Sorcerers, however, are magic incarnate, able to wield spells almost instinctually.
Draconic Bloodline sorcerers are generally more resilient than your average spellcaster owing to their draconic parentage.
This allows Draconic Bloodline Sorcerers to be a little more aggressive on the battlefield than their counterparts.
We can alsofurther enhance this natural resiliencebychoosing the right race.
More on that later.
In return for this natural resilience, Draconic Bloodline sorcerers learn fewer spells than most other spellcasters.

Best Races For Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer
Several races provide beneficial bonuses to a Draconic Blood Sorcerer.
Below we have thepotential races ranked best to worst.
Dwarf
Skip Shield Dwarf as those armor proficiencies are unnecessary.
Poison resistance is also a big benefit here.
Drow Half-Elf is the best choice for the extra spells.
A skill proficiency and 25 percent additional carrying capacity are also nice bonuses.
Halfling Luck cuts out critical misses, and Brave provides advantage against being frightened.
A good pick overall.
Elf
Elf provides the same advantages as Half-Elf, but you get perception proficiency instead of shield proficiency.
Neat, but that’s all you get.
Half-Orc
Savage Attacks is completely wasted as sorcerers rarely attack with weapons.
Relentless, Darkvision, and intimidation proficiency are nice, but you get more out of other races.
