Yuan Ti Shadow Sorcerer Question with the Fey Touched (Charisma feat). My understanding is that we can add Darkness (from Shadow Magic origin) to a sorcerer's list of known spells. Also, we can add Misty Step plus a 1st level spell to the sorcerer's list of known spells. Can we add the Suggestion spell (from Yuan Ti race) to the list of sorcerer's known spells? Or is it strictly a once per long rest spell? Cheers
It depends on what you mean by spells known. In sorcerer parlance, spells known means the 15 spells you can add to your spell list. Darkness is given to you as a Shadow Sorcerer and does not count as "known spell." Eventually you will have 15 spells plus Darkness. You have to expend a spell slot or sorcery points to cast. Fey Touched is a once per long rest deal. They don't count as spells known for a sorcerer and you don't have to use a spell slot to cast. I don't know anything about Yuan Ti as PC's but if they receive Suggestion as a racial trait, your sorcerer will have it as a spell just like Darkness. It won't count as a spell known and you can cast it by expending a spell slot unless there is a rider that says otherwise.
The way I read it, For purposes of game mechanics those spells are "known" but not "sorcerer spells". they would use their own spellcasting modifiers and be independatnt of the class. many spells allow you to cast with any spell slots available but anything that references a "sorcerer spell" will not apply.
