How do you only have 207 subs? This channel is great. Straight forward good info presented in a no fluff but entertaining way. I love how you think outside the box. Perfect for how my group plays.
Tieflings make such great sorcerers. You can flavor text them so well with the different variants. Maybe look at the ua for the abyssal Tiefling maybe there might be somethings you would like!
I have reborn 14 shadow sorcerer 6 undead warlock aspect of the moon and devil sight. It almost lich and as enough spell slots to fight anything. I have a copy of this for a bbg. The bbg is reborn that become a lich. 20 shadow sorcerer/ 9 undead warlock with a lots of spells to. And it tome is the book of vile darkness.
Can you polymorph the hound? Its stats would change but wouldn't the disadvantage stay since that's not tied to the state block and more of a magical effect? Thoughts?
That’s pretty smart. Being a sorcerer gives you that ability especially if you take the right meta magics. Subtle spell charm person will easily get you into various places.

Great guide! I'm working on building my shadow sorcerer around the Shadow Blade right now so this was a nice overview of the class and you pointed out some good uses and applications for it I hadn't thought of - keep up the great work!
@@TheSinisterheroes thanks! I do plan to make use of it. Have an interesting idea of trying out combining shadow sorcerer and hexblade warlock making use of the extended spell metamagic kinda like in Twisted Tentacle Tavern's video except since it'll be my hex weapon I can use charisma for both weapons 🙃
Ok I'm actually going to take this opportunity to make a Feywild equivalent of the shadow sorcerer and I dub it the Fey blood sorcerer Enchanting illusion 1st level When you cast an illusion spell of 1st level or higher you can spend 1 sorcery point to cause enemies who can see the illusion to make a charisma saving throw equal to your spell casting DC and if they fail they are charmed by the illusion until the spell ends or until they take damage Charming manipulation 6th level If there's a charmed creature within 60ft on your turn you can make a persuasion check with advantage and if you succeed you can tell them to do one thing as long as it doesn't involve self harm you can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus regaining all expended uses on a short or long rest Gift of the Feywild 14th level When you finish a long rest you can choose one of these three abilities and you keep it until you finish your next long rest 1: you have immunity to the charm condition until your next long rest 2: you have fairy wings that gives you a flying speed of 60ft until your next long rest 3: when you use the persuasion check skill you can spend 1 sorcery point to have the creature your persuading make a charisma saving throw equal to your spell casting DC or be charmed by you for a number of minutes equal to your proficiency bonus Home of the fey 18th Level Once per long rest you can create and halluciary terrain within 60ft of you that lasts for 1 hour while other creatures are within the area they have disadvantage against being charmed and you have advantages using the persuasion skill against them So what do you think Sin is it worthy of the Feywild or is it a complete disgrace against the fey?
Also I thought of 2 things to do with my Erdman family character concepts give Aria the meta magic adept feat to represent her husband's magic influencing her even further and with Dusty instead of using the clockwork soul sorcerer you can use the Rune child sorcerer since it gets a similar feature to the clockwork soul sorcerer's 6th level featuring at first level so instead of Dusty's build taking up until level 10 for it to grow into it's own it would only take until like 7th level instead and the Rune child still has access to abjuration spells like armor of agathis so the full build still works
You this would work really well in a heavy rp campaign. The level 6 ability is pretty strong. Like really strong. Consider you would have access to subtle spell and charm person. More so in a heavy role playing campaign. You could also throw something in that your charm and illusion spells bypass immunity and resistance to those spells, so long as the target isn’t a construct. Which would really make this more viable in a balanced campaign between roleplaying adventuring and combat. Its a very hard thing to work illusions. Especially with certain DM’s. I’d like to see more abilities that support that and this definitely takes some steps in the right direction. Definitely worthy of the feywild!!! Like all homebrew builds remember test and retune the idea, sometimes you never realize how powerful some thing is

