Sorcerer Tweaks
Spellcasting
Sorcerers are able to use an empty hand as a spellcasting focus for sorcerer spells, their own bodies are magical enough to channel spells through.
Font of Magic
Sorcerers regain sorcery points equal to half their proficiency bonus (rounded up) when they finish a short rest.
Metamagic
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to twist your spells to suit your needs. You gain three of the following Metamagic options of your choice. You gain another one at 6th, 10th, and 17th level.
Sorcerous Synthesis
Replaces Sorcerous Restoration
At 20th level, you can use any number of Metamagic options on a single spell, rather than being limited to one.
Blood Magic
Sorcerers are a really good frame-work for the oft requested blood mage. Rather than writing a specific, one-theme subclass, the following feat allows for edgy Shadow blood mages, Dragon Age style dangerous Wild Magic blood mages, and everything else.
Feat - Sanguine Spellcraft
Prerequisite: Font of Magic Feature
You have discovered a way to use your blood to enhance your spellcasting capabilities. You gain the following benefit:
As a bonus action, you can deal 1d6 damage to yourself to regain two expended sorcery points. When you do so, you must succeed on a DC 5 Consitution saving throw or gain a point of exhaustion. Only by finishing a long rest can you remove a level of exhaustion gained in this way.
Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. After you finish a long rest, the DC resets to 5.
Wild Magic Surge
Starting when you choose this origin at 1st level, your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. You have an instability score of 5, representing the building chaotic energies within you. Once per turn, immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, make a Charisma check. The DC equals your instability score + the spell's level. On a success, your instability score increases by 1. On a failure, your instability score resets to 5, and you must roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a magical effect. If that effect is a spell, it is too wild to be affected by your Metamagic, and if it normally requires concentration, it doesn’t require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration.
Tides of Chaos
Starting at 1st level, you can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.
If any time before you regain the use of this feature you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, you immediately regain use of this feature.
Sorcerer Origin Spells
Sorcerers gain addition spells based on their Sorcerous Origin. These spells do not count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
