So I'm going to go ahead and say it anyway. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As it happens I have a Drow Wild Sorcerer and the Sunlight Sensitivity is hardly an issue at all. The vast majority of spells do not require an attack roll and having disadvantage on Perception usually only matters if no one else makes the roll. Plus how often are you in "direct sunlight"? Cloudy day? Not direct sunlight. In a forest? Not direct sunlight. In the shadow of a mountain? Not direct sunlight. Attacked while camping for the night? Not direct sunlight. In building/dungeon/lost temple/any thing with a roof? Not direct sunlight. Honestly we are almost never in direct sunlight.Did I miss this being a desert campaign? Because then, sure, that's a problem. But even then not much really. I mean, here are the list of spells I would have for my character at level 20. (Not that level yet, but I like to plan ahead.)Cantrips: Acid Splash, Chill Touch, Dancing Lights, Light, Mage Hand, Minor Illusion, PrestidigitationLevel 1 (4 slots): Magic Missile, ShieldLevel 2 (3 slots): Invisibility, Misty StepLevel 3 (3 slots): Counterspell, Fireball, HasteLevel 4 (3 slots): Banishment, PolymorphLevel 5 (3 slots): Hold Monster, Wall of StoneLevel 6 (2 slot): DisintegrateLevel 7 (2 slot): Plane ShiftLevel 8 (1 slot): Dominate MonsterLevel 9 (1 slot): WishThe only spell on here that would get disadvantage is Chill Touch, and I wouldn't use that in direct sunlight anyway. I chose Acid Splash first, and Frostbite is an even better spell. I just chose Acid Splash to be different. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Oh, just remember that Plane Shift, if used offensively, requires an attack roll. But again, how often am I going to need it and the target will actually be in direct sunlight?Final thought. One of the BEST things about Drow is that they have a disadvantage. What really makes heroes interesting is their flaws, and they have one built in. (Well, there are other ones as well, but I will leave those out so as to not derail the thread.)</blockquote>
