Additionally when you attack or cast a spell that deals damage of the type associated with your draconic ancestry, add your Charisma modifier to that damage.
Dragon Wings
Beginning at 10th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn. You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

At 14th level, you can channel the dread presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those around you to become awestruck or frightened.

New Sorcerous Origins
Sorcerer: The Hexblade
The Hexblade balances talents in combat and arcane spellcasting, the power of the hexblade often displays itself at an early age, frequently in the form of unexplained accidents or other incidents of bad luck experienced by those around the budding hexblade.
Though the hexblade is ultimately a self-taught practitioner, many receive rudimentary training from another arcane spellcaster, such as an older hexblade, eldritch knight, sorcerer, wizard or bard, before setting off on their own.
Though a capable melee combatant, the hexblade relies on opportunistic use of their spells and special abilities to augment this role in the group.
This is somewhat of a remake of the 3rd edition version of the Hexblade but as Sorcerer origin as conceptually they are similar to each other.
Hexblade's Curse
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:
- You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
- Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
- If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your Sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).
You can use this feature a number of times equal your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Hexblade Spells
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Hexblade Spells table. Each spell 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 a conjuration or a evocation spell from the sorcerer, paladin or ranger spell list.

Spell selection
The spells I chose are based off of the original 3rd edition Hexblade class spell list, some of them are the exact spells while others are approximations to spells in that list.
War Magic
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast one of your cantrips in place of one of those attacks.
Armor of Hexes
Starting at 10th level, your hex grows more powerful. If the target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you, regardless of its roll.
Infectious Hex
When you reach 10th level, your Hexblade's Curse spreads from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature cursed by your Hexblade's Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated. When you apply the curse in this way, you don't regain hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.
Improved War Magic
At 14th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast a spell in place of one of those attacks.
Master of Hexes
Starting at 14th level, you've mastered the art of tethering misfortune upon your foes. Once per turn, immediately after dealing damage to the target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse, you can force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, the creature has disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and its attacks deal only half damage. These effects last until the start of your next turn.
