# Sorcerer Resurged
A hoard of zombies is engulfed in purple flames, as a single half-orc levitates over the raging inferno, his outstretched hands covered in soot and his heart burning with the same arcane glow that surrounds him.

Intrigued by the unnatural way light bent around the young elf's silhouette, a guard reaches a hand towards her. With a single glance, she floods his mind with devastating visions of the future, paralyzing him on the spot as she calmly wanders into the keep.

After hurling a freezing blast of magic at the towering troll, the young halfling smiles to herself. She turns her back to the monster, unaware that the chaotic magic that she just commanded has turned her into a newt.

Sorcerers are inherently attuned to the magic of the world. Their power is limited only by their willingness to face risk by digging ever deeper within themselves. This natural connection to the arcane makes them stand out from other wielders of magic, as they are able to manifest otherworldly powers as second nature and bend spells to their will.

### Innate Power
Unlike other adventurers who access magic through scholarly means or by channeling the power of a higher being, sorcerers have an intrinsic connection to the magical forces that permeate the world. Whether they were born with magical abilities, or  acquired them through extraordinary circumstances, a sorcerer's affinity with the arcane is particularly intimate, allowing them to twist magic in unique and astounding ways.

These gifts, however, don't come without a cost. The unearthly essence of a sorcerer is not one that they can hide, as it can manifest physically, transforming their bodies and altering the way they interact with the world. Some sorcerers float like feathers, some are covered in flames or frost, and others may drain the color of every object they touch. This makes it impossible for a sorcerer to live a normal life, as they tend to be either revered or cast out of their homeland due to their unwieldy powers.

### The Mystery of the Arcane

There are no greater questions in the life of a sorcerer than those surrounding their own powers, their origins and sheer vastness. This inescapable enigma pushes sorcerers to lives of adventure in which they may find answers, as well as grow more proficient in their abilities. Just like their magic, a sorcerer’s destiny is not chosen, and such potential rarely comes without consequence.

### Creating a Sorcerer
To create a sorcerer, you must first consider the nature of your magic as well as your relationship to it. A sorcerer's power may come from countless origins and manifest in different ways. Were you born with access to magic or did you develop it later in life? Do you know the source of your power? Does magic abilities run in your family or were you the first to manifest them? How did you first realize that you had a gift for magic?

Their arcane forces shape a sorcerer's life as well as their appearance. What is the first thing that reveals to others your magical essence? Is it something you feel comfortable with? Does it bring you shame, or pride? How have other people in your life reacted to you being a sorcerer?

Lastly, as you grow in power, you will seek an arcane art to help hone your skills. Think of whether you'll embrace the chaotic aspects of magic, if you'll focus on controlling a particular element or manipulating others' perception, or if you'll seek the path of witchcraft to imbue your magic into arcane tokens.

#### Quick Build
You can make a sorcerer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose the hermit background.

\pagebreak

### Sorcery
You are infused with raw arcane magic. This mystical power flows through you like blood, allowing you to reshape the world around you. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the sorcerer spell list

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional sorcerer cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sorcerer table.

When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the sorcerer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the sorcerer spell list.

#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the sorcerer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Sorcerer table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level equal to or lower than your Spell Maximum, as shown on the Sorcerer table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn two new spells of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which  must be of a level equal to or lower than your Spell Maximum.

#### Sorcery Points
You have a number of sorcery points equal to your Charisma modifier + your Sorcerer level (minimum of 2 points) to cast your sorcerer spells of 1st level and higher, as well as activating other arcane abilities. To cast a sorcerer spell, you must expend a number of sorcery points equal to twice the level you want to cast the spell at. You regain all expended sorcery points each time you finish a short or long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands, you can cast it as a 1st-level spell by spending 2 sorcery points, or as a 2nd-level spell by spending 4 points. You can never spend sorcery points to cast a spell as a level higher than your Spell Maximum.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells. Your sense of self allows you to control the power of your innate magic. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw 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

#### High Level Spells
Spells of 6th-level and higher are particularly taxing to cast. Once you cast a spell of 6th level or higher you can’t cast a spell of that level again until you finish a Long Rest, even if you have enough Sorcery Points to do so. Starting at level 19, you can cast two 6th-level spells before you finish a Long Rest, and at level 20, you can cast two 7th-level spell slots before you finish a Long Rest.

