Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ciaran" data-source="post: 775910" data-attributes="member: 756">Instead of Energy Substitution, you should try and convince your DM to let you create cold-based versions of your elemental spells from the get-go.  After all, when a sorcerer's spells are supposed to come forth from his inner nature, it doesn't make sense that a half-ice elemental would gain the ability to cast fireball, and would have to learn to turn that into a cold attack through study and training.So see if you can get icy grasp instead of shocking grasp, frosty sphere instead of flaming sphere, coldball instead of fireball, and so on.  You'll save a feat and avoid a good bit of cognitive dissonance, and your DM will be happy that you won't be able to toss a real fireball at his pet fire-vulnerable monster...  unless you pick up Energy Substitution to make your spells not cause cold damage.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />- Eric</blockquote>
