Cloudborn Origin
"We are the eternal voyagers. Our story binds the sea and sky, we, bound by sun to fall or fly. On its whims our journey planned, but always to return to land."
Palari Sanctum Inscription - Author Unknown
A child of the sky, you trace your heritage back to the great blue ceiling of the world. Perhaps you're a descendant of the legendary Ostorian Cloud Giants, or the byproduct of an ancestor's tryst with some all-powerful Djinni. Or perhaps you're simply child of of the great blue, the first of your lineage, blessed with a power you and your bloodline will carry down unto the world below.
Despite their attachment to the sky, Cloudborn do find themselves drawn to the earth on occasion, often seeking respite along fogbound shorelines. Some join coastal societies, often welcomed by local fishermen and their superstitious mothers. Others remain on the outskirts of civilisation, content in their solace, and safe behind the natural barrier that their mists provide.
Most Cloudborn lead nomadic lives, a primal calling between both sky and earth often tugs at their heartstrings and pulls them in grander trajectories. They rarely stay in one place too long, but for those few to whom they form a real attatchement, Cloudborn make for invaluable allies.
Cloudbourn Origin Spells
You gain spells at the sorcerer levels noted in the origin spells table. Once you gain an origin spell, you always know it, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you know.
If you have an origin spell that doesn't appear on the sorcerer spell list, the spell is nonetheless a sorcerer spell for you.
| Sorcerer Level | Spell |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fog Cloud |
| 3 | Skywrite |
| 5 | Gaseous Form |
| 7 | Freedom of Movement |
| 9 | Control Winds |
Light As A Feather
At 1st level, your body feels as light as air. You can use your bonus action to gain a hover speed equal to half your base walking speed. This effect last for a number of rounds equal to your charisma modifier. You can use this ability once, and regain the ability to use it after completing a short rest.
Clouded Vision
A child of the clouds, you feel most at home among them. At 1st level your vision cannot be obscured by magical or non-magical fog, mist, or clouds.
Carver Of Air
Carving out your place in the sky, at 6th level you can shape the air around you at your whim. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reshape the area of a fog cloud spell you are currently casting. Within the area of effect, you can create, remove, and manipulate fog in any manner you choose.
Among The Clouds
At 14th level, your latent powers have become second nature, and you’re able to control them with an unparalleled freedom. While concentrating on one of your origin spells, you can concentrate on one additional spell (this effect does not stack). When you make a concentration saving throw while concentrating on more than one spell, use the same result for both spells.

Into Thin Air
At 18th level, you can fully embrace your heritage, temporarily abandoning physical form. As an action, you can spend 5 sorcery points, dissipating into a misty state.
While in this form you have a hover speed of 60 feet, gain immunity to all bludgeoning, slashing and piercing damage, and your Carver of Air feature no longer requires sorcery points to use.
This form lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
