[QUOTE="Ramaster, post: 6156070, member: 6687585"] I agree with all this. Human with arcane bloodline is mechanically the better choice. If the pointbuy is 20 or 25 then I would suggest that you go for that CHA 20. Otherwise, it will leave you with very little points to buff you CON and DEX. a 20 pointbuy human sorcerer would look something like this (racial adjustment take into consideration): STR 07 - 07 - -4pts DEX 12 - 12 - 02pts CON 14 - 14 - 05pts INT 10 - 10 - 00pts WIS 10 - 10 - 00pts CHA 18+2 - 20 - 17pts That DEX 12 can be safely move to INT or WIS, depending on your preference (I would advice to keep it on DEX, though) With 25 points, bump that 12 to 14 and increase INT or WIS (I would advice WIS) to a 12. If the pointbuy is lower, then the starting CHA 20 is not worth it, move it to 16 and redistribute the rest of the points. For the first three levels, you should pick additional HP with your fav. class bonus instead of one more cantrip. Cantrips aren't worth it, 4 is more than enough. Spell choice makes or breaks a sorcerer, and the correct management of metamagic feats on higher levels will be essential to your blasting potential. There is a sorcerer guide on the SRD somewhere that has great advice on spell choice and metamagic, try to look it up. [/QUOTE]
