Path of Errant Magic

Many sources of logic-defying magic exist in Esos. Some poor souls are afflicted with such magic. And rather than blessed as sorcerers, they become more accursed, victim to the unpredictable nature of these magics. Unable to control the energy within, they are as much a threat to themselves as they are to others. Some hardy enough can wield this magic to their advantage by way of being an absolute hinderance to others.

Level 3: Magic Awareness

As an action, you can open your awareness to the presence of concentrated magic. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any spell or magic item within 60 feet of you that isn’t behind total cover. When you sense a spell, you learn which school of magic it belongs to.

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

Level 3: Errant Surge

Whenever you choose to use your Reckless Attack feature, roll a D20. On Nat 1, you roll on the D100 Errant Magic table. In addition, you may choose to enter Rage as a free action instead of a bonus action, but you MUST then roll on the Errant Magic table.

Level 6: Bolstering Magic

You can harness your errant magic to bolster yourself or a companion. As an action, you can touch one creature (which can be yourself) and confer one of the following benefits of your choice to that creature:

• For 10 minutes, the creature can roll a d3 whenever making an attack roll or an ability check and add the number rolled to the d20 roll.
• Roll a d3. The creature regains one expended spell slot, the level of which equals the number rolled or lower (the creature’s choice). Once a creature receives this benefit, that creature can’t receive it again until after a long rest.

You can take this action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Unstable Backlash

When you are imperiled during your rage, the magic within you can lash out; immediately after you take damage or fail a saving throw while raging, you can use your reaction to roll on the Errant Magic table and immediately produce the effect rolled. This effect replaces your current Errant Magic effect.

Level 14: Controlled Surge

Whenever you roll on the Errant Magic table, you can roll the die twice and choose which of the two effects to unleash. If you roll the same number on both dice, you can ignore the number and choose any effect on the table.
