Base Class: Sorcerer
Following the immense trauma and suffering of the Age of Worms, strange magic began to well up from the ground like geysers. Among these mysterious magical effects were the corruption of bloodlines. These people were gifted, or cursed, with the power of the far realm. As such, they take on the traits of the creatures of the deep, learning horrible sorcerers from being of pure madness. They are one of the Aberrant Brood.

All targeted creatures that are within this radius can be forced to make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 5d6 psychic damage on a failed save. In addition, for every creature damaged, you regain 1 sorcery point. The area of effect costs 1 Action, and last for 1 round. It recharges on a long rest.
this is kinda op to where it wouldn't even be fun i think get rid of the immunities and make them resistances instead
Gibbering mouther immunity to acid seems op; it is a common damage type an getting a 1st level immunity is really strong. Change it to resistance. Slaad ability should only be able to be used a number of times equal to your PB.
