The magic users of the Dungeons & Dragons universe come in a few different forms. Although they often have other roles besides throwing spells, the Sorcerer class is overwhelmingly a damage dealer. This is their most common role, but creative players can also make overpowered Sorcerers that can heal, remove curses, and buff existing abilities. There’s always a way to make a class overpowered, and it starts from the moment players roll the ability scores. Then there’s the choice of a Background, Feats, Skills, and gear to make that Sorcerer a force to be reckoned with as the party’s magical damage dealer.
As part of the older Legacy content, every Sorcerer had a Draconic Ancestor that gave them an extra breath weapon and certain elemental damage resistance. Today, this has been upgraded as a subclass that is also referred to as Draconic Bloodline, and not every Sorcerer has access to it.