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can  use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells.
 Alternatively, your body works as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells. You must have a free hand to cast spells that require somatic or material components, and you must still provide material components that are consumed by a spell or have a gold cost.

### Sorcerous Spark
A spark in your heart burns with elemental power that fuels your magic. Choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder. This damage type becomes your Spark damage type.

Whenever you cast a sorcerer spell that deals damage, you can change the type of damage to your Spark damage type.

Additionally, when you deal damage of your Spark damage type, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls.

#### Sorcerous Bolt
You can channel your magic into destructive bolts of elemental damage to hurl at your enemies. As an action, you can make a ranged spell attack against a creature or object you can see within 120 ft. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 + your Charisma modifier damage of your Spark damage type.

As you gain levels in this class, you can hurl additional bolts as part of the same action, two bolts at level 5, three bolts at level 11, and four bolts at level 17. You can direct the bolts at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each bolt.

\pagebreak

### Font of Magic
Starting at 2nd level you can tap into a deeper source of power, putting your physical body at risk. As a Bonus Action you can regain a number of sorcery points up to your sorcerer Level. Roll an amount of d6 equal to half the points regained (rounded up) and you take damage equal to the result. This damage ignores Temporary Hit Points and it can’t be reduced in any way.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

### Manifestations of Power
The magic that flows through you grants you supernatural abilities beyond any mortal, these are your Manifestations of Power. At 2nd level, you gain two manifestations of your choice. When you gain certain sorcerer levels, you gain additional manifestations, as shown in the Manifestations of Power column of the Sorcerer table.

You can only apply the effect of one manifestation of power on a spell or use of sorcerous bolt, unless otherwise noted.

- **Prerequisites.** If a manifestation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn that manifestation. For example, if a manifestation requires you to be a level 5+ sorcerer, you can only select the manifestation once you reach sorcerer level 5.
- **Replacing and Gaining Manifestations.** Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one of your manifestations with another one for which you qualify.

\columnbreak

### Arcane Art 
At 3rd level, you hone your power through occult practices aligned with a particular Arcane Art. Choose an Arcane Art which grants you features at  3rd level, and again when you reach 6th, 10th, and 18th level in this class.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Elemental Affinity 
At 5th level, you have grown accustomed to the elemental power that courses through you. You gain resistance to your Spark damage type.

### Endless Power
At 14th level, your inner well of magic knows no bounds. You regain the use of your Font of Magic ability when you finish a short or long rest.

In addition, you can apply the effects of two manifestations of power to the same spell or use of sorcerous bolt.

### Embodiment of Magic
At 20th level you are perfectly attuned to the magic that permeates the world and have become a true avatar of the arcane. You have Advantage on arcana checks and saving throws against spells. Additionally, you can cast 1st-level spells without spending sorcery points.

Moreover, you can choose to ignore the damage caused by your Font of Magic ability. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

## Arcane Arts
Throughout history, sorcerers have sought ways of gaining control over their innate mystical power. This has led to the creation and study of ancient traditions known as arcane arts. Covetous and distrustful, those who are studied in the arcane arts seldom take students, as training a skilled wielder of magic might pose a risk to their own power.

However, every now and then a child with the potential of a sorcerous spark might be taken under the wing of a mighty sorcerer to understand the nature of their innate abilities, sometimes even against their will. Other sorcerers still stumble unto the secrets of the arcane arts by listening to the whispers of magic itself, becoming the first of their line.

### Chaos Mage
Your innate power comes from the wild forces of chaos that underlie the order of creation, tapping into the most raw and unruly form of magic. You might have been exposed to an event of powerful wild magic, perhaps through a planar portal leading to the plane of Limbo, or you were chosen by a powerful fey creature, or marked by a demon.

However it came to be, this chaotic energy churns within you, waiting for any outlet. Chaos mages are often feared for their unpredictability, yet they hold great potential due to their ties to the force of destiny itself.

#### Chaos Magic
*3rd-level Chaos Mage feature*

As you use your sorcerous abilities, untamed magical power builds up inside you, waiting for a chance to unleash itself. This buildup of power is your Chaos Level. It starts at 0 and has maximum level of 20.

