real game. A fire dragon sorcerer is roughly equivalent to the 4E Genasi Sorcerer that got to stack strength onto its damage via a racial feat IIRC. In 5E you can build a Sorcerer as a striker or something else the role is a lot less rigid than 4E. You can build a controller Sorcerer for example or even a leader one (Divine Soul). Same thing in 4E some of those guides let you deal double damage or more or non optimised characters. Jedi mafia, frostcheese etc. I would be happy if a fire dragon sorcerer was played as an archer over dropping fireballs every fight from level 9+ if they wanted to. [/QUOTE]
