Altered Arcana: The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer suffers from lack of choice. I think the idea is that the number of spells known is limited because metamagic should allow them to use those spells in situations where other casters would just choose a different spell. I love that idea, but I don't think that quite lives up to the hype. This is my first attempt to add enough power to metamagic so it can live up to it's goals of reducing the need for more spells.
Spellcasting Focus
1st-level sorcerer feature (enhances Spellcasting)
You can use your innate connection to your magic as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells. However when you do you manifest the marks of your origin that are difficult, if not impossible to hide. Your eyes might glow with an inner fire, an image of a dragon might manifest around your, a bright glowing halo might appear, or a swarm of psychedelic butterflies swirl about. Whatever it is, it's obtrusive and can be noticed from a significant distance.
Metamagic Options
3rd-level sorcerer feature (enhances Metamagic)
When you choose Metamagic options, you have access to the following additional options.
Massive Spell.
When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level +3 to target up to six creature within 30 feet of each other with the same spell (3 sorcery points if the spell is a cantrip). If the spell had a range of touch the range increases to 30ft. To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level. For example, Magic Missile and Scorching Ray aren't eligible, but Ray of Frost and Chromatic Orb are.
Strange Spell.
When you cast a spell with a level equal to your proficiency bonus or below that targets only humanoids you can spend 3 sorcery points to target any creature.
Change Log
- Increased the cost of massive spell to 3 and limited the range of the creatures effected to 30 ft.
- Added the proficiency bonus limit to strange spell.
