Features:
Spellcasting - From within there was a power always dwelling within yourself that has been waiting to come out. How it found its way attached to your soul is dependent on every Sorcerer but it was likely that they had an ancestor make some bargain with or was bound romantically with a powerful entity that garnered them some boon. Occasionally siring a child has resulted in this effect but that is never common enough to have impacted the world regularly like a long lineage can. However, it’s when you take your 3rd Level in this Class you allow it to come forth in its entirety.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know 4 cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. You learn additional sorcerer cantrips of your choice at 4th and 8th Levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sorcerer table
Spells
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Sorcerer Spell List when you take this Class, gaining an additional Spell every time you take another Level in this Class. Each of these spells must be of a level equal to or lesser than your Maximum Level known from the table above, starting at 1st and increasing by 1 every odd level of Sorcerer that you’ve taken. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can replace any number of the Spells you know and replace them with other spells from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to pull the energy from within yourself and convince it to do as you wish. You utilize your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the Save DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
The Sorcerer channels magic through their body, they can’t utilize the arcane foci as other arcane spellcasters can but this also means that Sorcerers can cast Spells with Material Components even if their hands have other items in them
Sorcery Points
The table above shows how many Sorcery Points you have as well as what Level of Spell you’re able to cast, which is dependent on your Sorcerer Level as explained above. You spend Sorcery Points to cast your Spells, allowing you to modify how you utilize your magic with greater versatility, the amount to which can be seen below. When you do so subtract the cost (dependent on the Spell Level) listed below from your current Sorcery Points. For example, if a 1st Level Sorcerer wants to cast the 1st-level spell Chaos Bolt and has their maximum 5 Sorcery points you can utilize Chaos Bolt at higher Level, but you must decide on the number of sorcery points you’ll use before anything takes effect. You regain all your Sorcery Points whenever you finish a Long Rest. However, that if a Character is to multiclass into or out of the Sorcerer Class they cannot utilize their sorcery points to cast Spells gained as a part of these abilities gained from another class
Spell Cost
1st Level Spell - 2 sorcery points
2nd Level Spell - 4 sorcery points
3rd Level Spell - 6 sorcery points
4th Level Spell - 8 sorcery points
5th Level Spell - 10 sorcery points
6th Level Spell - 12 sorcery points
Metamagic - At 2nd Level you can twist your Spells’ capabilities and bend them to your sense of personality utilizing your flexible magic. Pick 3 of the options below at this Level, and another one at 4th, 7th, 10th, and 12th Levels to gain access to. When you gain a Level in this Class you can re-make these choices. However, you cannot utilize multiple Metamagic options that you know on a single casting of a Spell unless that Metamagic option specifically says so
Careful Spell - When you cast a spell that forces a Save, you can protect some of those creatures from the spell's full force. To do so, you spend a sorcery point and choose a number of those creatures up to your Charisma modifier. Those chosen automatically succeed on its Save against the spell.
Distant Spell - When you cast a spell that has a Range of 6m or greater, you can spend a sorcery point to triple the range of the spell.
When you cast a spell that has a range of Touch, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell 10m.
Empowered Spell - When you roll damage for a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of the damage dice (up to your Charisma modifier) but you must use the new rolls.
You can use this Metamagic even if you have already used a different one during the casting of the spell.
Extended Spell - When you cast a Spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend a sorcery point to triple its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.
Heightened Spell - When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a Save to resist its effects, you can spend 3 Sorcery Points to give one target of the spell Disadvantage on its first Save made against the spell. You can Spend an additional 3 as a part of this Ability to target a 2nd Creature if the Spell is targeting exactly 2 Creatures and doesn’t affect an area. If the Spell requires additional Saves you can use your Reaction when that Creature must remake that save to spend another 3 Points to give them Disadvantage again.
Quickened Spell - When you cast a Spell that has a casting time of 1 Action, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to change the casting time to 1 Bonus Action for this casting.
Seeking Spell - If you make an Attack Roll for a spell and miss, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to reroll the d20, but you must use the new roll.
You can use Seeking Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic during the casting of the spell.
Sniper Spell - When you cast a Spell that requires you to make a Spell Attack Roll or that forces a target to make a Reflex Save, you can spend a sorcery point to ignore the effects of half- and three-quarters cover against targets of the spell.
Subtle Spell - When you cast a Spell, you can spend a sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components if it had them.
Transmuted Spell - When you cast a Spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder damage, you can spend sorcery points to change that damage type to one of the others listed.
Twinned 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 (1 for Cantrips) to target a second creature in range with the same spell. To be eligible, a Spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the Level with which it is cast
Ability Score Improvement: When you reach a Level with this Feature you can increase any Ability Score by +2 or two separate Ability Scores by +1 each
Metamagic Recovery - When you Roll Initiative and do not have any Sorcery Points you immediately regain an amount equal to 4 + your Charisma Modifier
Subclass - Your Sorcerous Discovery occurs at 3rd Level, your powers come into their true form, the source of which you select from the choices below. This represents the basis for your powers, whatever kind of creature or being that has granted you the internal source of magic which fuels you suddenly becomes apparent to you, though for some this is less of a direct knowable ancestor and more a general origin which would need to be explored at an individual level
Burned Sorcerer - Whenever you dream you incur the thoughts of hell, its powerful magic having entered into your bloodline at some point and erupting from you at this Level. Most of these Sorcerers are Tieflings but there are still some of a different ancestry that have the magic within their blood, gaining traits similar to those of hellish ancestry that makes some misconstrue these sorcerers as of that ancestry.
