So my friend is starting back up a campaign of his. We stopped due to losing a lot of players, but three of us are wanting to reboot it. We're re-tweaking classes to round out the party.
The party comprises a guild in which we own. We're currently level 2. My character was the "head" of the guild, even though everyone was a part owner in it. I was a cleric that spec'd in buffing our bruiser who is now gone.
We are starting at level 2, other party members include a scout and a bard. (the only specifics I know is that the scout wants to specialize in literal scouting, while the bard want's to basically become a spymaster type of character).
I want to build an interesting themed sorcerer, that can compliment the group.
Here's my thought process:
I have wanted to play a sorcerer for some time. I've done lots of wizards and other prepared casters. I also would like to have a theme.
I want a fairly strong theme to the sorcerer. Our table allows spells to be thematic without the spell thematics feat, as long as not actual bonuses are given to the spell and it makes reasonable sense.
I'm thinking about gishing my character out. With a lack of melee, there is a role for it, also I've never got to do this outside of a one-shot campaign. I like the idea of dual cutlasses, but am unsure on how to incorporate this.
Some Ideas I've had so far for themes (sadly cold has been done though it is my favorite):
Blood sorcerer: Go more towards two handed weapons. Pick up blade of blood and other such spells.
Lightning sorcerer:(the one I'm thinking of strongly): get TWF, and specialize in spells that allow you to move around the field at ease. jump into the swiftblade prestige class. Refluff thunderlances to be something more suitable. (because thunderlance? aww yeah)
I'm at a loss of ideas, and am open to any suggestions. I'm having some serious builder's block.
