[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8863202, member: 7030563"] I think Constitution is more problematic than Charisma. AC is solvable with armor and that is available through every class and if you are talking about a GISH it is available through several subclasses too. Complications while doing something in armor sounds like it is going backwards to 3E and would overly restrict builds, unless I am misunderstanding you. Being able to get your character casting in Plate without problems is thematically one of the best parts of 5E. The problem with a Con-based sorcerer is this multiclasses well (too well) with Fighter which gets action surge that is a huge boost for a caster. I have not had any problems with Sorcerer Multiclasses and to be honest I have only seen one sorc multiclass Gish (a triple class Fighter-Arcane Archer/Rogue-Arcane Trickster/Shadow Sorcerer) and Shadow Sorcerer was only a 1-level dip. I've seen some Warlock-Sorc mutliclass builds but they have all been pure casters. We have so many Gish options available in 5E (Paladin, Ranger, Fighter, Wizard, Bard, Warlock all as single class builds, plus numerous more when you consider multiclassing). It is hard for me to understand what part of the dartboard you are trying to hit with your constitution Sorc gish. It seems the board is covered by darts already. [/QUOTE]
