Phoenix Sorcery (remix)

Your power draws from the immortal flame that fuels the legendary phoenix. You or your ancestors perhaps rendered a phoenix a great service, or you were born in its presence. Whatever the cause, a shard of the phoenix’s power dwells within you.

That power is a mixed blessing. Like the mythical creature, you can invoke fiery energy and gain the ability to cheat death itself. This power comes at a cost. The fire within you

Phoenix Soul Quirk

 

 Your connection to the legendary phoenix has left you changed in some way. As an option, you can pick from or roll (1d6) on the phoenix sorcery quirks table to create a quirk for your character.

Alone in the Dark

You feel unsafe or uncomfortable when not in the presence of flame.

Black Gloves

Your fingers sometimes leave black marks on things they touch.

Burning Opinions

You are prone to unpredictable, impulsive outbursts.

Chilly Disposition

You like to sit close to campfires and prefer hot climates.

Dark Taste

You like your food charred.

Fire Dancer

Motes of fire dance behind your eyes.

Ignite

At 1st level, you gain the ability to start fires with a touch. As an action, you can magically ignite a flammable object you touch with your hand—an object such as a torch, a piece of tinder, or the hem of drapes.

Mantle of Flame

Starting at 1st level, you can unleash the phoenix fire that blazes within you.

As a bonus action, you magically wreathe yourself in swirling fire, as your eyes glow like hot coals. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.

• Any creature takes fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier if it hits you with a melee attack from within 5 feet of you or if it touches you.

• Whenever you roll fire damage on your turn, the roll gains a bonus equal to your Charisma modifier.

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

Raising Flames Spells

Starting at 1st level, your fiery nature changes your mind in subtle but profound ways. You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Phoenix Spells table. The spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.  Spells in this list do not require material components.

Sorcerer LEVEL	SPELLS
1st	Burning Hands, Control Flames, Sacred Flame
3rd	Continual Flame. Scorching Ray
5th	Fireball, Fly
7th	Flame Strike, Fire Shield
9th	Conjure Elemental. Flame Strike

 

Phoenix Spark

Starting at 6th level, the fiery energy within you grows restless and vengeful. In the face of defeat, it surges outward to preserve you in a fiery roar.

If you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to draw on the spark of the phoenix. You are instead reduced to 1 hit point, and each creature within 10 feet of you takes fire damage equal to half your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier.

If you use this feature while under the effects of your Mantle of Flame, this feature instead deals fire damage equal to your sorcerer level + double your Charisma modifier, and your Mantle of Flame immediately ends.

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

Nourishing Fire

Starting at 14th level, your fire spells soothe and restore you. When you expend a spell slot to cast a spell that includes a fire damage roll, you regain hit points equal to the slot’s level + your Charisma modifier.

Form of the Phoenix

At 18th level, you finally master the spark of fire that dances within you. While under the effect of your Mantle of Flame feature, you gain additional benefits:

• You have a flying speed of 40 feet and can hover.

• You have resistance to all damage.

• Either
  • Phoenix Spark deals an extra 20 fire damage to each creature
  • Fire damage from Mantle of flame is doubled

Mantle of Flame Trigger

Any creature that takes fire damage from your Mantle of Flame now takes double damage.

Phoenix Spark Trigger

Phoenix Spark, that feature deals an extra 20 fire damage to each creature.
