Hey all, I am very excited to present what I think is the finalized version of the Alternate Sorcerer (at least the base class). I've gotten a ton of play test feedback, and I'm fairly confident that this is a well-balanced, improved take on the Sorcerer.
Alternate Sorcerer (Version 3.1.0)
- Misc art updates
- Split into “Alternate Sorcerer” and “Alternate Sorcerer: Expanded”
- Reduced total number of spells you learn at each level by 1 by level 20, putting the Alternate Sorcerer in-line with a PHB Sorcerer using an Origin from *TCoE*.
- Spell Versatility - Still included, but as an optional rule to be used with *TCoE*.
- Font of Magic - Reverted. Spend Sorcery Points once per day to permanently learn a new spell, overwriting another one of your Spells Known.
- Sorcerer Spell List Added!
- Spell List / Cantrips - Added *produce flame*
- Spell List / 1st-Level - Added *frost fingers, Tasha’s hideous laughter*
- Spell List / 2nd-Level - Added *melf’s acid arrow, ray of enfeeblement*
- Spell List / 3rd-Level - Added *life transference, nondetction, sending, tidal wave, wall of sand*. Removed *flame arrows*.
- Spell List / 4th-Level - Added *Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere*
- Spell List / 5th-Level - Removed *insect plague*
- Spell List / 6th-Level - Added *tenser’s transformation, wall of ice*.
- Spell List / 7th-Level - Added *whirlwind*. Removed *dream of the blue veil*
- Spell List / 8th-Level - Added *antimagic field*
- Sorcerous Arcanum - Clarified wording, added a table with the Sorcery Point cost of using your Font of Magic feature on an Arcanum spell.
- Manifestations / Dynamic Presence - Only grants you double proficiency if you are already proficient in the skill you choose.
- Elemental Origins / Heart of ____ - Fixed mixed up language.
- Emberheart / Wild Fire - Added damage table by creature size.
- Emberheart / Kindle the Flame - Changed to temporary hit points.
- Stoneblood / Crushing Blow - Now works against anything you hit, not just creatures.
- Stormsoul / Stormsoul Spells - replaced *maelstrom* with *bigby’s hand*.
- Stormsoul / Windcaller - you can spend 9 sorcery points to cast *wind walk*.
- Stormsoul / Primordial Storm - reworked to match the Emberheart’s capstone feature.
- Waveborn / Waveborn Spells - replaced *hold monster* with *maelstrom*.
- Waveborn / Curse of the Depths - Greatly simplified, spend an extra sorcery point when you deal cold damage to slow a target.
- Waveborn / Shifting Form - New feature. I felt the previous one was too convoluted, had too many steps (multiple saving throws for one action), and didn’t fit with other 5e mechanics.
- Waveborn / Primordial Waters - Removed permanent resistance to b/p/s damage.
Alternate Sorcerer: Expanded (Version 3.1.0)
- Arcane Manifestations - Seven New Manifestations!
- Divine Right - Returning Sorcerous Origin!
- Feyblood - Returning Sorcerous Origin!
- Hellspawn - NEW Sorcerous Origin! (think Bladesinger for Sorcerers + Demonic flavor)
- Ironmonger - NEW Sorcerous Origin! (Magneto + Fate/Zero ?!)
- Voidwielder - NEW Sorcerous Origin!
