have you considered a 2 level dip in Rogue for defense (Bonus action Disengage after you BB) and versatility (skills/Expertise)? If you're considering a 2 level dip in Fighter for offense.
You also get more slots to convert to SP for Quickening and Twinning. It's where you get a big power boost with 3rd level spells. So high SP cost and use of action surge aside and given viable targets, is there anything preventing you from action surging, twinning BB twice, and quickening GFB for a total of 5 SCAG cantrip attacks in a single turn?I'd go for the Sorc 5 first. Do you think it’d be better to go fighter 1 before sorc 5 or does it not matter much?Įdit: Another question. Thanks for taking the time to respond! I’m thinking take fighter 1 after sorc 5. Action surge is probably worth losing the 19th level ASI for, but I doubt I’ll take this character that far so doesn’t matter anyway. Getting that perfect setup will feel b***ss. Your hound of ill omen will very much help with spell save DC's at high levels when you can spare some slots/points. You can still boost Cha at levels 8 and 12. At level 5 that can mean 2d8 thunder damage extra or an enemy stays in its spot for a turn, a form of CC if used right. Mobile will make you a better BB user - you can get extra damage and/or avoid attacks of opportunity, depending on how you look at it. This helps you out with your spells of GFB, Ray of Frost, and. Spell attacks and spell save DC's go up by 1 (as do Cha skills). Do you think it would still be a good choice even if I'm not going to be mixing it up in melee as much at higher levels?Cha+2 will make you a better sorcerer. I considered mobile pretty heavily actually, but since I'm planning on going a more standard sorcerer route at higher levels decided not to take it. You know, I actually messed up and forgot that those stats were including using 4th level ASI for +2 Cha.

I Appreciate the feedback although, I would have appreciated it more if you gave some advice on how to fix the problem, rather than just saying that there was a problem.Įdit: never mind, now I see casting darkness for 2 SP and Hound of Ill Omen for 3 SP were the expensive metamagics you were talking about. I was initially going to take twinned and a different metamagic (maybe empower or subtle?), but I really wanted quicken before level 10 (the next time you can choose a new metamagic) and so took that one.
I'm not sure why you classify it as a "very expensive metamagic" considering 1 SP is literally as cheap of a metamagic as you can have. I get that twinned gets more expensive for higher level spells, but it'll only costs me 1 SP since I can't twin any of my 2nd level spells. You are correct that only having 4 sorcery points makes quicken pretty expensive at a cost of 2 however, twinned only costs 1 point per spell level and 1 point for cantrips, which gives it a little more potential use. Quickened and twinned sound great, but you'll never have the resources to use them. You only have 1 sorcery point per level, and your subclass already has two very expensive metamagics built in. Will probably do the gish route for levels 4-7.Įdit: initially had Cha at 18 because of considering level 4 ASI for +2 Cha I don't plan on going the sorcadin route, so will probably drop the gish approach later on and play a more standard sorcerer, which I don't think should be an issue in terms of build progression.Ĭurrently I have level 4 half-elf shadow sorcerer with the following (rolled) stats after racials:Ĭantrips: BB, GFB, control flames (thematic), ray of frost, minor illusionġst Level: Shield, Mage Armor, False LifeĢnd Level: Mirror Image, Darkness (shadow origins), Shadow Bladeīasically just looking for general thoughts on if I could improve this build for the next couple levels. I have a level 4 shadow sorcerer that, for the next few levels, will be making extensive use of Shadow Blade. I'm not here to start a whole new discussion on it, just for some general feedback. So I know there's already a lot of discussion regarding the topic of Shadow Blade and the various builds that it can work with.
