Fire or Efreeti Bloodline


Advice


I'm playing an Ifrit sorcerer in a "not serious campaign" and I wanted your guy's opinion on the pros and cons of choosing either the fire (elemental) bloodline or the efreeti bloodline. Also, in what ways can I make use of the elemental body or giant form spells as a sorcerer?

I am aware fire is a dangerous element to specialize in due to it's frequent resistance and I will be giving myself alternatives to cast for those scenarios.


I like primal(fire) best. Since most of the good blast spells already are firebased. A meta rod to change the damage type or a few spells with other focus than damage is important because fire immunity is so common.


Due to fire affinity the elemental bloodline is the best choice for an ifrit sorcerer. Treating your CHA as two higher is a huge advantage. The bloodline arcana allows you to change any spell from other elements to fire. So what you do is to choose non fire spells for your spells. Don’t go with fireball, but instead take lightning bolt. This allows you to effectively have two spells for the price of one. Another good option is to choose the feat elemental spell. While this does use a higher level spell it gives you even more options. For example if I have Elemental Spell (cold) and I take Lighting Bold then I can cast it as fire or electricity, and by using a 4rd level slot I can cast it as cold bolt. The saving throw for the spell is 1pt higher than a sorcerer with the same CHA. The only time you should take fire spells is when your bloodline spell requires it.
