Hey all,

Can anyone recommend a good guide that describes the mechanics of the sorcerer? I'm not looking for a build guide but rather something that explains stuff like spell slots and sorcery points and what your choices are during level up (what learning new spells and forgetting old one does). I had some weird behaviour during level up from lvl 2 to 3 which I'm trying to understand...

TIA

Check if they say something about being an attack versus something like "DEX save". Attack ones roll against armor class. The other ones use the targets save. If you know multiple it is worth having one be an attack and another against a save. This is because some heavily armored enemies may have had saving throws. This will come up WAY more often than varied damage resists or vulnerabilities.

That makes sense

I’ll look it up and maybe read a bit more on it. I’m sure it all is logical, I just don’t have all the info. In DOS 2 this was a bit more clear but like I said I haven’t played DnD before.

I also picked up some staff today that boosted my stats so that should help.

Thanks!!
