The Sorcerer Nobody Asked For

Golden eyes flashing, a human stretches out her hand and unleashes the dragonfire that burns in her veins. As an inferno rages around her foes, leathery wings spread from her back and she takes to the air.

Long hair whipped by a conjured wind, a half-elf spreads his arms wide and throws his head back. Lifting him momentarily off the ground, a wave of magic surges up in him, through him, and out from him in a mighty blast of lightning.

Crouching behind a stalagmite, a halfling points a finger at a charging troglodyte. A blast of fire springs from her finger to strike the creature. She ducks back behind the rock formation with a grin, unaware that her wild magic has turned her skin bright blue.

Sorcerers carry a magical birthright conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, some otherworldly influence, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. One can’t study sorcery as one learns a language, any more than one can learn to live a legendary life. No one chooses sorcery; the power chooses the sorcerer.

Raw Magic

Magic is a part of every sorcerer, suffusing body, mind, and spirit with a latent power that waits to be tapped. Some sorcerers wield magic that springs from an ancient bloodline infused with the magic of dragons. Others carry a raw, uncontrolled magic within them, a chaotic storm that manifests in unexpected ways.

The appearance of sorcerous powers is wildly unpredictable. Some draconic bloodlines produce exactly one sorcerer in every generation, but in other lines of descent every individual is a sorcerer. Most of the time, the talents of sorcery appear as apparent flukes. Some sorcerers can’t name the origin of their power, while others trace it to strange events in their own lives. The touch of a demon, the blessing of a dryad at a baby’s birth, or a taste of the water from a mysterious spring might spark the gift of sorcery. So too might the gift of a deity of magic, exposure to the elemental forces of the Inner Planes or the maddening chaos of Limbo, or a glimpse into the inner workings of reality.

Sorcerers have no use for the spellbooks and ancient tomes of magic lore that wizards rely on, nor do they rely on a patron to grant their spells as warlocks do. By learning to harness and channel their own inborn ability, they can unleash a never ending torrent of magic.

Unexplained Powers

Sorcerers are rare in the world, and it’s unusual to find a sorcerer who is not involved in the adventuring life in some way. People with magical power seething in their veins soon discover that the power doesn’t like to stay quiet. A sorcerer’s magic wants to be wielded, and it has a tendency to spill out in unpredictable ways if it isn’t called on.

Spellcasting

1st-Level Sorcerer Feature
An event in your past, or in the life of a parent or ancestor, left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic, whatever its origin, fuels your spells.

See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the sorcerer spell list.

When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one cantrip you know with a different cantrip from the Sorcerer spell list.

Spellcasting Focus. You can use a arcane focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your sorcerer spells.

Sorcerous Origin

1st-Level Sorcerer Feature

Choose a sorcerous origin, which describes the source of your innate magical power detailed at the end of the class description, or one from another source.

Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 2nd, 6th, 14th, and 18th level.

Font of Magic

2nd-Level Sorcerer Feature
You can effortlessly draw on your own well of innate magical power.

Surge of Power

2nd-Level Sorcerer Feature
You can exude a tremendous amount of power for short time. How this power manifests is dependent on your Sorcerous Origin.

On your turn, you can enter a surge of power as a Bonus Action. While surging, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on Constitution checks and Constitution saving throws.
• When you cast a spell that deals damage, you gain a bonus to the damage that increases as you gain levels as a sorcerer, as shown in the Surge Damage column of the Sorcerer table.
• When you roll damage for a Sorcerer spell you cast, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls.

Your surge lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious. You can also end your surge on your turn as a Bonus Action.

Once you have surged, you must finish a long rest before you can surge again.

Draconic Bloodline

Your innate magic comes from draconic magic that was mingled with your blood or that of your ancestors. Most often, sorcerers with this origin trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent. Some of these bloodlines are well established in the world, but most are obscure. Any given sorcerer could be the first of a new bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional circumstance.

Wind Speaker

1st-level Storm Sorcery feature
The arcane magic you command is infused with elemental air.

You can speak, read, and write Primordial. Knowing this language allows you to understand and be understood by those who speak its dialects: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.

Additionally, you learn the gust cantrip which does not count against your number of cantrips known.

Attenuating Tempest

1st-level Storm Sorcery feature
The might of the storm does not easily subside, which dampens harm done to you.

You gain a pool of d4s equal to 1 + 1/2 your sorcerer level (round up). When you take damage, you can use a Reaction and expend any number of d4s up to your proficiency bonus, roll them, and reduce the amount of damage you take by the sum total.

You regain all expended dice after finishing a long rest.