Thank you!!! I just started it takes a while to get some traction. I mean I am not even a year in yet.
Excellent breakdown!
- The Innkeeper
Thank you !!!
Love it. I would mix it with a tiefling and ask the dm to have his appearance of mini-nightwalker 😁
Tieflings make such great sorcerers. You can flavor text them so well with the different variants. Maybe look at the ua for the abyssal Tiefling maybe there might be somethings you would like!
Ahhh that'd be so cool
As a DM, I love this idea. Maybe you could multiclass with a bard and be a mini-streetwalker 👁️👄👁️
I have reborn
14 shadow sorcerer
6 undead warlock aspect of the moon and devil sight. It almost lich and as enough spell slots to fight anything. I have a copy of this for a bbg.
The bbg is reborn that become a lich. 20 shadow sorcerer/ 9 undead warlock with a lots of spells to. And it tome is the book of vile darkness.
I love the way you build characters!!! How do you keep getting lucky with these super high level campaigns?
@@TheSinisterheroes my dnd group usually plays to 20 as a norm
Let me tell you there are so many people who wish they could be in your group
@@TheSinisterheroes we like to have characters at 20 because most of are guys play mmo, stragy games, and RPGs so we try bring are characters to life
Can you polymorph the hound? Its stats would change but wouldn't the disadvantage stay since that's not tied to the state block and more of a magical effect?
Thoughts?
I can’t see a reason why not. Here is the thing why poly the hound when you can poly the enemy ?
@@TheSinisterheroes honestly who knows, but there's always that wild circumstance when you might want to lol.
Critical Role is still a thing?
Yeah it is still going
Sounds like a good character to make as a spy or information gatherer
That’s pretty smart. Being a sorcerer gives you that ability especially if you take the right meta magics. Subtle spell charm person will easily get you into various places.

The sorcerer is one of those classes where if your creative and able to try and focus your spell selection you can do incredible things.
The silence spell works surprisingly well on these types of characters. Some devious implications
Especially if you consider how dangerous it is being the only one who can cast spells in the area
Great video
Thanks!!!
Great guide!

Thank you! Just a heads up do not forget about the thrown property of shadow blade, it might be very beneficial for you.
@@TheSinisterheroes thanks! I do plan to make use of it.

Ok I'm actually going to take this opportunity to make a Feywild equivalent of the shadow sorcerer and I dub it the
Fey blood sorcerer
Enchanting illusion
1st level
When you cast an illusion spell of 1st level or higher you can spend 1 sorcery point to cause enemies who can see the illusion to make a charisma saving throw equal to your spell casting DC and if they fail they are charmed by the illusion until the spell ends or until they take damage
Charming manipulation
6th level
If there's a charmed creature within 60ft on your turn you can make a persuasion check with advantage and if you succeed you can tell them to do one thing as long as it doesn't involve self harm you can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus regaining all expended uses on a short or long rest
Gift of the Feywild
14th level
When you finish a long rest you can choose one of these three abilities and you keep it until you finish your next long rest
1: you have immunity to the charm condition until your next long rest
2: you have fairy wings that gives you a flying speed of 60ft until your next long rest
3: when you use the persuasion check skill you can spend 1 sorcery point to have the creature your persuading make a charisma saving throw equal to your spell casting DC or be charmed by you for a number of minutes equal to your proficiency bonus
Home of the fey
18th Level
Once per long rest you can create and halluciary terrain within 60ft of you that lasts for 1 hour while other creatures are within the area they have disadvantage against being charmed and you have advantages using the persuasion skill against them
So what do you think Sin is it worthy of the Feywild or is it a complete disgrace against the fey?
Also I thought of 2 things to do with my Erdman family character concepts give Aria the meta magic adept feat to represent her husband's magic influencing her even further and with Dusty instead of using the clockwork soul sorcerer you can use the Rune child sorcerer since it gets a similar feature to the clockwork soul sorcerer's 6th level featuring at first level so instead of Dusty's build taking up until level 10 for it to grow into it's own it would only take until like 7th level instead and the Rune child still has access to abjuration spells like armor of agathis so the full build still works
