Origin & Identity

• Race / Subrace: Githyanki
• Background: Soldier
• Guardian: Vlaakith's Whisper

Lae'zel's martial upbringing survives the respec; she still tanks approval by demanding decisive action, but Storm Sorcery lets her project that dominance across the battlefield.

Class Path

• Main Class: Sorcerer (Storm Sorcery)
• Primary Focus: Elemental Burst & Metamagic Support

Storm Sorcery keeps mobility high and rewards spellcasting near enemies—perfect for a frontliner accustomed to melee range while still embracing ranged nukes.

Spellbook & Cantrips

Lean into lightning/thunder synergies that reward proximity and repositioning.

Cantrips

• Shocking Grasp — melee zap that steals reactions; ideal for disengaging.
• Fire Bolt — bread-and-butter ranged damage with ignition potential.
• Ray of Frost — speed control while kiting melee threats.
• Booming Blade — punishes enemies who chase her after she moves away.

Level 1 Spells

• Magic Missile — reliable force damage for finishing high AC targets.
• Shield — reactionary +5 AC keeps her alive when frontline pressure hits.

Storm Sorcery's Tempestuous Magic grants free repositioning after casting leveled spells—perfect for baiting opportunity attacks without provoking.

Proficiencies & Kits

Skills

• Arcana — supports lore checks while bridging the gap with Gale.
• Insight — gauge dialogue threats and loyalty shifts.

Tools & Weapons

• Longsword Training — keep it for RP moments or when you need melee back-up.
• Nautiloid Trinkets — flavourful but optional; she prefers staves once the build settles.
