Selfless Soul

Some are born with power, some work hard for it, and some make deals for it. Sorcerers of this origin obtain their power after immense pain and loss. This traumatic experience festers a hungering need to protect others over themselves and awakens an ancient dormant bloodline connected to the mages of old.

A selfless soul will push themselves to the brink of death to protect others. When out of options these sorcerers draw upon their own vitality to cast their magic. They will share almost anything with their allies, even their essence of life and power. Though powerful, these unique abilities are very risky and dangerous for a selfless soul. Most often a selfless soul will live a short life dying a hero, but sometimes they get back the help they give.

Selfless Magic

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Selfless Spells table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an abjuration or evocation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.

Sacrifice

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to sacrifice parts of yourself to empower and protect others.

Soul Casting. Sacrifice your vitality to cast magic. Instead of spell slots, you may expend a number of sorcerer hit dice equal to the spell level you’re casting at to instantly cast a sorcerer spell using its normal cast time. When you do so, you take damage equal to the maximum value of each hit die you spent. You can’t cast above 5th level with this feature.

Shared Magic. Lend your magic to allies. As an action, you may expend 1 spell slot level of your choice, to restore a spell slot of equal level to a creature within 30 feet of you.

Shared Life. Give your life to others. As a bonus action, you can transfer and distribute your own hit points among a number of creatures you choose equal to your proficiency bonus, within 30 feet of you. You can transfer up to 5 times your sorcerer level of hit points per short rest.

Selfless Casting

Beginning at 6th level, you can extend the range of magic normally meant for yourself to others. When you cast a non hostile spell with a range of self, that doesn’t require concentration, you can expend sorcery points equal to the spell’s level to extend its range and target a creature of your choice within 30 feet. You can still use meta magic with this feature.

Protector’s Ward

At 14th level, you can now place a protective ward over an ally at the cost of leaving yourself more vulnerable. As an action, choose one creature within 30 feet of you. That creature’s maximum hit points are increased by 10. While a creature is warded, you may use your bonus action to grant them temporary hit points equal to your charisma modifier. Whenever the warded creature makes a saving throw, after the roll but before the results, you can spend a sorcery point to add your charisma modifier to their roll. However, while your protector’s ward is up, your maximum hit points are reduced by 20. Your ward lasts until you take a short or long rest, become unconscious, or decide to end it. You can use this feature once per short or long rest.

Aided Soul

Starting at 18th level, you’ve learned the importance of self care and can now protect yourself as well as others. Whenever you or a creature within 30 feet receives healing, you can use your reaction and expend sorcery points to add an additional 1d8 healing per point spent. Additionally whenever you take damage, you can expend sorcery points to reduce the damage by 1d6 per point spent.
