We shall discuss the Sorcerer class in the Dungeons & Dragons 5e role-playing game. What are the benefits of playing the character class of Sorcerer? Does playing a Sorcerer have a down side? How should one properly play the Sorcerer class?
Where the wizard is the master of having the right spell for the situation at hand, the 5E sorcerer is the master of shaping the spells he has to fit.
5E sorcs are now the only class with metamagic, abilities that change the way spells work.
Most sorcerers do very well as blasters, focusing on the direct approach of bringing enemies down with waves of lightning and fire.
