Best Mods For The Sorcerer Class

Sorcerers in Baldur’s Gate 3 are elemental powerhouses who can rain hell down upon their enemies in a conflagration of spellfire. Their metamagic makes them feared spellcasters with the ability to deal twice the damage of any other caster class in a single turn.

The best mods for Sorcerers in BG3 are the ones that either add new subclasses on top of Draconic Bloodline, Wild Magic, and Storm Sorcery, ones that give them more spell slots or sorcery points, or ones that give them new spells to cast.

8 Cosmic Sorcery

Downloads: 11,600

Cosmic Sorcery adds a new subclass for Sorcerers, one that’s inspired by the Astral Plane, space, and the cosmos, using spells that affect space/time instead of the elements. Best of all, these spells don’t replace the original spells Sorcerers typically have access to but add on to them, giving the Cosmic Sorcerer the most tools to get a job done.

The Cosmic Sorcerer subclass is quite overpowered, much more so than the standard subclasses. To balance it, players may need to introduce some difficulty-increasing mods or play at Tactician difficulty.

Sorcerer Subclasses Combined does what it says on the tin, combining the unique attributes of all three Sorcerer subclasses into the Draconic Bloodline. This means that at level 1, the Draconic Sorcerer will not only obtain Draconic Resilience but Tempestuous Magic and Wild Magic as well.

For players hesitant about the inherent uncertainty that comes with adding Wild Magic to the mix, the mod author offers an option to combine only Storm Sorcery and Draconic Bloodline subclass features. Additionally, this mod also gives Sorcerers the ability to learn spells from Scrolls, giving this class a lot more options.

6 Blood Sorcery – A Sorcerer subclass

Blood Sorcery adds a new Sorcerer subclass, one that’s based around using blood and gore to power incredible spells. Blood Sorcerers become empowered when standing on a blood surface, and the potency of their spells increases if their enemies are bleeding.

Instead of simply relying on their innate magic powers, Blood spells require the spellcaster to sacrifice a bit of their health to fuel them. The mod adds 12 new Blood Spells, each damaging the caster in addition to the target.

5 Feat Every Level and Optional Spell Slots

Feats are huge power spikes in Baldur’s Gate 3, with most classes only getting three of them throughout a playthrough: once at level 4, then at level 8, and then again at level 12. This mod allows Sorcerers (and other classes) to get one new feat at every level, which ends up being 12 feat at max level.

Additionally, players are also given the option of increasing the base amount of spell slots they obtain, either 2x or 4x the base amount. These changes are applied to all characters, including companions, drastically increasing the power of the entire party.

4 Phoenix Soul – Sorcerer Subclass

Downloads: 33,762

The Phoenix Soul mod adds a brand-new fire-themed subclass to Sorcerers in Baldur’s Gate 3, empowering their abilities with fire-type spells both at long range and up close. Phoenix Soul Sorcerers gain the ability to imbue their attacks with fire damage, revive from fatal attacks with 1 HP, and deal AoE fire damage in an area around the caster every time a fire spell is used, among other powers.

The subclass features of the Phoenix Souls revolve around the powers of an eternal flame and rebirth. They can be extremely overpowered as a dedicated DPS as well as in a utility role. Best of all, this subclass gains the passive ability to ignore fire resistance on enemies, ensuring that their specialized spells and attacks always find their mark, even in unfavorable conditions.

3 Shadow Magic – Sorcerer Subclass

The Shadow Magic Sorcerer subclass revolves around using the power of darkness and the immaterial plane to rain death on his enemies, using custom Shadow spells and effects to flesh out the subclass, making it something to fear.

Shadow Sorcerers can see through Darkness of all kinds, just like the Warlock’s Devil’s Sight. In addition, they can summon an extremely powerful Shadow summon at level 6 called the Hound of the Ill Omen, who has the ability to impose Disadvantage on all enemies in a radius around his being, essentially making all enemies near it supremely unlucky. The Shadow Sorcerer also has a max level of 20 instead of the regular 12, making this extremely suitable for modded playthroughs.

2 Sorcerer Unleashed – The Bringer of Doom

Downloads: 176,702

Sorcerer Unleashed gives a huge boost to the Sorcerer class by improving their early game through increased spell slots and Sorcery Points at levels 1 and 3. Additionally, players can also choose to automatically obtain Light Armor proficiency and the Warcaster feat at level 1 for free.

The Evocation Wizard’s signature ability, Sculpt Spells, is also on the docket, allowing Sorcerers to freely spam Fireballs upon groups of enemies without worrying about friendly fire. And finally, this mod also gives Sorcerers an additional Metamagic choice at level 3.

1 Mystra’s Spells

Downloads: 467,700

Mystra’s Spells is the spiritual successor to the 5e Spells mod, adding 132 new spells to Baldur’s Gate 3, an absolute must-have for any spellcaster playthrough, Sorcerers included. The spells are based on what’s available in the Dungeons and Dragons 5e ruleset, with the aim of importing all these spells to BG3.

Best of all, the new spells respect the limitations of the game and are balanced around the power and effectiveness of the existing spell list. The new spells are meant to be neither stronger nor weaker than the pre-existing ones but only to give spellcasters like Sorcerers more options.
