Good day.
I got the idea in my head to build Xerath, from League of Legends. (The first incarnation, before they messed with his lore)
Originally, I though him a Wizard, until it struck me that Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer was a much better fit.
What I have so far is a rough outline. It'll be reliant on DM buy-in, since I want to make him a Warforged. Refluff him to be an 'energy construct' to have the visuals pan out.
Perhaps have him floating an inch or 2 above the ground (No impact on movespeed, and Difficult Terrain still slows him down. Pure aesthetic).
Anyway, using a standard 27 point-buy, I thought about putting his stats out like so:
Str: 12 (+1)
Dex: 14
Con: 13 (+1)
Int: 10
Wis: 8
Cha: 15
Why dump Wis instead of Str? Well, I thought about trying to cheese it a bit and MC into Redemption Paladin. Since I'm not going to be wearing armor, the 3rd level ability I'd get that sets your AC at 16+Dex would effectively give me an AC of 19 with the stats as I have them laid out right now. With the +1 to AC from Warforged, of course.
I also figured I'd give him Blue Dragon ancestry. Mostly because as the player have a thing for Lightning based magic.
The chosen Cantrips at 1st level would be:
Shocking Grasp
Chill Touch (Or Ray of Frost, haven't settled on this one yet)
Fire Bolt (Because outside of Eldritch Blast, what else?)
Light/Mage Hand/Minor Illusion. Something utility at least.
The chosen spells would be Shield and Chromatic Orb.
I'd ask the DM if it'd be okay if I found a way to earn the 'Call Lightning' spell at some point, as it'd be pretty fitting for the character to have. But that's entirely in the DM's court, so I won't even put that one up for discussion here, since I am not counting on ever getting this spell on a Sorcerer.
Any multiclassing, if at all, would not happen until after I've hit 6th level Sorcerer, possibly 6th. So I have at least some 3rd level spells to work with.
I would love to get your guys' feedback on this idea. I know it's not optimized, but I think it might be a decently fun character to play as.
I'm not married to the Blue Dragon thing. I realize that Fire has a much more supported spell base.
The Metamagics I was thinking about grabbing at 3rd are Distant and Empowered, btw. Again, thematic picks.