Surge of Power: Wind Soul

2nd-level Storm Sorcery feature

While surging, you have a flight speed of 5 feet times your proficiency bonus and can hover.

As a Bonus Action, immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. This movement does not consume your speed.

Surge of Power: Storm’s Fury

2nd-level Storm Sorcery feature

While surging, whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals lightning or thunder damage, stormy magic erupts from you. This eruption causes up to 2 creatures of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you to take lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your sorcerer level.

Heart of the Storm

6th-level Storm Sorcery feature

You gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. Additionally, whenever you cast an instantaneous spell that deals fire, cold, acid, or poison damage, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to convert that damage to lightning or thunder damage. Additionally, when you deal lightning or thunder damage you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to have that damage ignore damage resistance.

Storm Guide

6th-level Storm Sorcery feature

You gain the ability to subtly control the weather around you. If it is raining, you can use an action to cause the rain to stop falling in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on you. You can end this effect as a Bonus Action.

If it is windy, you can use a Bonus Action each round to choose the direction that the wind blows in a 100-foot-radius sphere centered on you. The wind blows in that direction until the end of your next turn. This feature doesn’t alter the speed of the wind.

Eye of the Storm

14th-level Storm Sorcery feature
You gain greater control over the raging storm that swells within.

As a Magic Action, you can create a 30-foot-radius sphere of raging air centered on you for up to 10 minutes, you fall unconscious, or you decide to end it (no action required). You are immune to all the negative effects created by the sphere, as you are the eye of this storm. You can designate any number of creatures to also be immune to the effects of this sphere.

Each creature in the sphere when it appears or that ends its turn there must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage.

Additionally, while the sphere persists, it has the following effects:

• The sphere’s space is considered difficult terrain.
• Heavy winds disperse gases and vapors.
• Ranged attacks targeting you gain disadvantage.
• Casting the gust cantrip against a target within the sphere causes the gust to bloom into a large blast of wind, the spell also effects all targets within 5 feet of the original target and if the targets are pushed, they are pushed up to 20 feet instead of 5 feet.
• When you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your Reaction (which you can do concurrently with your Attenuating Tempest Reaction) to force the attacker make a Strength saving throw against your Sorcerer spell save DC. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line up to 30 feet away from you. If you are surging, the attacker also takes 2d12 lightning damage on a failed save.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest, or you spend 8 Sorcery Points to use this feature again.

Wrath of the Storm

18th-level Storm Sorcery feature

You learn the Storm of Vengeance spell, this spell counts a sorcerer spell for you, and does not count against your number of spells known.

In addition, you gain the following feature improvements:

• When your Storm's Fury deals damage to a creature, you can expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to increase the damage dealt to that creature by 1d8 per level of spell slot.
• Your Eye of the Storm has heavy winds surrounding you, stabilizing you; you are immune to the prone, restrained, and grappled conditions for its duration.
• Your Attenuating Tempest dice become d6s instead of d4s.

Shadow Magic

Some features stolen from u/rain-junkie

You are a creature of shadow, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it.

The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul.

Divine Magic

1st-level Divine Soul feature

Your link to the divine allows you to learn spells from the cleric class. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a sorcerer cantrip or a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the cleric spell list or the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.

In addition, choose an affinity for the source of your divine power: good, evil, law, chaos, or neutrality. You learn an additional spell based on that affinity, as shown below. It is a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known.

Favored by the Gods

1st-level Divine Soul feature
Divine power guards your destiny.

If you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Surge of Power: Empowered Healing

2nd-level Divine Soul feature

While surging, the divine energy coursing through you empowers your healing spells. When you cast a spell that restores hit points, you can add one roll of your Surge Damage die to the amount of hit points restored by the spell.

Surge of Power: Heavenly Smite

2nd-level Divine Soul feature

While surging, when you cast a spell that deals damage, you can choose one creature damaged by that spell. That creature takes additional radiant (if your affinity is good or lawful), necrotic (if your affinity is evil or chaos), or force (if your affinity is neutral) damage equal to two rolls of your Surge Damage die and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded for up to 1 minute. A blinded creature can repeat this save at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you enter a new surge of power.

Divine Invocation

6th-level Divine Soul feature

You gain a fragment of power granted to you by your divine power source, based on your affinity.

• Good. Whenever you or an ally within 30 feet of you rolls dice to determine the number of hit points a spell restores, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to reroll any number of those dice once, provided you aren’t incapacitated. You can use this feature only once per turn.
• Evil. Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to drain some of their life essence. You gain temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + half your sorcerer level.
• Law. When you make an attack roll, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to forgo rolling the d20 to get a 10 on the die.
• Chaos. When you make a saving throw, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to reroll the save, and you must use the new result. You can use this effect only once per turn.
• Neutrality. When a creature targets you with an attack, you can use your Reaction and spend 2 Sorcery Points to force them to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target for the attack or lose the attack.