Whenever you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, add the level of the spell to your current chaos level, then roll 1d20. If the result is equal to or less than your current chaos level, roll on the Surge of Chaos table to create a magical effect. If the effect is a spell, it is cast using your spellcasting modifier and saving throw, but it lasts for the full duration unless otherwise stated, and the DM determines any specific resolution. Once a Surge of Chaos is triggered your Chaos Level resets to 0.

Other events may also cause you to roll against your current Chaos Level, such as rolling a natural 1 or having your Chaos Level reach 10 or higher, at your DMs discretion. If your Chaos Level ever reaches 20, you must automatically roll on the Surge of Chaos table.

#### Unstable Spellwork
*3rd-level Chaos Mage feature*

The chaotic power of raw magic courses through you, making the effect of your spells less predictable. When you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher that deals damage, roll 1d10, the result determines the type of damage the spell deals, according to the Unstable Damage table.

Additionally, when you deal damage with your Arcane Bolt, instead of rolling 1d8 for the damage, roll 2d10. Choose one of the results to be your damage roll, the other one determines the damage type using the Unstable Damage table.

##### Unstable Damage
| d10 | Damage type |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1 | Poison |
| 2 | Fire |
| 3 | Cold |
| 4 | Lightning |
| 5 | Acid |
| 6 | Psychic |
| 8 | Necrotic |
| 9 | Radiant |
| 10 | Force |

#### Fate Weaver
*3rd-level Chaos Mage feature*

Your relationship to the forces of chaos and chance allows you to slightly alter your fate and that of those around you. When you or another creature within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to modify the roll by adding or subtracting a number up to your Charisma modifier. You  do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur. Then, add the amount modified by this ability to your current chaos level.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

#### Chaotic Overflow
*6th-level Chaos Mage feature*

The accumulating turmoil within you empowers the destructiveness of your magic. Once during your turn, when you deal damage with a sorcerer spell or using your arcane bolt, you can deal additional damage to one target equal to your current chaos level.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Controlled Chaos
*10th-level Chaos Magician feature*

By embracing the chaotic nature of your magic, you’ve gained a modicum of control over it. When you deal damage with a sorcerer spell or an arcane bolt, instead of rolling on the Unstable Damage table, you can spend 1 sorcery point to choose the type of damage you deal.

Additionally, when you roll on the Surge of Chaos table, you can roll twice and use either number.

#### Conduit of Chaos
*18th-level Chaos Magician feature*

You are attuned to the unpredictability of raw magic and can bestow it onto others. When you choose an option from the Surge of Chaos table, you can force one creature within 60 feet of you to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or become the target of the effect you didn’t choose. A creature may willingly fail this roll.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 6 sorcery points to use it again.

### Elementalist
Followers of the art of elementalism focus on deepening their connection to the sorcerous spark that burns within them. Some do this by studying with Ancient Dragons, while others travel to the edges of the Elemental planes.

This understanding of their arcane nature allows elementalists to unleash devastating power. However, this path is marked by risk and pain, as by opening the gates to your elemental power, you risk being overwhelmed by it.

#### Elemental Control
*3rd-level Elementalist feature*

The power of your sorcerous spark allows you ways of controlling the elements associated with it. You learn one cantrip based on your Spark damage type, according to the following table:

##### Elemental Control Cantrip
| Spark damage type | Cantrip|
|:----:|:-------------|
| Acid | *blade ward* |
| Cold | *shape water* |
| Fire | *control flames* |
| Lightning | *light* |
| Necrotic | *minor illusion* |
| Poison | *druidcraft* |
| Psychic | *message* |
| Radiant | *thaumaturgy* |
| Thunder | *gust* |

If you already know the corresponding cantrip, you can choose another one from the table. Additionally, you can cast your elemental control cantrip as a Bonus Action.

#### Empowered Bolt
*3rd-level Elementalist feature*

Coursing elemental power causes your arcane bolts to be unpredictably powerful. When you roll the maximum number on a die to determine the damage of an arcane bolt, you can roll the die again and add it to the damage total. This ability can be triggered multiple times by the same attack but only to a single bolt per turn.

#### Primordial Surge
*3rd-level Elementalist feature*

You can channel the raw power of your Sorcerous spark, damaging your own body in the process. When you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher that deals your Spark damage type, you can decide to deal maximum damage instead of rolling. When you cast a spell this way, roll 1d10 for each level of the spell and  take damage equal to the result. This damage ignores Temporary Hit Points and it can’t be reduced in any way.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Elemental Attunement
*6th-level Elementalist feature*

Your attunement to elemental energy extends to those closest to you. As a Bonus Action you can spend 1 sorcery point to choose a number of creatures within 60 feet of you up to your Charisma modifier and grant them resistance to your Spark damage type for 1 hour or until you use this feature again.

