Sorcerer
Base Class: Sorcerer

Your innate magic comes from aberrant life force that was imbued in your bloodline in the days of yore. Most often, sorcerers with this origin trace their lineage along a line of freed thralls, or occasionally from a reformed aberration's attempt to assimilate into society, although the latter is rare. Being descended from an aberration, some of the physical traits that present themselves make you prone to hiding from common folk.

Aberration Ancestor

At 1st level, you choose one type of aberration as your ancestor. The ancestor you choose bestows an ability upon you, as well as physical characteristics, which are up to you and the dungeon master.

Far Realm Armor

As the anomalies in your blood increase in power, physical traits of your eldritch ancestors to emerge. As a result, parts of your skin secrete a thin layer of mucous that allow you to avoid incoming attacks. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 15 + your Dexterity modifier.

Eldritch Consumption

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals psychic damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell. Simultaneously, you can spend 1 sorcery point to gain health equal to half the damage dealt by the spell.

Otherworldly Levitation

At 14th level, you learn how to control vertical position of you and others with mere force of will, gaining a flying (hover) speed equal to half your current speed. 

You can also cast Levitate at will a number of times equal to your CHA modifier per long rest.

Presence of Insanity

Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the eldritch insanity of your aberrant ancestor, causing those around you to become confused and frightened. As an action, you can spend 5 sorcery points to radiate an aura of confusion and fear to a distance of 30 feet. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were casting a concentration spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be under the effects of the Confusion spell and frightened until the aura ends.
