Alternate Sorcerer - Full Class Update v3.2.0
Added 2022-02-19 21:26:38 +0000 UTCHello everyone! I’m very excited to share a rather large update for one of my favorite projects - the Alternate Sorcerer! I really love the idea of the Sorcerer in 5e, but (in my opinion) their mechanics don’t match the awesome flavor of the class itself. The Alternate Sorcerer has been a little side project of mine to make playing a Sorcerer really feel like you are magic incarnate!

Interesting! How would that work?

2023-03-14 18:23:24 +0000 UTCI noticed something pretty big about the Vampiric sorcerer, which is that after level 18, you can cast infinite 5th level blights, so long as the targets fail their save, and if they do, it only costs i think 2 or 3 sorcery points to cast it at fourth level, and from that point again, 5th levels if they fail their save. I know you said you were planning to revisit the alternate sorcerer, which will be awesome, but do you have an immediate fix for this or nah?

2023-01-31 02:55:38 +0000 UTCI just noticed a minor issue with this one: the Alternate Draconic Bloodline lets you use Elemental Spell for free to change a spell's damage to the damage type associated with the sorcerer's dragon bloodline, but most of the gem dragon ancestries (aside from sapphire and steel) have damage types that can't be affected by Elemental Spell. I guess the easy solution would be to give them Esoteric Spell instead?
