Stone Sorcery, Revised
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 stone sorcerers have a natural affinity for combat. A steel weapon feels like a natural extension of your body, and sorcerers with this origin have a knack for wielding both shields and weapons. In combat your place is amid the fray. You rely on your elemental nature to shield you from harm and your magic and metal weapons to overwhelm your foes.
Metal Magic
Starting at 1st level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Stone 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 a abjuration or an evocation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
Stone Spells
| Sorcerer Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | Earth Tremor, Magic Stone, Thunderous Smite |
| 3rd | Magic Weapon, Maximillian's Earthen Grasp |
| 5th | Erupting Earth, Meld into Stone |
| 7th | Stone Shape, Stoneskin |
| 9th | Banishing Smite, Wall of Stone |
Bonus Proficiencies
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons.
Heart of Stone
At 1st level, your connection to stone gives you extra fortitude. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
As an action, you can gain a base AC of 13 + your Constitution modifier if you aren’t wearing armor, and your skin assumes a stony appearance. This effect lasts until you end it as a bonus action, you are reduced to 0 hit points, or you don armor other than a shield.
Body of Steel
Also at 1st level, you can channel your connection to the earth and metal through your weapons. When you attack with a weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. To gain this benefit, the weapon must be made of metal. Additionally, you can use a metal weapon as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Stone Aegis
Also at 6th level, your command of earth magic grows stronger, allowing you to harness it for your allies’ protection.
As a bonus action, you can grant an aegis to one allied creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The first time the target takes damage while protected by the aegis, the damage is reduced by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) plus half your sorcerer level (rounded down). This effect lasts for 1 minute, until the target takes damage, until you use it again, or until you are incapacitated.
In addition, when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you hits the protected target with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of the attacker. You can teleport only if you and the attacker are on the same surface. You can then make one melee weapon attack against the attacker. If that attack hits, it deals an extra 1d10 force damage. This extra damage increases to 2d10 at 11th level and 3d10 at 17th level.
Flurry of Steel and Stone
Starting at 14th level, your mastery of earth magic allows you to harmonize your martial and magical abilities. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you may use your bonus action to cast one of the spells granted by your Metal Magic feature, as long its casting time is 1 action.
Earth Master's Aegis
Beginning at 18th level, when you use your Stone’s Aegis to protect an ally, you can choose up to three creatures to gain its benefits.
