Chris? In front of the camera?

Okay, who rolled on the wild magic table?

[lucasm.]

Wild Magic? I think you mean "Jesus take the wheel!"

[filnn]

This guy is so zen, so soothing! He should of done the Monks segment.

“Unless you blew up your party, then you sent your damned self...”

[jobiwan]

So that’s what Chris looks like...

One caveat on Mage Armor over Shield: If you're a Sorcerer with Draconic Ancestry, you'll get the effects of Mage Armor for free with your Draconic Resilience class feature, so no need to waste your selection on this spell.

OPTION ONE:
"You're a Wizard, Harry!"
- [silence]
OPTION TWO
"You're a Warlock, Harry, and your patron is Voldemort..."
- "Oh, man!"
OPTION THREE
"You're a sorcerer, Harry!"
- "Great, I can skip getting killed at Hogwarts on a regular basis!"

Was literally looking up stuff about creating sorcerers when the notification popped up. Perfect timing!

[Kuripants]

If you have an RP heavy game, I cannot overstate how good Subtle Spell is for getting out of Social encounters going badly

[Prince__Teclis]

That little ding always cheers me up. Is it like that for anyone else?

[TheChiefwiggy]

Subtle spell is a good way not to get Counterspelled, and to dispel/counterspell without being noticed. Probably my favorite role-playing one, and a very protective one to take in a mage-heavy campaign

"No one chooses sorcery; the power chooses the sorcerer."
*PC suddenly wants to multiclass into sorcery*
"Okay. Despite you being a Noble who has their entire family tree mapped out dozens of generations back, and nearly your entire life being watched by your guards, somewhere in this retro-active change you gained this power"

[missellaneous]

Encouraged character relevant spell choices over min-maxing. 10/10

[realafan]

Fun fact! Tiberius aside; Travis, Sam, Liam, Ashley, Laura, Taliesin, and Marisha have altogether played EVERY class in the Players Handbook (plus Matt's Bloodhunter) except the Sorcerer.

I think of all of them; Travis would consider Shadow Sorcery due to the Hound of Ill Omen and his love of Werewolves.

[OneEyedRyuujin]

i have a half elf storm sorcerer that i am having a great time with. "Hey, guys. You can all fly now." Favorite person in party now.

[Anergyne]

Here's a freebie for all you 5th level sorcerers out there: Twinned Haste. It's quite possibly broken, especially if you cast it on two of your weapon-using buddies. Greater Invisibility is another great spell to twin at 7th level onwards.

[LlamaLaura]

I love sorcerers, especially wild magic sorcerers. Rolling on a random table makes for such funny moments

[rudesby]

Wild magic surges are my favorite game mechanic of all.

[tristonanan]

I'm playing a Divine Soul Sorcerer as seen in Xanathar's Guide. All of the above plus being able to use cleric spells as sorcerer spells, as well as having a free first level spell based on what type of god blessed your soul is very nice. I'm really feeling this character, and this subclass is amazing. I wonder if once Handbooker Helper is done if they'll go onto different books.

[Glaswalker]

I bet he is shredded under that sweater!
