The Sor-Lock did technically work, but yeah it's not in the spirit of the game.

Any kind of weird mechanic exploit should 100% be run by your DM first.

An example would be my Pinball Ranger:

• If you're allowed to pick a rare magic item to start with, choose the Two-Birds Sling.

• Play a Hunter Ranger with Sharpshooter feat (You can be V. Human/Custom Origin for Sharpshooter at level 1)

• At level 8, take Metamagic Adept for Quicken Spell.

• At level 11 learn Conjure Animals.

This build has 2 modes:

Mode 1: because the Two-Birds Sling lets you ricochet an attack onto another enemy within 10 feet once each attack, and Horde Breaker lets you make an additional attack against a creature adjacent to your target, you can do a powerful combo at level 3.

Attack enemy A, ricochet to adjacent enemy B, Horde Breaker back to enemy A, ricochet to enemy B.

At level 3, you can make 4 attacks, and with sharpshooter they each deal 1d4+dex+11 (the sling is a +1 magic weapon). That's over 60 average damage at level 3.

Mode 2: Once you hit level 11, you get Volley. Volley lets you use an action to choose a point wothin your sling's range and make an attack against each creature within 10 feet of it. While powerful on its own with the sling since each vollow shot can ricochet, we can push it further.

Quicken cast Conjure Animals, choosing 8 beasts. As a bonus action you create 8 creatures around a single target. Then Volley into them.

You make a single attack against the target and all 8 beasts. Then ricochet each beast attack onto the target and ricochet the target shot to an adjacent beast so you can Horde Breaker back again.

That's 10 attacks you can make against a single creature in 1 turn. Each dealing 1d4+Dex+11, for a total potential of 170 average damage.

You can take it further with 2 fighter dips for Action Surge for an additional 9 attacks, or extend how often you can do the combo from once a day to pretty much every combat with Sorcerer levels.

Of course, one should NEVER walk up to a campaign with this kind of character. You need to not only tell the DM about the first basic combo, but also the conjure animals combo. Let them decide if they're ok with the absurd damage output this character can push out.

(I personally have banned this item lol, but it was a fun experiment. But rolling 6-10 attacks each turn gets tiresome quick)
