[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4137168, member: 19675"] Before you continue, you need to ask yourself some questions: 1) Do you want a list of the most "powerful"/"popular" spells in that range? If so, Thanee has an excellent list floating around somewhere. As I recall, Sleep, Magic Missile, Grease and the like are prominently featured. 2) Do you have a strong character concept/heavy RP considerations that might shape spell selection? If so, please let us in on that info. 3) How much do you plan to play up the archer aspect? If you're serious, you might want to consider a few Ftr or Rgr levels to boost your number of relevant "archery" feats like Point Blank Shot, etc. You might even want to use the Unearthed Arcana variant Battle Sorcerer or the Warmage instead of the PHB Sorcerer if you're serious about archery but don't want to multiclass. Given all of [I]that[/I], you probably also want to emphasize Orb/Ray type spells that get a benefit from those archery feats. 4) What books do you have access to? DCv1, for instance, has "Bloodline" feats that are similar to Cleric Domains, adding to your spell list of spontaneous arcane casters of all kinds, among other things. In addition, there are all kinds of feats spread out over all kinds of books (both WotC & 3rd party publishers) that do things like add DCs to certain spells, give alternative class features, etc. [/QUOTE]
