Faerie Heart Sorcerer
Old as I am, I likely have a few hexbloods, warlocks, and faerie hearts running around the multiverse and stirring up trouble. Perhaps you're one, dear reader?
— Tasha
Your bloodline is suffused with cosmic chaos. That power arises from the Feywild, where you or someone from your lineage became entangled with the fey. Perhaps someone in your family bargained with a faerie and you are now the manifestation of that deal. Whatever its origin within you, the power of chaos may seem unpredictable to others, but to you, it is something wonderful to be harnessed.
Faerie Magic
1st-level Faerie Heart feature
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Faerie Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an conjuration or an enchantment spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
Faerie Spells
| Sorcerer Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | faerie fire, friends, tasha's hideous laughter |
| 3rd | calm emotions, nathair's mischief |
| 5th | catnap, summon fey |
| 7th | confusion, dimension door |
| 9th | dominate person, modify memory |
In addition, consult the Manifestations of Chaos table and choose or randomly determine a way your connection to chaos manifests while you are casting any of your sorcerer spells.
Manifestations of Chaos
| d8 | Manifestation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your skin turns a vibrant, gaudy color. |
| 2 | Shimmering rainbows appear behind you. |
| 3 | Your hair billows, even in an area without wind. |
| 4 | You grow fur and a tail like that of a woodland animal. |
| 5 | Your spellcasting focus temporarily takes the form of a Tiny glowing mushroom. |
| 6 | Spectral, chittering forest animals hover around you. |
| 7 | Flowers bloom in your hair and then wilt away. |
| 8 | The sound of giggling pixies can be heard by you and those affected by your magic. |
Create Chaos
1st-level Faerie Heart feature
Your connection to the Feywild allows you to manipulate the forces of chaos in the world around you. When a creature you can see within 60 feet of you makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to invert the d20 rolled before any modifiers are added, consulting the Create Chaos table below. You use this feature after the roll has been made but before the effects of the roll are resolved.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Create Chaos
| d20 | Inverted Result | d20 | Inverted Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 11 | 10 |
| 2 | 19 | 12 | 9 |
| 3 | 18 | 13 | 8 |
| 4 | 17 | 14 | 7 |
| 5 | 16 | 15 | 6 |
| 6 | 15 | 16 | 5 |
| 7 | 14 | 17 | 4 |
| 8 | 13 | 18 | 3 |
| 9 | 12 | 19 | 2 |
| 10 | 11 | 20 | 1 |
Instigator of Mayhem
6th-level Faerie Heart feature
You can tap into the magic of the Feywild to aid or injure a creature. As an action, you can expend 1 to 5 sorcery points to harm or heal yourself or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you, choosing from the two options below.
Harm. You deal psychic damage to the target. The psychic damage dealt is represented by a number of d8s equal to the number of sorcery points expended.
Heal. You restore hit points to the target. The hit points restored is represented by a number of d8s equal to the number of sorcery points expended.
Once you have used 5 sorcery points on an option in this way, you can't use that option again until you finish a long rest.
Dance of Disarray
14th-level Faerie Heart feature
You can perform a wild dance and unleash the powerful chaos within yourself. As a bonus action, 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 through visual illusions and perceive the true form of shapechangers within 60 feet of you, provided the creature isn’t behind total cover. Your eyes turn into sparkling kaleidoscopes or turn white and milky like a crystal ball.
- You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed, and you can hover. As you fly, you sprout spectral butterfly or pixie wings.
- You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and you can breathe underwater. Moreover, gills grow from your neck or fan out from behind your ears, your fingernails become long and dirty, or you grow slimy scales.
- Attack rolls against you have disadvantage as your body becomes a blurry form. If you are incapacitated or your speed is 0, this effect isn't active.
Mystical Explosion
18th-level Faerie Heart feature
You can unleash your faerie power as a mind-altering explosion. As an action, you can teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. Immediately after you appear, each creature of your choice within 30 feet of the space you left or entered must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If a creature is fighting you or your allies, it has advantage on this saving throw.
On a failed save, a creature is charmed by you for 1 minute, until your concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating on a spell), or until it takes damage, as it experiences joyous visions of revelry. A charmed creature has to use all of its movement on its turn to dance in place.
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.
