About this mod
"Sword meets sorcery" Gale likes to say. Yet, there's not much of that going on around in this game. This mod makes a few additions to make single-class sorcerer Gish builds more viable.

Sword Meets Sorcery
This mod attempts to make Sorcerer Gish builds a bit more attractive with a few changes. I am open to suggestions for further changes, but I give no guarantees
Draconic Resilience
This is merely a small change to the Draconic Resilience passive. While unarmored, a Draconic Bloodline sorcerer's AC is now 13 + Dexterity Modifier OR Constitution Modifier, whichever is higher.
This allows strength oriented sorcerers some leeway without necessarily having to multiclass to get medium or heavy armor as Dexterity is no longer a key factor in determining AC.
War Sorcery
This is a feature that can be chosen instead of one of your metamagic options. At first, it allows you to spent 1 sorcery point to bind to a weapon until your next long rest. You are always proficient with that weapon, and it has a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
Unlike Metamagic, which scales as you level simply by virtue of you gaining stronger spells, this option needs to grow stronger as you level to keep up with the mounting challenges:
At 5th level: You can optionally increase the cost to 3 sorcery points. When you do so, you can make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action whenever you cast a spell as an action.
At 10th level: You can optionally increase the cost to 6 sorcery points. When you do so the bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +2, and whenever you cast a spell of first level or higher, your next melee attack until the end of your turn deals bonus damage equal to the level of that spell.
FAQ
Can you make it give the sorcerer Extra Attack/use Charisma to attack with weapons?
I know this will be asked. Yes, I could, but I won't. There are many ways to build a Gish and extra attack/attacking with charisma is the Warlock's, where they offer you melee attacks as an alternative to cantrips after they've used up their few spell slots. For the sorcerer, I wanted instead for the weapon attacks to complement the spellcasting.
Compatibility
If you are using the Compatibility Framework, there will not be any incompatibility issues with other mods that modify the sorcerer or the metamagic lists. If any such mod is not also using the Compatibility Framework, make sure to load it after this mod, but before the Compatibility Framework.

Recommended Mods
5e Spells OR my other mod SCAG Cantrips - These two mods add cantrips that use your melee weapon and can be picked by the sorcerer.
Donations are always appreciated, but not necessary. I always make mods for myself first and foremost, a comment or an endorsement letting me know you enjoy my creations is more than enough. That said, if you want to throw money at me I'm not going to say no.
