Hey everybody!
The eternal conundrum for a sorcerer, what spells to pick. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I'm a human sorcerer with the Sage arcane bloodline, using all of my favored class benefits for more spells known. Our party of 7 also has an enchanter wizard but we have no real healer, just off-healers and wands (Shaman, ranger, myself, sometimes the bard if he shows up). I can bring over 3.5 spells on a case for case basis, but I will be following the 'Create your own spell' rules and the DM and I will be making tweaks as they are introduced.
If all is well i'd like to be a mix of blaster and BFC, focusing on debuffs and damage with a few buffs and less summoning or utility. The enchantress is very helpful with utility and buff spells, we'd prefer not to double up with the amount of party members we are working with.
Cantrips (9 + 3 favored class)
Detect Magic
Prestidigitation
Dancing Lights
Ghost Sound
Mage Hand
Acid Splash

Will probably change out color spray for a lesser orb of acid or true strike. Maybe trade identify for mage armor if you can trade away bloodline spells too.

This leaves 3 from favored class at levels 18, 19 and 20 that I can spend on anything 8th or lower as well.
Any suggestions? Big ones that i've missed? Thoughts and opinions?
