So, while putsing around with my friend late one night, we came up with a fun character idea of a Kobold Draconic Sorcerer/ Thief and I figured "Hey, I could make this work". Using standard array and at a level 5 Sorc2/Rogue3, his scores are currently Str:10, Dex:17, Con:13, Int:8, Wis:10, Cha:14.

He's rockin spells like Message, Mage Hand, Dancing Lights, Prestidigitation, Jump, Shield, and Sleep. Now, I know that Jump is super bad normally, but being a Kobold with the hit to strength, I figured it'd be useful while doing roof-running and such, as for the rest of his spells, they are mostly distractions, diversions, or Get-Outta-Jail-Free cards, Shield if they can hit his 16 AC, Sleep for quiet retreats, and so on. I'm wondering if I should go for a level in Rogue next for the ASI, or if I should go for the Sorc level to get some more slots.

As for what I'm doing with him, I was kinda going an Arcane Trickster route, but his "Mother" is a silver dragon, so he's a Draconic Sorcerer (long story). I'm hoping to kinda get some of the vaguely Gish playstyle with him, but more focusing on buffs and debuffs so his inner Rogue can shine.

I like it. I don't think too many levels of sorcerer are needed - maybe level 3 for subtle metamagic. I think thief is really thematic for the kobold and will let him get away with a lot. Go nuts and have fun dude.

Hmm. It's not bad. You could probably put BB and GFB to good use.

Can I get sneak attack with either of those? I'm honestly still not 100% on how they work tbh...

Yes, provided you're using a weapon that qualifies for sneak attack
