Did anyone main Sorceror "Wild Mage"

[Amateur Nitpicker]

Like im getting pummled or just killing myself with random spells. I am doing Act 1 level 4. Cast misty step and my wild surge decided to cast Fireball directly at my the face, wiped out my party and Game Over -_-

I am. But I'm also getting some levels in paladin. In fact, you should start with two levels in paladin for the heavy armor proficiency and the smites.

Then level 5 sorcerer for the fireball and level 3 spellslot goodness.

Then level 5 paladin for the multiattack.

I mean, a lot of the wild magic surges are super powerful. Getting a free action to cast a second spell in a turn or all of your allies getting +1 to their weapons until the next long rest can be massive boons. The downside is that the "fireball yourself" option exists. I think it's pretty fair, given how lenient this game is with failure. Like, I'm on tactician and can't help but stock up on dozens of healing pots and never using revivify scrolls.

[Yes Indeed!]

On-demand advantage is huge, and Wild Magic Surge is a lot more merciful in BG3 than in 5e. Count your blessings.

That's fookin' hilaripus bruh, welcome to Wild Magic

Fun fact: I haven't tested this in BG3 yet, but if you multiclassed as an Evocation Wizard/Wild Magic Sorcerer in 5e, then the Evo Wizard's feature Sculpt Spell would also apply to your Wild Fireball!

I think that every spell level should have it's own Wild Magic table.

Fireballimg ypurself and tpk'ing the party just results in a reload. While it's good for a laugh the first couple times, after that it's justbstupid.

You shouldn't be able to accidentally Fireball yourself unless you are actually high enough level to cast Fireball.

In fact, I would replace that effect with: "Cast a random spell from the list of spells you already know, targeting and centered on yourself. Spells that cannot target you or center on you will be ignored.ç

So, like, you could totally Hold Person yourself, or Sleep yourself, or Magic Missile yourself, or even possibly cast a buff on yourself. As long as the spell can be targeted or is an AoE spell and is already in your repertoire, it would be fair game.

I turned into a sheep while fighting a whole goblin camp. It was glorious.

Probably best sorc subclass so far, and most fun.

No, I went with Draconic. Because having themed elemental powers, passed down through dragon heritage, sounded way cooler than the magical equivalent of bowel incontinence.
