Tarot Sorcerer

The Tarot Sorcerer calls upon the power of their Tarot Suit to grant them extraordinary powers that can help in a variety of situations. They also call upon the Major Arcana associated with their Suit, turning them into the greatest Peace Keepers the town has ever seen, or into the scariest foes you have ever fought.

Suits of the Tarot

There are 4 suits of the Tarot; Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each represent a magical element as well. Wands are Fire, Cups are acid, Swords are Force, and Pentacles are bludgeoning. The element of your suit powers up spells of that type and affects your Fool Arcana effect. At first level, you roll a d4 and gain that suit's power. You can also choose one if you don't want to roll. Wands would be 1, Cups 2, Swords 3, Pentacles 4. 

When you gain your suit, you gain a Sorcerer Cantrip based on the suit and the Ace of that suit which also acts as a spellcasting focus for you. Wands: Control Flames ; Cups: Shape Water ; Swords: Gust ; Pentacles: Mold Earth.

At 6th, 14th, and 18th level, you gain another suit and its effects. Your existing suit(s) also gain an upgrade(s).

The Fool Arcana

The power of the Fool is ingrained within your soul and with it, you gain an arcane Orb that takes the form of your Suit. These Orbs are known as Fool's Orbs and you can call upon them an amount of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). When you call upon the Fool, an amount of orbs = the amount of suits you have + the number of Major Arcana you have (The Fool is a Major Arcana) appear. These Orbs have a range of 120 feet and can attack, using your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus as the attack bonus. On a hit, an Orb deals 1d6 + your Charisma modifier as damage of your suit's type. If you have more than one suit, you choose which damage type of the suits you have it deals. It takes an action to use an Orb. Once an Orb is used, whether it be for an attack or for a Major Arcana effect, it disappears. If you call on the power of The Fool while you have it in effect, the amount of Orb's that are present are your normal amount of Orbs + the amount you already had out (i.e. you are 6th level and have a charisma modifier of +3 and four Orbs. You have used 3 of your Orbs and want to gain  more. By expending another use, you gain 4 more Orbs, giving you a total of 5 that are out.) You regain all of your uses of Fool's Orbs after a long rest. 

Major Arcana

At 6th level, the power of the Tarot's Major Arcana start to take root in your soul, giving you additional effects. Your existing Suit gets an upgrade and you gain a new Suit. Roll on your upgraded Suit's table for your 2nd Major Arcana. These Tables apply to characters that are of the Good or Lawful Neutral alignments.
