I am creating a themed sorcerer. 3/4 of the spells on said spellcasters spell list are suppose to be force related. Meaning anything with force descriptor of course. Can you help me fill this list up?

PrC: Argent Savant

(Note: Cantrips not included, and of course some spells that are not force shall sneak in, they always do...)

Here is the current:
0Daze(PHB)
0Light(PHB)
0Read Magic(PHB)
0Detect Magic(PHB)
0Ghost Sound(PHB)
0Mending(PHB)
0Prestigitation(PHB)
0Message(PHB)
0Stick(UND)
1Shield(PHB)

Blast of force? From the force domain in complete divine.
The whole Bigby's hand line and Repulsion.

-Resilient Sphere. Never leave home without it.
-Bigby Hands.
-Chain Missile.

The Argent Savant PrC is somewhat good, but loses one spellcasting level. Anyway, combine it with Arcane Thesis'd Wings of Flurry shenanigans. It deals respectable damage.

Blade of Force and Invisible Needle. They're not overly useful in and of themselves, but they'll increase your caster level with Force spells, which will be very useful for you.

Solo Sorcerer's Guide

This guide is pretty good advice. If you are too lazy to read, here's a saving tip: You don't want redundant spells in your Sorcerer spell list. Teleport does the same thing as greater teleport, with a miss chance often ignorable. The Bigby Hands are also pretty redundant. Go for versatility.

Otiluke Telekinetic Sphere is too high level for my tastes, keep the Resilient (it's a shame that 4th level spells are so wonderful, you can never have enough of them)

Forcecage is pretty potent, but awfully pricey for a Sorcerer. You want spells that you can cast many, many times a day. Some might say 'spam'.

I think it was introduced into DnD in the Spell Compendium though.

Either that or I'm thinking Chain Missiles.

Your advice is old and tired. Behold the new face of sorcerer optimization:

This is not suppose to be optimization. this is suppose to be a completely specific sorcerer, who is redundant. The spell list won't really matter in game play as combat is not really existent, the game is almost 100% RP. Thus a build that is optimized for combat such as you are suggestion is not neededable. though some spells from these guides have snuck in of course.
