Base Class: Sorcerer
Your magic springs from the divine blood that flows through your veins. The gods have often been known to consort with mortals, and such unions sometimes produce half-divine offspring. These individuals are called demigods, and many of them are born with a powerful aptitude for magic.
Demigods exhibit powers that are related to the domain of their godly ancestor, but their magic is not constrained by this association. Rather, they may channel the power in their blood to improve the efficacy of any spell, regardless of its type. Additionally, the divine power that courses through their blood makes demigods impressive specimens of both physical fitness and beauty.
Godly Ancestor
Starting at 1st level, choose the divine domain of your godly ancestor from the following list. You can cast each of the associated spells once without using any spell slots, and you regain the ability to do so after completing a short or long rest.
Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with gods or celestials, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

Chaos
You learn the bane spell, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.
Evil
You learn the inflict wounds spell, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.
Good
You learn the cure wounds spell, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.
Law
You learn the bless spell, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.
Neutrality
You learn the protection from evil and good spell, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.
Inherited Strength
Starting at 1st level, your godly lineage bestows you with extraordinary strength for someone without martial training. You are proficient in Strength saving throws. Additionally, you may choose to add your Charisma modifier to melee attack and damage rolls instead of your Strength.
Empowered Magic
Starting at 6th level, echoes of divine power flow through your spells. When you cast a spell, you may spend 1 sorcery point to increase the spell's level by 1. You cannot use this feature to increase a spell’s level by more than 1. For example, if you use a 5th-level spell slot to cast fireball as a 5th-level spell, you may spend 1 sorcery point to cast the spell at 6th level instead.
Divine Resistance
Starting at 14th level, your divine blood allows you to shrug off effects that would destroy mere mortals. When you fail a saving throw, you may choose to succeed instead. You may use this feature once, and you regain the ability to do so after completing a long rest.
Ascendant Sorcery
Starting at 18th level, your power has begun to rival your divine ancestor’s. When you use the Empowered Magic feature, you may increase the spell’s level by more than 1.
You must spend 1 sorcery point for each level that you add to the spell.

Posted Apr 21, 2023This seems like a cool concept and build. I would recommend striping out the vestiges of the divine soul spell additional spells since you have ancestral spells. The and reworking the 6th level ability. You dont need the fireball example/explanation.

Posted Jun 19, 2020The godly lineage spells and the charisma attacks both appear to be nonfunctional in the actual character sheet. is there a solution for that? I'm not very familiar with homebrew

Posted May 14, 2020Is there a way to choose to add CHA modifier to attack and damage? Like the warlock Hex option?

Posted May 8, 2020This is nearly on point but I can just select an alignment and not a demigod domain.
The rest looks spot on.