#### Invigorating Surge
*10th-level Elementalist feature*

The same destructive power that surges through you, protects you from outside harm. Whenever you use your Primordial Surge ability, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the damage taken. These temporary hit points last until you finish a short or long rest.

#### Elemental Incarnation
*18th-level Elementalist feature*

As a Bonus Action you can shed your mortal coil and assume a form of pure elemental power that lasts for 10 minutes or until you fall unconscious. For the duration, you gain the following benefits:
* You gain a flight speed equal to your walking speed and can hover
* You have immunity to your Spark damage type
* You have resistance to bludgeoning, slashing and piercing damage
* When you deal damage of your Spark damage type, you ignore resistance to the damage and treat creatures with immunity as if they had resistance.
* Creatures of your choice that start their turn within 30 feet of you take damage of your Spark damage type equal to your Charisma modifier.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 8 sorcery points to use it again.

\pagebreak

### Mesmerist
You have honed your magic to unveil the secrets of the mind and have it bend to your will. Through mastery of both the illusion and enchantment schools of magic, you are able to manipulate reality, enthrall foes and impose your will on those around you.

Mesmerists use their abilities to manipulate those around them and gain favored positions of power, either by dashing from a public spotlight, or by pulling strings from the shadows.

#### Entrhalling Gaze
*3rd-level Mesmerist feature*

With a single glance you can alter a creature’s impression of you, potentially turning foes into allies. You can spend 1 sorcery point as a Bonus Action to choose one creature within 30 feet that can see you. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or have it’s opinion of you magically altered: if the creature is hostile against you, it becomes indifferent; and if it is indifferent, it becomes charmed by you. The effect lasts for one hour or until you make an action that would alter the creature's impression of you.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Mesmeric Magic
*3rd-level Mesmerist feature*

Your magic is specially tuned to alter perception and twist minds. Whenever you cast a 1st level or higher spell from the enchantment or illusion schools of magic you regain one sorcery point.

#### Mirage Veil
*6th-level Mesmerist feature*

A thin layer of illusion obscures your form from others. Attacks against you have Disadvantage. If you take damage, this effect is suppressed until the start of your next turn. Additionally, any roll made to identify you is made with Disadvantage.

#### Illusory Spellwork
*10th-level Mesmerist feature*

You can create illusory replicas of spells that are just as powerful, if not more. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to alter it in the following ways:

* The spell’s school becomes illusion.
* The spell only affects creatures of your choice within its range, up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one).
* If the spell deals damage of a type other than psychic, it instead deals psychic damage.
* If the spell requires a saving throw of any ability other than intelligence, targets must make an intelligence saving throw instead.

#### Field of Distortion
*18th-level Mesmerist feature*

Your illusory veil expands greatly, distorting the world around you. Creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you have Disadvantage on saving throws, attack rolls and perception checks, and they treat this area as difficult terrain. As a Bonus Action, you can spend sorcery points to increase the range of the field by 10 feet for each point spent, up to your Charisma modifier. This increase lasts for 10 minutes.

\pagebreak

### Witch
The teachings of the oldest arcane art have been passed from mentor to apprentice since the beginning of time, becoming surrounded by superstition and speculation. You have learned to channel and supplement your innate magic through the crafting of tokens, potions and powerful talismans, as well as the use of  dark rituals.

Unlike other sorcerers, witches often form tight-nitted groups, known as covens. These fellowships serve as a way to exchange arcane knowledge and empower their hexes.

#### Occult Rituals
*3rd-level Witch feature*

Choose one of the following classes: cleric, druid, warlock, or wizard. You learn two spells from that class’s list and they count as sorcerer spells for you. The spells must be of a level equal to or lower than your Spell Maximum and they must have the ritual tag. Whenever you level up you can replace one of these spells with another spell that fits the requirements. You can cast any spells you know with the ritual tag as rituals.

#### Witchcraft

These manifestations give each sorcerer a signature way of using their abilities, altering their spellcraft or transforming their body.
