Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 1513297" data-attributes="member: 1465">We are going to play The City of the Spider Queen, and my choice will be 90% a Human Sorcerer. My previous attempts to play a Sorcerer have always lead me to make it too much combat-oriented, and now I want something more versatile. At the same time we are going to start at level 8th (but it could instead be even 10th) and I am having difficulties in choosing a good spell selection without duplicates but possibly without holes as well...Any help really appreciated!  <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=";)" /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------Ye NumbersSpells Known Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9  8th  8 5 3 2 1 — — — — —  9th  8 5 4 3 2 — — — — — 10th  9 5 4 3 2 1 — — — — Feats Known 8th  4 9th  510th  5Ye GuidelinesTo choose the spells known I was trying to cover the following functionalities (one spell each might be enough):- offensive vs single target- offensive vs multiple targets- blocking/hampering multiple targets- increase AC- runaway- counter vs invisibility or improve vision- sneak supportfor example, an invisibility spell would be enough to cover both runaway and sneak, plus gives other defensive help.Other general or specific things I am trying to keep in mind:- it's ok to have a few rarely-used spells to make the PC more unique- no touch spells (my Str will be very low)- no spells with HD cap- prefer spells which disallow SR, or otherwise take Spell Penetration- exploit rays and spells with ST (my Dex and Cha will be high)- obviously look for multi-purpose spellsYe SpellsOk, here is a list of spells I like. Level 2 and 3 are the most troublesome, too many nice spells to choose from!
