[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9841316, member: 7030563"] I find a lot of wide variety in play styles. I think Sorcerer lends itself better to high damage, especially if multiclassed with Rogue. Twin spell is the cornerstone here as it essentially doubles damage. Even if you are just rocking Truestrike at level 11 that si going to be 2xWeapon+4d6 with quicken spell and you have a ton resources to use it pretty much at will. Add in a 3 level Rogue dip (Sorc8/Rogue 3) Sneak Attack and ready action and now it is 2xweapon+8d6 essentially at will. Wizards rely more on their subclass IME. I think in 2024 subclass often defines the Wizard role. All of the Bladesingers I've seen in 2024 are hard melee, either tanks or multiclassed rogue strikers (unlike Sorc they don't do Rogue well IMO). The control Wizards I see tend to go for Enchantment or Illusion or if they want to be a little Gishy without being mostly a martial then they take War-Wizard or Abjuration. Nothing wrong with a control Bladesinger, just pointing out my experiences. [/QUOTE]
