Meme build I was brainstorming last night, focusing on the optional racial feat to learn a free sorcery cantrip with them.

Starts with Sorcerer 1, Warlock 4 (Or the other way around, the net gain is the same but you get the warlock cantrips faster.

- Draconic Sorcerery gives 1 cantrip of our choice from Sorcerer

- One level of sorcerer gives 4 cantrips. Going for Divine Soul Sorcerer here

- 4 levels of warlock gives us 6 cantrips (normal warlock progression being 3 at level 4, pact of the tome giving 3 cantrips from any spell list)

With Divine Soul being able to pilfer cantrips from the cleric list as sorcerer spells, and tome pact being able basically do the same for every other class and make them warlock spells, this nets out to be a character that can come with Druid and Cleric cantrips all while remaining CHA SAD, on top of having the large selection that sorcerers already have and the ok selection warlocks have.

Other ideas to make this just a little more ridiculous?

- A level in Bard (2 cantrips, one of which is vicious mockery because that's their only exclusive cantrip)

- Magic Initiate for 2 cantrips (These care about the ability score dependencies so it'd be best to go with magic initiate if you wanted to pick up cantrips that don't rely on ability scores, like Guidance or Shape Water)

Assuming leaning in to those shenanigans, that makes a level 6 character with 15 cantrips that are mostly SAD. Otherwise, just going with the sorlock side of things leaves 11 - sorlock magic initiate leaving 13.

Of course, their actual spellcasting power would be pretty poor outside of their warlock levels or upcasting their first level spells into their warlock slots... which are still only second level. But it's a thought experiment that if someone really wanted to optimize around, doing something like 1 level in sorc, then warlock all the way to 5 before doing something like going back to sorc or just going further in to warlock would retain the majority of the shenanigans this build comes front loaded in; you basically end up with a character that has cantrips from every major caster class (not mentioning wizard because their cantrip share with sorcerers is basically the same) being SAD.
