Cold sorcs do pretty well out of the deal. Frostbite, ice knife, and Snilloc's snowball swarm bolster them at low levels, and at the higher end, investiture of ice is a strong alternative to Otiluke's freezing sphere. Lightning and acid sorcs don't get as much love, but they do see their mid-range options beefed up by storm sphere and vitriolic sphere, respectively. Poison sorcs can go cry in the corner.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Aarakocra can fly starting at level 1. Good deal. 4E tried to balance aarakocra by denying them the ability to fly until Paragon tier, and that never sat well with me. 5E's approach is much better--just give 'em the darn wings, and add a sidebar warning for DMs about the possible consequences of low-level flight.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Love the new elemental cantrips.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I foresee shenanigans around create bonfire and the warlock invocation that lets you push people with eldritch blast. Great way to make life hell for opponents in tight corridors.</li> </ul></blockquote>
