Build Notes

We start Sorcerer for proficiency in Constitution saves, taking the only Sorcerer subclass worth mentioning, then quickly take two levels of Soul Blade for medium armor and shield proficiency, and that sweet sweet Eldritch + Agonizing + Repelling blast. Then it's back to the Sorcerer train for the remainder.

This will be the go-to People and Stuff Blower-Upper (tm) of our otherwise not-in-your-face crew, but you'll better remember them from such spells as Entangle, Hypnotic Pattern and Sleet Storm, and hitting enemies who have the nerve to try to breach our personal space with some repulsion beams, and sending them back to the lockdown zone where they're supposed to stay.
