Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steampunkette" data-source="post: 8313379" data-attributes="member: 6796468">Ohh... Now -you're- on to something, here...Make a few more cantrips to cover different areas at fairly small sizes (10ft cone, 5ft radius burst at range, 15ft line). Still typed damage, of course. Give them some secondary effects as well, have them target different saves and give them some single-target options...And then let them use their Sorcery Points to empower their cantrips in various ways. Like adding smiting damage to a cantrip, or increasing the radius or size by 1 square, or the range by 15ft per Sorcery Point spent.Want a Fireball? Take your fire-blast cantrip (5ft radius burst that deals 1d6 at 60 feet) slap 1 Sorcery Point for a 15ft range increase, slap 3 more points down to make it a 20ft radius, and then slap more Sorcery Points into it to increase the damage by 1d6 per point. Level 11 so you're already doing 3d6 it'll take 5 points to make it do 8. So that's 9 points... You'd need to completely revamp their sorcery-point economy but... wow.Would go a -long- way to making Sorcerers stand out from Wizards since they'd be able to scale their spells. They could make a 5ft radius 10d6 Fireball by sacrificing some Sorcery Points and Spell Slots so they don't hit their allies but absolutely roast the baddies in those 4 squares. Or make a massive ice effect that deals very little damage but creates a big patch of ice on the water.They'd need a Sorcery Point limit per turn... Could call it "Channel Casting" instead of true Spellcasting? 'Cause they're channeling tons of pure raw power into a teeny tiny magical framework!</blockquote>
