[QUOTE="Krakenspire, post: 6742092, member: 6787754"] You can do it with the spells listed for sorcerer. Quite frankly most sorcerer spells you will be taking don't have anything to do with acid damage at all, Sleep, Magic Missile, Shield, Haste, Invisibility, Counterspell, Wish, etc... once you realize this then all of a sudden the acid damage is not to bad. Take the acid damage for flavour and don't be defined by every spell having to be acid. If you are really wedded to the black dragon thing, black dragons are also all about corruption, darkness and sneakiness. Cantrip: Acid Splash 1st: Chromatic Orb -its not a bad spell for straight damage and despite what people think the 50gp gem is not hard to get. Just add it as a necklace or ring and away you go. [s]2nd: Melf's Acid Arrow[/s] - should not be on the list because of balance issues with metamagic, however if you really want it then ask the DM My personal favourite spell of all time (since it first appeared[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow_of_the_Underdark"] here[/URL]) from the free[URL="http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/EE_PlayersCompanion.pdf"] EE Players Companion[/URL] : [ATTACH=CONFIG]71439._xfImport[/ATTACH] so that covers off your AOE spell and its a pretty good one IMHO. Black dragon themed spells are: Control Water, Fog Cloud, Dancing Lights, Ray of Sickness, Darkness, Misty Step, Stinking Cloud, Water Walking, Water Breathing, Blight, Cloudkill, Insect Plague, Wall of Water, Watery Sphere, Al-Dizims horrid wilting. Really you don't need any more than that, as the rest of your spell selection is going to have nothing to do with elemental damage anyway (even if you did choose fire with more options). [/QUOTE]
