Message: <blockquote data-quote="Minigiant" data-source="post: 6564095" data-attributes="member: 63508">"The Sorcerer spell list forces it into being mainly a blaster" is a myth. The Sorcerer has many enchantments, illusions, conjuration, and transmutations. It's weakest aspect are wards via abjurations and summons via conjuration and necromancy.At level 5, a sorcerer has 5 cantrips, 6 spells known, 2 metamagics, ad 5 sorcery points. You can make a powerful Charmer Sorcerer with that.Cantrips: Friends + 4 other spellsSpells: Charm Person, Sleep, Hold Person, + any three attack spells.Metamagic: Heighten + 1 otherYou have a guy who can guarantee a Charm or Hold Person. Snag Empower spell for blasting or Subtle spells for trickery. Later levels allow for Power Word and Dominate spells. Perfect for a mage with fey blood or a changeling.The real issue is out of this 2 subclasses and 8 metamagics, only 1 class feature and 1 metamagic affect saving throws and only 1 metamagic affects durations.No widen spellNo repeat spellNo invisible spellNo delay spellNo deceptive spellNo spending sorcery points to reroll concentration. No other permanent 3rd level buff spell effectOn buff extension is double durationThat's the issue. The spell list says you can be a blaster, charmer, trickster, countermage, or buffer. The subclasses say "flying blaster" and "wacky things". The metamagics say "different flavors of blaster" mostly. All these enchantments. Almost not support. Shame. Literally a Charisma class.</blockquote>