Otherworldly Wings

14th-level Divine Soul feature

You can use a Bonus Action to manifest a pair of spectral wings from your back. While the wings are present, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. The wings last until you’re incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a Bonus Action.

The affinity you chose for your Divine Magic feature determines the appearance of the spectral wings: eagle wings for good or law, bat wings for evil or chaos, and dragonfly wings for neutrality.

Martyrdom

18th-level Divine Soul feature

When you are reduced to 0 hit points, a burst of divine energy is released from you, affecting all creatures within 60 feet of you. A hostile creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or take 8d6 radiant damage, or half as much on a success. While, friendly creatures gain 8d6 temporary hit points.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Clockwork Soul

The cosmic force of order has suffused you with magic. That power arises from Mechanus or a realm like it—a plane of existence shaped entirely by clockwork efficiency. You, or someone from your lineage, might have become entangled in the machinations of the modrons, the orderly beings who inhabit Mechanus. Perhaps your ancestor even took part in the Great Modron March. Whatever its origin within you, the power of order can seem strange to others, but for you, it is part of a vast and glorious system.

Telepathic Speech

1st-level Aberrant Mind feature

You can form a telepathic connection between your mind and the mind of another. As a Bonus Action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You and the chosen creature can speak telepathically with each other while the two of you are within a number of miles of each other equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 mile). To understand each other, you each must speak mentally in a language the other knows.

The telepathic connection lasts for a number of minutes equal to your sorcerer level. It ends early if you are incapacitated or die or if you use this ability to form a connection with a different creature.

Psionic Spells

1st-level Aberrant Mind feature

You learn additional spells that do not count against your number of spells known. If the spells do not appear on the sorcerer spell list, they are none-the-less sorcerer spells for you.

Surge of Power: Psychic Wail

2nd-level Aberrant Mind feature
While surging, your spells can become overbearing, and difficult to resist.

When a creature is forced to make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw against a spell you cast, you can impose disadvantage on their save (no action required).

When you cast a spell from your Psionic Spells feature you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to modify the casting of the spell. This modified casting requires no verbal or somatic components, and it requires no material components.

Additionally, you can cast the Telekinesis spell at will without the need for verbal components, but you can't target a creature nor an item held or carried by a creature when using this feature.

Revelation in Flesh

14th-level Aberrant Mind feature
You can unleash the aberrant truth hidden within yourself.

As a Bonus Action or when you enter your surge of power, you can spend 1 or more Sorcery Points to magically transform your body for 10 minutes. For each Sorcery Point you spend, you can gain one of the following benefits of your choice, the effects of which last until the transformation ends:

• You can see any invisible creature within 60 feet of you, provided it isn’t behind total cover. Your eyes also turn black or become writhing sensory tendrils.
• You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed, and you can hover. As you fly, your skin glistens with mucus or shines with an otherworldly light.
• You gain a swimming speed equal to twice your walking speed, and you can breathe underwater. Moreover, gills grow from your neck or fan out from behind your ears, your fingers become webbed, or you grow writhing cilia that extend through your clothing.
• Your body, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, becomes slimy and pliable. You can move through any space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing, and you can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being grappled.

Warping Implosion

18th-level Aberrant Mind feature
You can unleash your aberrant power as a space-warping anomaly.

As an Action, you can teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. Immediately after you disappear, each creature within 30 feet of the space you left must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d10 force damage and is pulled straight toward the space you left, ending in an unoccupied space as close to your former space as possible. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t pulled.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 Sorcery Points to use it again.

Ignition

1st-level Phoenix Sorcery feature

Additionally, you gain the control flames cantrip. This cantrip does not count against your number of cantrips known.

Gift of Rebirth

1st-level Phoenix Sorcery feature

Surge of Power: Mantle of Flame

2nd-level Phoenix Sorcery feature

The Magic of Magic

1st-level Wild Magic feature

You learn additional spells that do not count against your number of spells known. If the spells do not appear on the sorcerer spell list, they are none-the-less sorcerer spells for you.

Additionally, the magic that suffuses you twists and turns in uneven, yet controlled patterns. When this feature or your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a sorcerer cantrip or a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the wizard spell list or the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.

To do so, you spend a number of Sorcery Points up to 1/2 the spell's level, rounded up (1 point if the spell is a cantrip). Choose a number of 5 foot squares up to the number of Sorcery Points spent that are within 5 feet of the edge of the area of effect. The chosen squares are added to the spell's area of effect.

Spell Bombardment
