Now I'm picturing a Sorc subclass that's the happsburgified equivalent of that "master of illiteracy" 3.5 barbarian subclass
The one where you become immune to effects that are predicated on printed text of some kind, and where your capstone is becoming so inconceivably stupid that you become an active drain on the intelligence scores of anything within a mile wide radius of your dumb as a sack of rocks self.
I feel like this would absolutely need to be just between the player and the dm.. or maybe just the dm plans it and the player is revealed later to be so monumentally stupid that various things just work out because the enemies were drained with nobody really realizing, or the idea was so dumb it worked after some major hyjinks - and the party the whole time would just be randomly failing stuff, but completely unaware of why because they still act like a normal sorc…
The drain would have to come with some sort of “unearned confidence boost” buff that would partially negate the effect for players, though, or it would be really hard to get much done.
Messiah complex + dunning Kruger = political aspiration curse.
What about warlocks and their magical sugar daddy/mommy
Warlocks just employ the SaaS licence model, Spellcraft as a Service.
Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power. --sorcerers probably
what do you do when blood purity starts to impact your charisma score
Read some self-help books on how to be more likeable to boost charisma, then the magic will just flow right out of you 🫠
Surely sorcerers would be less incest because many of them have non-humanoid ancestors?
The non-humanoid ancestor only needs to happen once. After that, the sorc gene could be lost through outbreeding. Inbreeding increases the odds it keeps getting passed down.
Sorcerer's can manifest from the smallest element of ancestral magic, they don't need to inbreed.
They just want the excuse. Let them have this.
