Message: <blockquote data-quote="FormerlyHemlock" data-source="post: 6603772" data-attributes="member: 6787650">Why do you say "one point in AC"? From where I'm standing it looks more like four points. Dragon Sorcerer = AC 13 + Dex. Favored Soul = AC 15 (armor) + 2 (Shield) + Dex (up to 2). To reduce the differential to one point of AC, you'd need to pump Dex to 20, which you wouldn't.I think Favored Soul is OP in the sense that it obsoletes the Dragon Sorc. Sorlocks are already one of the most attractive types of sorcerers. Now compare Warlock 2 / Favored Soul X to Warlock 2 / Dragon Sorc X, and what does the dragon sorc have going for it? Worse AC, marginally better HP, same cantrip, far tighter spell selection, no access to Bless/Lesser Restoration/Revivify/Death Ward/Raise Dead. With a dragon sorc you still need a cleric in the group, but with a Favored Soul you can be the DPR king and the healer. I would actually be tempted to play a Favored Soul over a wizard, which is good, but I would never again be tempted to play any other kind of sorcerer, which is bad.</blockquote>
