[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8092975, member: 15700"] So, I had been wanting to play a shadow sorcerer for a while. When I got the chance to be a players that's what I chose. It was Descent into Avernus. I found out quickly my choice in class was starting with a handicap. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the character, but the key features of the class are rendered useless when most of the enemies you fight are devils who have devil's sight (rendering your darkness and darkvision features useless), and they all have magic resistance, so while your hound of ill omen helps, it doesn't meet it's goal of imposing disadvantage on your targets saving throws.
