Introduction

This document exists as one of several that is a way to completely overhault the way Dungeons & Dragons 2024 handles its progresssion and power level. The name comes from older editions of Dungeons & Dragons such as 3rd Edition and similar spinoff games, and aims to empower classes and make D&D 2024 a better feeling game to play for Players.

Raw Magic

Magic is a part of every Unchained Sorcerer, suffusing body, mind, and spirit with a latent power that waits to be tapped. Some Unchained Sorcerers wield magic that springs from an ancient bloodline infused with the magic of dragons. Others carry a raw, uncontrolled magic within them, a chaotic storm that manifests in unexpected ways.
The appearance of sorcerous powers is wildly unpredictable. Some draconic bloodlines produce exactly one Unchained Sorcerer in every generation, but in other lines of descent every individual is an Unchained Sorcerer. Most of the time, the talents of sorcery appear as apparent flukes. Some Unchained Sorcerers can't name the origin of their power, while others trace it to strange events in their own lives. The touch of a demon, the blessing of a dryad at a baby's birth, or a taste of the water from a mysterious spring might spark the gift of sorcery. So too might the gift of a deity of magic, exposure to the elemental forces of the Inner Planes or the maddening chaos of Limbo, or a glimpse into the inner workings of reality.
Unchained Sorcerers have no use for the spellbooks and ancient tomes of magic lore that wizards rely on, nor do they rely on a patron to grant their spells as warlocks do. By learning to harness and channel their own inborn magic, they can discover new and staggering ways to unleash that power.

Unexplained Powers

Unchained Sorcerers are rare in the world, and it's unusual to find an Unchained Sorcerer who is not involved in the adventuring life in some way. People with magical power seething in their veins soon discover that the power doesn't like to stay quiet. an Unchained Sorcerer's magic wants to be wielded, and it has a tendency to spill out in unpredictable ways if it isn't called on.
Unchained Sorcerers often have obscure or quixotic motivations driving them to adventure. Some seek a greater understanding of the magical force that infuses them, or the answer to the mystery of its origin. Others hope to find a way to get rid of it, or to unleash its full potential. Whatever their goals, Unchained Sorcerers are every bit as useful to an adventuring party as wizards, making up for a comparative lack of breadth in their magical knowledge with enormous flexibility in using the spells they know.

Unwanted Ease

When it comes to drawing forth their abilities in times of need, Unchained Sorcerers have it easy compared to other characters. Their power not only rests within them, but it likely takes some effort to keep it at bay. Every Unchained Sorcerer is born to the role, or stumbles into it through cosmic chance. Unlike other characters, who must actively learn, embrace, and pursue their talents, Unchained Sorcerers have their power thrust upon them.

Because the idea of an innately magical being traveling among them does not sit well with many folk, Unchained Sorcerers tend to breed mistrust and suspicion in others they come across. Nonetheless, many Unchained Sorcerers succeed in overcoming that prejudice through deeds that benefit their less magically gifted contemporaries.

Unchained Sorcerers are often defined by the events surrounding the manifestation of their power. For those who receive it as an expected birthright, its appearance is a cause for celebration. Other Unchained Sorcerers are treated as outcasts, banished from their homes after the sudden, terrifying arrival of their abilities.
