Message: <blockquote data-quote="StreamOfTheSky" data-source="post: 5800272" data-attributes="member: 35909">The main benefit to Split Ray is, iirc, there is no metamagic rod to replace it with.  Still, don't get it w/o a bunch of rays you plan to get, though enervation almost singlehandedly makes it worth the feat.If MM races are allowed Forest Gnome is basically regular gnome plus a bunch of cool minor bonuses (though you'd need Int 12 or some ranks in speak language because they don't automatically know common), I suggest using that.Spells:Protection from Evil, True Strike, and True Casting care just about nothing for CL or casting mod, so I'd wand/scroll those rather than waste a spell known or spellpool usage.  At least with Mage Armor it lasts so long having a high CL to protect from dispel is a valid reason to learn it or get from spellpool.  As a sorc, be very picky with your spells known, don't get anything that works just as well from a cheap item.Ray of Enfeeblement is a solid spell.  I like Ray of Clumsiness (identical, but transmutation and penalizes Dex) better, though, if it was printed in C.Arcane before it was in SpC.Level 4 spells:Almost all of those are pretty good.  I would not get Unluck (it actually got shifted to 3rd level in SpC and it's still debatable if it's that good), Bestow Curse (it's melee touch range and clerics get it earlier -- casting spells on the cleric list already makes you a sucker according to Logic Ninja, casting cleric spells at a higher level REALLY makes you a sucker <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=";)" /> ), or Wrack (not familiar w/ it in the completes, but IIRC it's a humorous but albeit too limited evil spell that is melee touch and only works on humanoids by causing them severe horrific pain, is it the same?).Polymorph, aside from being one of the best spells in the game, has a lot of versatility which is a boon to a sorc, and you can use it to buff the melee people as well as yourself, so I'd say that's the top pick.  Others are all pretty good, I'd take Solid Fog over Ice Storm and definitely not both.  Also don't like the damage on orb of force, especially if you're already packing magic missile for when you need force damage.  That reminds me...you may want Empower Spell instead of Maximize.  It's sort of worth the cost, unlike Maximize, and it shines on d4 +x type variable numbers (since it multiplies the entire thing).</blockquote>
