Loremaster’s notes

The Draconic Sorcerer is the "I am a Wizard but I can take hits" caster. Draconic Resilience (level 1) gives you +1 HP per level (cumulative with the regular Sorcerer hit die progression) and AC 13 + DEX mod. The AC is the killer — it means you don't need Mage Armor. The HP is gravy. Elemental Affinity (level 6): add CHA mod to one damage roll when a spell deals your draconic type (Fire for Red/Fire, Lightning for Blue/Lightning, etc.). At level 14, spend 1 sorcery point to also add CHA mod as resistance to the same element. Dragon Ancestor (level 14): you gain a 1/day wings feature (Fly speed equal to walking speed for 1 hour). Race doesn't matter, but Dragonborn doubles down: Fire Breath (1/day 2d6+CHA line) and CHA +2. By level 14, Fire Breath adds 1d6+4 to a fire spell on the same day. Race: any Dragonborn, Tiefling (fire variant), or Half-Elf for the +2 CHA + skill versatility.
