D&D 5E This is a directory of posters who think the sorcerer needs fixing

[MoonSong]

Let's see, IIRC we had...

Sorcerer (Dragon) 1st-5th level, face-to-face / Roll20 game
Sorcerer homebrew (Elder Blood homebrew) 3rd level, Pbp game
Sorcerer homebrew (Storm) 3rd level, Pbp game
Sorcerer (Elementalist homebrew) 11th level, Pbp game

Most of them are homebrew?

I think sorcerer should get access to most all metamagic abilities. Of those he picks a smaller set of preferred metamagic abilities that he can use once or twice per short rest for free.

I'm on board with this, just add even more options.

Yep. My homebrew doesn't overhaul the mechanics though, it's more of a flavor/thematic change to model characters in the Witcher universe called "sources." The core mechanics are still the PHB sorcerer.

Do they involve switches to type of elemental damage?

Ok. It's been a while, now this is a wiki thread. Hopefully we can start putting nice stuff in there too.

Ah, the legacy sorcerer that everyone wanted over the playtest 'were-dragon'. Watch out for what you wish for.

But anyways. The only problem that I find in game is the way DMs work Tides of Chaos. Whenever I join a game, I remind myself to ask how the DM handles it.

I don't think the Sorcerer needs fixing, I think it needs a complete overhaul.

But I also know the only thing that matters is if and when WotC issues a new official dead-tree class revision. Anything else and I'm not interested.

But that doesn't mean I can't wish you good luck with your thread.

Can I place you on the list? I'm holding out for a hero too, but in the meantime discussion of this keeps the issue visible and it might come a time when raw numbers could be needed. Let's try to keep in touch if only so the eventual 6e doesn't catch us unaware?

Give them all metamagics or more sorcery points + spell point system (combine with sorcery points). Would make it feel a lot better.

Also, make wild magic guaranteed instead of at DM whim.
