Sorcerer Class Overview – Solasta 2

Sorcerers are powerful spellcasters with access to a wide range of spells. While their arcane knowledge is not quite as widespread as that of Wizards, Sorcerers have a natural ability and attunement to magic. They can use this talent to modify their spells.

Please note that, for now, the info in this section is a Work in Progress and partially speculative. It will be refined when Solasta II’s early access launches.

Here is what your Sorcerer will start with at Level 1 in Solasta II:

  • Weapon Proficiencies – Daggers, Darts, Quarterstaves, Light Crossbows, Slings
  • Armour Proficiencies – None
  • Saving Throw Proficiencies – Constitution & Charisma
  • Skill Proficiencies – Choose 2 from Arcana, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Persuasion, Religion
  • Spellcasting – You can cast spells and cantrips from the Sorcerer spell list. You will unlock more powerful spells as you level up.
  • Shield – Allows you to gain +5 Armour Class for 1 turn and defend against Magic Missile, using a Reaction. Costs a Spell Slot.
  • Magical Crafting – You can brew herbal remedies and use enchanting equipment.
  • Subclass – Choose which subclass your Sorcerer will use.

Mana Painter Subclass – Solasta II

Born out of the mana starvation that followed the cataclysm, certain dwellers of Solasta learned to drain magic from all that surrounded them; locations, objects and even people. They learned to channel scarce mana to cast spells, create potions or scrolls. Whereas their enemies call them mana stealers, they are truly artists of magic.

Your Mana Painter subclass will grant you the following additional features as you level up.

Level 2

  • Mana Drain – Inflicts (1d10 + Charisma Modifier) Force Damage on hit, and you regain 1 Sorcery Point.

Level 3

  • Mana Shield – You gain THP whenever you use a Spell Slot.

Level 6

  • Mana Absorption – Add your Charisma Modifier to Saving Throws against spells.
