So i am in a game for Baulders gate, which is going well. we are in Avernus! (yeah!) and we got a well-balanced party overall.(7 levels all of us) 1 Life cleric, 1 Shadow Monk 1 evoker 1 Articfer/Arcane trickers, 1 Veng Paladin/Divine soul and finally me
the Baker ( Draco sorc 4/Brightlock 3) Ne, face, and Blaster ( mm quickened EB). my character is NE with BG crimanal background., but playing the long game as the reward for saving Altheral and the duke has been put at 10K gold, a pardon, and minor nobledoms. (also we cleared out some cult of the dead three and dragon queen. so in end once he's done the party he plans to use all the info, gold and more to become a mastermind muahahaha) His personal code wont allow him hurt the party (aka we didnt want backstabbing ic) or hurt kids. (hey even evil needs a limit lol) and do to A fun combat. I am now a Wereboar. go figure i embraced it but my Alignment stayed the same.
Ok enough back story and party Balance. we were Home brewed and rolled with rerolling any 1's 4 dice, dropping lowest. and all of us rolled well (a few got 1 or 2 18s even) i did decently and in Half-elven
str 11 dex 16 con 16 int 15 wis 15 cha 19. But due to the Infection and Elven Accuracy, I am str 17 (till cured) dex 16 con 16 int 15 wis 15 cha 20.
currently, I know at 8 I am going 4/4 as the dm is allowing the new UA feats. and plan to take Metmagic for a total of 6 points with four metamgics at 8. which ain't bad considering he basically dual classed. things of note for char. Low ac (16) but decent hp for class ( will by 66 at 8). He's got a nice collection of cantrips. ( EB, booming blade, shocking grasp, and more for combat and utility). and Spells ( shadow blade, dragons breather, and enhance ability the most used.) Metamagics will be Quicken, subtle (already got and used more than enough) + 2 more. Invocations, Of course, are Agnoziging Blast ( mmm +5 damage good as most archers.) and Devils sight.
so finally the opinion part lol. we are most likely going to hit mid-teens in levels so 13-16 maybe?. so here is my 3 ideas. all 3 let me keep my roll as EB gattling gun and face. going. I am not playing him as much for optimization as more fun. but the same point don't want to weigh the party down. either way by 11 i got 3 or 6 )quickened) 1d10+5s a round for eb. and some nice mix.
1. Go rest of way Sorlock with Sorceror as Main goal. This will give me 6th (lightening drac) another ASI/feat which at 13 gives me 9th level sorcecr for nice spells, 4 metamagics, 111 points. and nice selection of spells with my BA the celestial locks minor healing and lesser restoration.
2. Go rest of the way Sorlock with Warlock as main goal. that give me 6th (fire/radiant mod), ASI ). which at 13 gives me 9th bright lock for major BA healing, same metamagic slots only 6 points, but can convert 2 5ths from pact. a decent mixture of warlock spells and invocations to add on ( 3 more on my standard 2 above)
or 3 one i am sorta favoring also an insane idea
3. Add in Bard till 4 on top the other 2? cause why the hell, not LOL. at 12 That's bard 4th (Asi), Jack of all trades, 1 skill, expertise, a college, takes my spells just as high as sorc but more spread out utility) song of rest, 5 d 6 bardic inspiration (ontop mY 5 HEALING D 6 ) both an LR
i am not caring about spells outside fun and utility at this point as my role as face and EB canon is pretty set. we won't go high enough to get 7th most likely 8th at all. so at most id get 6th level if I go straight sorc from then on. and that's if we get to 15 which we may not.
so which of the three would you do? and which college would go well with this character you think either way lol and what metamagics for options of Next 2 would you take.

Should probably move this to a character/theory-craft forum, not a rules forum.
