Best Spells for a Sorcerer?
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2016 8:28 pm
I've never played very long as a sorcerer on any servers before. I'd either just take a single level to qualify for RDD or get bored after playing them for a bit. This time around I'm rather enjoying the RP, so I think I'll actually be getting to 20 at the very least. Before I always went for what I believe is called a gish (melee fighting with buffs) build? This time, I'll probably be stuck with low bab as I don't plan to use Dragon Slayer or Eldritch Knight PrCs.
So far my spell selections per level have essentially been buffs and 1 attack spell. I also always have 1 summon spell (because they're so useful on BG) that I would swap out later once I got the next highest summon spell. For example, I picked Summon Creature 1, then swapped it out once I was able to after getting Summon Creature II. My play style in the early levels has been buff, summon creature, fight melee with long sword and use attack spells to quickly kill enemies when necessary.
Now that I'm going to be hitting 10, what should I go for?
