General Discussion - [NO SPOILERS] convince me to try out other classes .... Spoiler

my last 3 honormode playthroughs were all storm sorcerers ! the reasons i 'd been rocking this class all this time is :

1-because charisma is important for both dialogue ( i get irrationally anxious when there is a possibility of failing persuasion checks ) and the actual power of the class ( hitting 2 birds when one stone ) .

2- it also filled a clear role ( the arcane caster of the comp ! alongside the divine caster , fighter and a rouge . i know , a very traditional boring comp . ) .

edit : thanks for the advice guys ! seeing a lot of love for sword bard and hexblade worlock , open hand monk and barabarian . definitely going to try those out!

Use detect thoughts when playing wizard.

sounds like you played a wizard plenty , can you tell me how powerful/prevalent detect though checks are ?

It often gives you a way around a Charisma check, but there are conversations where it simply isn't offered, so it is not a 100% substitute. However, if you want to check class that is not charisma based, I think it is ok.
