Wild Magic Sorcerer Rework
These rules and tables depict an alternate way to handle the effects of Wild Magic, both how a Sorcerer will make the d20 roll for Wild Surge, and how the effects of a surge will be handled. This is based off the idea of varying levels of chaos in your Wild Magic.
Why Rework Wild Magic?
The idea behind this set of rules is to put more control in the Wild Magic Sorcerer's hands while maintaining the intial concept of uncertainty and chaos. The original rules are relatively arbitrary and puts most of the Wild Surge control in the DM's hands. Most DMs either rule that a Sorcerer just rolls for Wild Surge every cast; or don't bring it up often enough, ignoring one of the core mechanics of this amazing sub-class.
Levels of Chaos
As stated above, this rework operates on the idea of there being levels of chaos in your Wild Magic; Inert, Semi Inert, Neutral, Semi Chaotic, and Chaotic.
These levels will represent how chaotic and out of control the magic your Sorcerer's Wild Magic is:
- When your Wild Magic is Inert, both the chances of triggering a Wild Surge and the effects that would follow are minimal. These would be momentary flashes of magic, only lasting a few seconds.
- As it rises to Neutral, you can expect roughly standard (vanilla 5th Edition) surge rates and effects.
- Once you reach Chaotic conditions, your chances of triggering a Wild Surge are at their highest, and the effects are the most wondrous, and dangerous.
With the system written below, the level of chaos in your Wild Magic will change based on a buildup of uncontrollable magic as you cast spells. If this doesn't appeal to you, check the next page for alternative methods of handling the chaos, or create your own that better reflects your Sorcerer's background or the source of their Wild Magic.
Wild Magic Buildup
As you cast spells, your Wild Magic grows out of control; a portion of the magic cast left behind perhaps, growing increasingly more volatile.
The Dangers of Casting Magic
Upon taking this subclass, your character begins in the Inert stage. As you cast spells without triggering a Wild Surge, the wild magic you wield slowly grows less stable. After casting 3 spells at your current level of chaos, move on to Semi Inert, then Neutral, and so on - increasing the likelihood that you trigger a Wild Surge as you cast.
Assuming you don't meditate between casts, casting 12 spells without triggering a Wild Surge would bring you from Inert to Chaotic. Triggering a Wild Surge resets your level of chaos back to Inert.
Meditation
After a lifetime with your Wild Magic, you aren't helpless against this buildup of unleashed magic.
You may spend time meditating to manage the magic trapped within you, calming it's current state and the amount of chaos in your Wild Magic one level (for example, from Chaotic to Semi Chaotic). The amount of time that you must spend meditating depends on your current level of chaos.
| Level of Chaos | Hours Required to Reduce 1 Level |
|---|---|
| Semi Inert | 1 |
| Neutral | 2 |
| Semi Chaotic | 3 |
| Chaotic | 4 |
You may reduce multiple levels of chaos during a single meditation, or spread it out over multiple meditations throughout the day.
Changed Features
Below are the two features that are changed with this rework, with Wild Magic Surge being the main overhaul, and Tides of Chaos being changed to put it's full effect completely in the player's hands. Use the rest of the subclass features as written in the Player's Handbook.
Wild Magic Surge
Starting when you choose this origin at 1st level, your spell casting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Read the details on pages 2 and 3 for specifics on how Wild Magic Surge operates.
Tides of Chaos
Starting at 1st level, you can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.
Any time before you regain the use of this feature, you can choose to roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher. You then regain the use of this feature. You must finish a long rest before you can force a Wild Magic Surge again.
Alternatives to Wild Magic Buildup
Perhaps the idea of wild magic buildup doesn't appeal to you, or doesn't match your Sorcerer's background or your world's setting. Here are a couple optional methods to handle levels of chaos in your Wild Magic.
Lunar Phases
One potential option is that your Sorcerer's magic is intricately linked to the moon and its lunar phases. Maybe Moonlight is your source of magic and getting too much makes it harder to control.
Waxing and Waning Chaos
On a Full Moon, consider your Wild Magic Chaotic. In the following 4 days (assuming a 30 day lunar cycle) as the Full Moon wanes, move over to Semi Chaotic. The next 6 days would be Neutral, in between Full and New Moons. After that, as the New Moon waxes, have 4 days of Semi Inert conditions, leading into the Inert New Moon. As the New Moon wanes and the Full Moon waxes, use the same concept but moving from Inert to Chaotic.
Chaotic Chaos
Perhaps the simplest and most fitting, another option would be to have your level of chaos be wild.
Daily Surprise
Number each level of chaos 1 to 5, with Inert being 1 and Chaotic being 5. Every time you finish a long rest, roll a 1d10 divided by two (rounded up). The result of that roll is how out of control your magic is that day.
Wild Magic Rolls
How it Works
A Wild Magic Sorcerer's control over their magic grows with use. As such, the chance to make a d20 Wild Magic roll depends on their experience with magic.
When you cast a spell as a Wild Magic Sorcerer, take your character's highest-level sorcerer spell slot, the level of the cast spell, and the level of chaos at the time the spell was cast, then use the Wild Magic Roll Table below to make the appropriate dice roll. On a 1, make a d20 Wild Surge Roll. If you roll a 1 on that, roll on the Wild Surge Effects Table starting on the next page.
Wild Magic Roll Table
| Cast Spell's Slot Level | Inert | Semi-Inert | Neutral | Semi-Chaotic | Chaotic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest Level Slot | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll |
| Highest Level Slot -1 | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll |
| Highest Level Slot -2 | d4 | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll |
| Highest Level Slot -3 | d6 | d4 | Always Roll | Always Roll | Always Roll |
| Highest Level Slot -4 | d8 | d6 | d4 | Always Roll | Always Roll |
| Highest Level Slot -5 | d10 | d8 | d6 | d4 | Always Roll |
| Highest Level Slot -6 | d12 | d10 | d8 | d6 | d4 |
| Highest Level Slot -7 | Never Roll | d12 | d10 | d8 | d6 |
| Highest Level Slot -8 | Never Roll | Never Roll | d12 | d10 | d8 |
| Cantrip | Never Roll | Never Roll | Never Roll | d20 | d12 |
Always Roll implies that you would automatically make a Wild Surge Roll when casting that spell, while Never Roll implies you would never make a Wild Surge Roll when casting that spell. Note that unlike vanilla 5th Edition rules, a cantrip can potentially set off a Wild Surge roll under Semi-Chaotic and Chaotic conditions.
For Example:
A 17th level Wild Magic Sorcerer's highest-level spell slot would be a 9th-level spell slot. Under Neutral conditions, if this Sorcerer casts a 9th-level spell, they would look at the Highest Level Slot row and see they would always make a Wild Surge Roll. After casting the 9th-level spell it is guaranteed that they make a Wild Surge Roll under normal circumstances.
If the Sorcerer casts a 5th-level spell under the same conditions, they would look at Highest Level Slot -4 and see that they need to roll a d4 after casting the 5th-level spell. On a 1, they would make a Wild Surge Roll.
If this same Sorcerer casts a 1st-level spell under Inert conditions, they would look at Highest Level Slot -8 and see that they would never roll under normal circumstances.
Wild Surge Effects
How It Works
Below is the Wild Surge Effects Table, which uses the expanded list by u/GrrGuru's vanilla-faithful chart posted here. When you make a d100 roll on this table, read the effect corresponding to the result's row, replacing the Bolded portion of the effect's description with the appropriate Bolded effect listed in the 5 columns to the right. For example, if you rolled a 1 under Chaotic conditions, it would operate as stated in the effects column, except for 90 seconds.
