It depends on what type of character you want to play (blaster, controller, melee focused, etc.). What is your main class?
The meta magic is one of the major sorcerer features, so I would try to at least dip 3 levels. You don’t get another major class feature until 6th level, so unless you want to focus on gaining sorcerer levels for a while, I’d stop at 3 levels or gain a feat at 4th.
9th level spells are super cool. But even if your campaign is going to 17th - 20th level, you won’t be able to use them that often and will only have them a few sessions before the campaign ends. They’re a good capstone for your spellcaster, and some of them are an amazing nuke for the final battle. But choosing damaging 9th spells seems like a waste. Even though calling meteors from outer space to smite your enemies is cool, other spells like wish and time stop could be more useful. For the people who disagree with me on this: I know. I don’t want you to waste your time trying to prove that you’re right, we can all have our own opinions.
I hope this helps! Just ask if you need any follow up.

Hey all,
So when cross classing with a sorcerer how many levels do you dip ?
Is it more than 3 ?
How important are 9th level spells to you really '?
Thx
