Phoenix Soul

Your power draws from the immortal flame that fuels the legendary phoenix. You or your ancestors perhaps rendered a phoenix a great service, or you were born in its presence. Whatever the cause, a shard of the phoenix’s power dwells within you.

That power is a mixed blessing. Like the mythical creature, you can invoke fiery energy and gain the ability to cheat death itself. This power comes at a cost. The fire within you seethes, demanding to be unleashed. You sometimes find yourself absentmindedly feeding fires. You can’t bear to allow a fire to sputter out. You feel most comfortable while holding a lit torch or sitting in front of a campfire.

Such sorcerers are wanderers by necessity. The volatile nature of their magic makes other folk nervous. If a fire breaks out in town, a phoenix sorcerer had best flee, whether guilty or not. Fire is a dangerous force, and phoenix sorcerers have a reputation (deserved or not) for reckless behaviour, confident that the essence of the phoenix can save them

 

Ignite

You gain the ability to start fires with a touch. As an action, you can touch a flammable object that isn’t being worn or carried by anyone else and set it on fire.

Mantle of Flame

The power of the phoenix blazes within you, as a bonus action, you magically wreath yourself in swirling fire. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• You shed bright light in a 30ft radius and dim light in an additional 30ft. 
• Any creature takes fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier if it hits you with a melee attack from within 5 feet of you or if it touches you.
• Whenever you cast a fire damage spell, fiery magic erupts from you, creatures of your choice within 10 feet takes fire damage equal to half your sorcerer level (minimum of 1).
• You gain resistance to fire damage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) per long rest.

Nourishing Fire

Your soul has begun to transform. Your fire spells soothe and restore you. When you expend a spell slot to cast a spell that includes a fire damage roll, you regain hit points equal to the slot’s level + your Charisma modifier.

Extreme Combustion

14th-level Phoenix Soul feature

The fiery energy within you grows restless and vengeful. In the face of defeat, it surges outward in a fiery roar.

When you are reduced to 0 hp, you can use your reaction to drop to 1 hp instead and cause your body to erupt in flames. Each creature of your choice within 30ft of you takes fire damage equal to 2d10 + your sorcerer level. You then gain 1 level of exhaustion.

If you use this feature while under the Mantle of the Flame, the explosion deals extra fire damage equal to double your Charisma modifier.

Once you use this ability, you cannot do so until your next long rest.
