Hey, so I'm playing in another game, homebrew campaign with evil theme. I'm playing a NE Ifrit Sorcerer (fire elemental bloodline) that's currently level 7 now. Here are the basic stats off the top of my head (don't have my char sheet right now)
Str 10
Dex 15
Con 12
Int 12
Wis 8
Cha 20
Trait: Magical Lineage
Feats: Eschew materials, Metamagic empowered spell, Eldritch Heritage (Arcane), Improved Familiar (Fire Mephit)
Just came in so aside from basic necessities, just have a ring of sustenance right now and roughly 6k gold.
Now I've been reading this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qUkVlonpJHQhy9jqicCuJDw-kmc1S3eY98GANjI lDkI/edit
I don't quite understand the damage figures listed in there. From what I was thinking, empower spell basically adds on 50% damage, and maximize means every variable comes out highest (as in all the d6 in a fireball will be 6). "At 7th caster level, a maximized empowered fireball is 5d6+75" Where do those numbers come from? Shouldn't it be 7d6?
Also, don't really know much about familiars. Mostly got it for the 'fluff' aspect I suppose, but it would be nifty to find some use for it, as I hear mephits are some of the more useful familiars.
I guess some optimization ideas would be appreciated. Just one side note, I talked to the DM who said it would be fine for me to cast spells in elemental form.

I chose fireball for magical lineage. Although I haven't really used any sort of metamagic feat or declared anything yet so i could probably just pick something else lol.
Most importantly, I still don't get the damage numbers. Shouldn't a 7th level caster doing empowered maximized fireball be 10d6 (7d6 + half so 3d6) and maximized is (10x6) 60 damage? Where the hell is this +75 damage coming from? I don't see anything about bonus damage.
