Runic Bloodline

These Sorcerers are born possessing runes in their blood and soul. They awaken these runes when they become ready, manifesting them in a pouch with Runestones inside.

Pouch of Runes

Starting at the 1st level, you awaken your runes in the form a a pouch containing stones engraved with runes. The runes act as your spell slots, and you cast spells by holding one in your hand. After the spell is used, the runes disappear into thin air, and come back as your spell slots would. Grabbing and holding your runes are a free action, meaning you cast spells as any sorcerer would.

The pouch of runes you have cannot be used by other creatures, and if lost, you can summon it back with a bonus action.

Power Runes

At the first level, you are able to choose a Power Rune. These runes are powerful runes that can be used to do unique things.

You can use these power runes once per long rest, which increases at the 6th, 14th, and 18th level.

Power Rune : Beast

This Power Rune allows you to summon a magical beast that follows your command as an action.

The beast takes the form of any creature of your choice of CR 1 or less. This beast is a translucent, magical being that classifies as a fey.

This beast has hit points equal to twice your hit points, and lasts until you long rest. The beast can communicate with you telepathically, and will follow your commands.

As a bonus action, you can command your beast to take it's turn thought it deals only half it's original damage. If you do not command it, the beast takes the dodge action.

Power Rune : Blade

This Power Rune allows you to summon a blade from thin air with your bonus action.

This blade last for 10 minutes, and is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming immunity. The blade takes the form of a translucent sword of pure magical energy which glows with dim light in a 6ft radius.

The Blade does 1d10 + your spellcasting modifier damage, and when you hit a creature with this blade, you can spend a 1st level spell slot to increase the damage by 2d10 damage ( this increases by 1d10 per each spell slot level above this ).

Power Rune : Shield

This Power Rune allows you to summon a shield of magic that levitates around you as an action.

This shield lasts for 10 minutes, and takes the form of a translucent magical shield. The shield grants you +3 to your AC for the duration.

You can also, instead of the AC increase, step on your shield as a free action, and use it to gain a fly speed (hover) equal to your normal speed.

Power Rune : Beast
