The damage output and HP totals and other numerical systems don't get a boost from being able to spend 1 sorcery point to get an additional resistance. Simply having fewer options is not necessarily a balance problem, or else the champion would be the weakest class in the game. 5e balanced on this paradigm would look like 4e with everyone having precisely the same resource management scheme and quantity of action-activated abilities so as to maintain strict option balance. Being able to negate 5 lightning damage because you have the option to is not more powerful than avoiding dealing 5 fire damage to your ally because you have the option to instead.What I'm saying is that it's not an increase in power. It's just an option. Additional options are additional options, not more power. Yes, a doubled-up dragon sorcerer has fewer options. This doesn't decrease their power in any way.</blockquote>
