Preparation and execution: Sorcery point shenanigans and restingĪt sorcerer level 7, we get a base of 7 sorcery points (SP) and our spell slots are 4-3-3-1, from 1st to 4th levels.

We could also use freecast, but it’s currenly very buggy (sadly) We could optionally use mind sanctuary, but it wastes one of our bonus actions, and we wouldn’t want to cast 19 spells instead of 20, would we? Mind Blast for some extra firepower (2x damage if “Steeped in bliss”, which applies to enemies) Progression: I’d say go sorcerer 5 (at this point you’re already blasting 3 spells per character), fighter 2 (4 spells), sorcerer 7, then thief (5 spells).Īnything that boost initiative primarily, and then save DC secondarily.Ĭull the weak is great, as it makes enemies die sooner and damage adjacent enemies.

Thief 3: for an additional bonus action.In this game, initiative is a d4 and not a d20, so this is a huge boost and it’s pivotal to the build, since we want to go first always (we’re glass cannons).

Pick the feat Alert at level 4, that prevents surprise and gives +5 to initiative. At level 6, you get create water, which is also essential. As for spells, all you really need is lightning bolt, but fireball, ice storm and magic missile are good additions in case the main strategy doesn’t work for some reason.

Storm Sorcerer 7: pick quickened spell metamagic, the others don’t matter.

Everything else is dumpable, even CON, since we won’t be getting hit anyway. This way, you can outfit your guys with light armor and shields.ġ6 in DEX for the +3 initiative. But if you want added survivability for those first levels or those really rare occasions in which your enemies survive the first round, go with Shadowheart, Gale, Wyll, and a human PC. All 4 guys will have the same stats, spells, and strategy. Late game, since your average DC will be 18-20, you'll be doing upwards of 1000 damage. Each character casts up to 5 spells: 1 from the regular action, 1 from haste, 1 from action surge, and 2 from quickened spell, by using the thief’s bonus actions. With this party we can unload up to 20 level 3 spells in one round (almost always the first round, thanks to alert).
