[@Bishop] those ate considered energy attacks so yeah. As for hand to hand combat. I am not to sure that is a sorcerers field. Vivian can use her staff for melee but that is kinda simple compared to hand to hand combat. Especially when all the groups enemies will be wielding swords and axes. Can't really get close enough to punch something if its swinging a great sword at you.

 As for enchanted items for dexterity. I don't mind but same principle. Picking sorcerer, dexterity isn't the field you want to increase. Charisma or Wisdom are the abilities you want covered.
