In fact, I was quite surprised bards got dex saves and was worried it would be a bit overtuned. Its not, but its still a big point for the bard. There is nothing more wasteful than not using sorcery points. If you take a long rest and you have sorcery points leftover, those sorcery points do absolutely nothing. If you have metamagics that cost 1 sp instead of those that can take 2-9 in one casting, they begin to feel less constrained. The ability to transmute slots to points and vice-versa makes it so you won't be running out as soon as you think. You just can't cast a spell or make an attack. You can still take the Help action, Search for something, or even use an object like a potion or any other magic item that uses an action to do something special. Metamagic does give an avenue in helping the party in a unique way. The simple Subtle Phantasmal Force can give an NPC a sudden "divine revelation" or a Subtle Major Image can stir a crowd. A wizard would be caught casting the spell and intelligent NPC's won't fall for it. And flexible casting, and the most cantrips natively, and a diverse spell list. The ability to cast fireball 4 times at level 5 is something absolutely no spellcaster can do except for the sorcerer. And he would still have spell slots left over for metamagic and general spellcasting. I don't see how having the most cantrips also isn't seen as something very strong. Cantrips are faster and more versatile than rituals and they can be spammed at-will. Having the ability to take Minor Illusion, Prestidigation, Mage Hand and still have room for Firebolt is incredible at levels 1-4, especially since spellcasters must rely on their at-will abilities more due to their spell slot shortage.</blockquote>
