If you download and install the iwd2 "ease" modpack, and install all the features, I would suggest a druid instead of a sorc.

you will be a jack of all trades, master of everything.

great offensive spells (including a lot of spells previously assigned only to mage), good to excellent defensive spells, and even a good selection of "swiss army knife" spells.

that alone would suffice, but instead you also get uber shifting powers, as soon as you reach 5th level. become an instant tank by shifting into a yeti at level 5!

at level 10, become a treant and you won't take a scratch except on crit hits.

starting at level 12, you automatically start getting half-dragon forms (remember sherincal?).

seriously, you could have a lot of fun soloing a pure druid. if you also install the armor mod, then I would stick pure druid. if not, you might want to add a level of monk somewhere. still, I'd go true neutral pure druid.

recommended stats:

balance st, dex, con to be 14 or above (like 16 st, 15 dex, 16 con).
int at 8.
char at 3 (yeah, you're not going to talk your way through much; still put some skill points into diplomacy or intimidate)
put the rest into wisdom.

this will allow you to have at least some success in combat (ranged and melee) without having to shift (saving your shifts for when you really need them) and also allow you to use your arsenal of spells.

by the time you hit level 10, you will already pretty much be unstoppable, let alone when you start adding in your firestorm spell and half dragon forms.
