5 Backstory Ideas for Your Sorcerer in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
The Sorcerer is the quick-casting, highly volatile arcane caster. Unlike the Wizard, the Sorcerer didn’t learn their magic through study.

The Sorcerer has lower HP than most classes, and has to be protected in combat, but will pay off by high damage ceilings. Now it’s time to come up with a few quick backstory ideas to help bring your character to life.

LOOK INSIDE
The streets were quiet downtown during the week. Most businesses were closed due to this global pandemic. Unsettlement and uncertainty for many had gloomed over. Restlessness indoors overcame, yet the need to connect to something other than your own surroundings was prominent. With an overcast of clouds and silence outdoors, some would say a great day for a reflective walk. You never know what thoughts or sites you are going to connect with, or find in this case.
