Well, we should better ask the designers  <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=":)" /> but also keep in mind that if the requirement was 2nd level it may be fine for your Sorcerer but TOO good for the others.4. All feats taken for Rays officially apply only to spells with "Effect: Ray". Sneak Attack synergies very well with spells, and keeps the damage high even if you had to delay higher-level spells (most of spells which require an attack don't give a saving throw, therefore it matters less that they are low-level spells). However, in most circumstances you will only get to sneak attack on the first round, unless you can afford to close up with the enemies.5. Eeh... ASF is the price to pay for being an arcane caster!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> There are 3rd-party-books feats to reduce ASF, but they don't take it out completely IIRC and you'll still have to wear armor which gives a small AC bonus. Protection spells like Mage Armor are still the best way to go, and better than any nonmagic light armor.6. It is not fixed damage of 1, it is still 1+Str.7. It applies to he touch attack but not to the Strength check.</blockquote>
