[QUOTE="Yunru, post: 6476551, member: 6780961"] The combo, if it can even be called that, is simple: at level 5 a Sorcerer has 5 Sorcery Points, 4 1st level spell slots, 3 2nd level spell slots and 2 3rd level spell slots. Salvage all but the 3rd level nets you 15 Sorcery Points (obviously not at the same time, max 5). Converting those 15 into 3rd level slots leaves us with 5. Mostly tactics for avoiding the downsides. With your speed doubled it's easy enough to run into range, attack and then retreat. Watch out for opponents who don't seem to have done anything, they may have readied actions (just let your teammates tear those ones to shreads). I don't actually have any fleshed out builds in mind, but a Fighter 1/Sorcerer 6/Assassin 13 can be powerful: attack with the Haste action and ready an attack with your normal to double up on your Sneak Attack. Or a straight up EK Fighter 11/Sorcerer 9. Allows you to alterate between cantrip + two weapon attacks (war magic + haste), or a leveled spell + one weapon attack, or simple four weapon attacks. Hell, EK Fighter 11/Sorcerer 7/Warlock 2 can fire of Eldritch Blast and follow it up with two weapon attacks, for high static damage. Other builds... Fighter 1/Dragon Sorcerer 14? You can fly, launch spells and make a weapon attack. Two if you're into Hand Crossbows and Crossbow Expert. [/QUOTE]
