Scion Magus

Scion Magi pull power from their heritage much like a sorcerer, but they balance it with martial combat to make up for their lacking magical prowess.

They have origins that come from all forms of magical creatures, from celestials to fiends, from fey to giants. they have a slew of spells at their disposal, coming the magic that has touched their lives. Though they may not have hereditary talents of sorcerers, they make up for it with martial prowess and blending it with their magic.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the sorcerer spell list.

Cantrips

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. You learn an additional sorcerer cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots

The Scion Magus Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your sorcerer spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level sorcerer spells of your choice.

The Spells Known column of the Scion Magus Spellcasting table shows when you learn more Sorcerer spells of 1st level or higher.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the sorcerer's spells you know with another spell of your choice from the sorcerer's spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since you gain your spells due to your exposure to a magical source, either through your heritage or some other event. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
