Stoneheart (Revised Stone Sorcerer)
Your magic springs from a mystical link between your soul and the magic of elemental earth. You might trace a distant ancestor to the Plane of Earth, or your family might have earned a mighty boon in return for a service to the dao lords. Whatever your past, the magic of elemental earth is yours to command.
Your link to earth magic grants you extraordinary resilience, and stoneheart sorcerers have a natural affinity for combat. A stone hammer feels like a natural extension of your body, and you have a knack for wielding weapons and magic in unison. In combat your place is amid the fray. You rely on your elemental nature to shield you from harm and control of earth and steel to overwhelm your foes.

Your connection to the earth gives you extra fortitude. While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 12 + your Constitution modifier. You can use a Shield and still gain this benefit.
Aegis of Stone

Whenever a creature with Aegis of Stone is hit, any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage is reduced by your proficiency bonus. The aegis lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again.
When a creature hits the protected target with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to glide through the earth up to your movement speed towards the attacker without provoking opportunity attacks. If you end your movement within 5 feet of the attacker, you can make one melee opportunity attack against the attacker.
Hardened Strikes

- You have tremorsense with a range of 20ft.

Variant Spells
These are reflavoured versions of the SCAG cantrips to better fit the Stone Sorcerer theme. No mechanical changes were made. Additionally Serrated Stone by Thudnfer was added as a Druid and Sorcerer spell.
Geomagnesian Strike
Evocation Cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 5 feet
- Components: V, M (a weapon)
- Duration: Instantaneous
Your weapon draws on the earth's magnetic field and hums with barely contained energy. As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and it becomes encircled in a ring of highly charged lodestones.
If the target willingly moves before then, the magnetic field collapses and the encircling lodestones crash together in an earsplitting explosion. The target immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends. This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels.
At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.
Volcanic Fury
Evocation Cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 5 feet
- Components: V, M (a weapon)
- Duration: Instantaneous
Your weapon seethes with molten rock and magma. As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and molten lava splatters from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels.
This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.
Serrated Stone
3rd level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (20 foot line)
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a wall of spiked rock in a line 5 feet wide, 5 feet tall and 20 feet long. If the wall cuts into a creature's space, it must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d8 slashing damage on a failed save and half that on a successful save. In addition, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice).
The wall is a stone object with an AC of 17 and 120 hit points, with immunity to poison and psychic damage. If its hit points reach 0, the entire wall collapses and its area becomes difficult terrain until cleared.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and can't be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the wall's length increases by 5 feet, the wall's damage increases by 1d8 and the wall's hit points increase by 20 for every spell level above 3rd.
