Sorcerers are flexible when it comes to casting spells. Finally, Silent Feathers gives me proficiency in Stealth. Nimble Flight gives me a flying speed equal to my walking speed (30) and the ability to make a Dexterity saving throw when falling (DC 10) to hover in place if I fall. Then, I gain Magic Sight to cast detect magic as a ritual. I can choose to build with a +2 Charisma/+1 Dexterity ability score bonus. However, owlfolk (UA) can give the same edge of darkness with the ability to fly. Plus, the drow offer inherent magic like dancing lights and fairy fire that I can use in combination with my sorcery spells. Fey Ancestry gives me advantage against being charmed and immunity to magical sleep. However, the extra Dexterity can keep my lightly-armored character alive in many situations-not to mention the increased AC. Naturally, sorcerers pull from Charisma for spellcasting. Therefore, drow and Unearthed Arcana’s owlfolk sound like fun options.ĭrow elves gain a +2 Dexterity/+1 Charisma ability score bonus. I want to blend my dark sorcery with a naturally dark character. Therefore, I’ll lean into these elements in gameplay, creating a creeping dark sorcerer. I’m close to the grave, pulling my sorcerous origin from the Shadowfell and beyond. The darkness is my realm, giving me thematic elements of a spooky spellcaster.

Introduced in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, the shadow sorcerer is an interesting mixture of rogue and spell slinger.
