Paladins and Sorcerers both rely on a high charisma. Instead of starting out as a straight up Sorcerer, begin as a Paladin for 2 or 3 levels...and then start advancing as a Sorcerer. Paladins are a fighter type, so your first 2 or 3 levels will give you a maximum of 12, 24, and 36 HP at levels 1,2, and 3 with a 14 constitution. Though you won't be able to cast spells while wearing it, you will automatically and permanently be able to wear all armors and use all martial weapons...for situations where magic just isn't as good as duking it out with sword and shield. Paladins also gain immunities to fear and disease within the first 3 levels. HTH
