I just want to point out Monty has lost some weight is looking good way to go man props

[altair]

They missed the fact that Heightened Spell metamagic also now affects ALL saving throws of a spell rather than just the initial saving throw

2014 Monk and Sorcerer: We don't have enough points to do cool things

2024 Monk and Sorcerer: We have all the points to do all the cool things.

Kelly: It's less likely you're going to need to worry about your concentration or taking Resilient: Constitution...
Sorcerers start with Constitution Saving Throw proficiency, so they wouldn't need that Feat anyway :)

[phoenixinertia]

heightened spell also mentions ALL saving throws, which is huge for spells you're concentrating on that requires saving throws on their turns 😍

[matthewhelmers]

Monty's face as he considers Twinned Hold Monster... I feel your pain!

[brittanyanderson]

“Come to the dark side we have cookies” Why do I feel old now…

[Jasta]

Wild magic looks so fun, the majority (like 3/4) of wild surge results are either positive or harmless, and even the most of the negative ones are not terrible. you can pretty much spam wild surges in combat also by constantly using your tides of chaos advantage roll while casting spells. Very excited to try it out.

If you have a Bloodwell Vial, casting Arcane Vigor is a way to get back sorcery points in combat.

Oddly enough the thing I’m most looking forward to now is the new Sorcerous Burst cantrip. The choice of damage type and damage boost possibility feels very sorcerer to me.

[RoninXDarknight]

Homebrew idea for Twin Spell since being able to modify spells is kinda a Sorcerer's thing. If the spell can normally be up-cast to target additional creatures, it costs 1 Sorcery Point to target an additional creature. If the spell normally cannot target additional creatures via up-casting then it costs the base spell's level in Sorcery Points.

I can’t wait for the Warlock breakdown!

4:43 - Great attention to detail on MM: Quicken Spell. It is 2014 Bonus Action Casting Clause, snuck onto Quicken Spell.

[CecilQuetzalcoatl]

I think of innate sorcery more like going super saiyan or more often Terra's ability in Final Fantasy 6 to transform into an esper form to become stronger. Terra, being an esper hybrid, is quite literally the only natural sorcerer in the world of FF6

This was said by someone else in the comments of a different video, but it also would've been better to have a new shadow sorcerer and storm sorcerer in the phb instead of clockwork and aberrant. Clockwork and aberrant are already good, shadow and storm needed the update

[matthewschwoebel]

Colby of D4 is pro-Sorcerer now as well. Sounds like Chris aka Treantmonk stands alone in the Wizard camp. Agree (without book in hand yet), in actual levels of campaign play, Sorcerer is spellcaster royalty.

[matholos]

"Arcane Viger" works amazingly with "Bloodwelll Vile" item because it works on rolling hit dice not taking a short or long rest, so casting that spell will get you 5 sorcery point and some hit points👍

[PokeNaru]

Honestly the only thing I’m disappointed with the sorcerer is the subclass choices. I think the 2 added previous ones should have been storm and shadow sorcerers. Those need a little more of a glow up in comparison and just fit the sorcerer vibe quite a lot.

[gabrielfeldinger]

I'm with you Kelly, Sorcerer has been my longtime favorite class and I'm glad it got so much love in the revision!

[dabeef]

Out of combat the Wizard is still better than the Sorcerer thanks to the rituals they get for example Tiny Hut especially since they don't need to prepare them to cast them.

You know when Monty is happy of the changes in a class. Yesterday, he didn't bother to open the book for the ranger. Today, the book is already open! xD
