Other than CHA, DEX and CON are the particularly useful stats for sorcerer, so I decided to start with 20 DEX and 18 CHA rather than 19 in each. I don't see what's so hard to understand. Ah, you're still working the sorlock angle here. Not sure why the armour bothers you at all then, since it's an easy thing for any arcane caster to cheese with a single level of cleric. Let's stick with just single class sorcerers for now.It's not that the shield isn't useful, but it does cost you. The best damage for a Favoured Soul for the first 10 levels would be a quickened spell and a martial attack. I don't think many DMs would let you attack with a weapon, sheath it, then cast a quickened spell all while holding a shield. Even if your DM would, you either have a weapon out ready for an opportunity attack, or a hand free to cast a spell (like Shield) as a reaction, or you take Subtle spell and burn a sorcery point. There are tradeoffs to make.I thought the whole point of sorlock was to quicken Scorching Ray with an Eldritch Blast and add your CHA damage to a bajillion blasts every round. Are you telling me there's an even better way to cheese it?</blockquote>
