Astral Influence 2024

Sometimes the magic that fuels a sorcerer comes from a  source that isn't easy to explain. Having abilities that can influence the sources of luck, your innate magic might come from divine forces. Perhaps your birth might align with an ancient prophecy, marking you favored by the gods. Or maybe you were simply born lucky.

An Astral Influence Sorcerer might be seen as a threat by most Order Domain religions. Stealing or granting favor to people can be seen as bending or abusing a system set in place by the gods themselves. However, in some cultures, the ability to bend luck is seen as a sign of a divine blessing, and the Astral Influenced may even command religious power. The only place where most people agree, is that an Astral Influenced should not be allowed near a gambling hall.

Starting at 14th level, you can call on Astral powers to alter fate in your and your companions favor.

Once per Long Rest you can, as an action, curse up to six targets, that you can see, thereby stealing their luck. The targets must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Spell Save DC, or have their luck taken away. Whenever a target that fails this save makes an attack roll or a saving throw, the target must subtract 1d4 from the attack roll or save for one hour.

For each creature that becomes cursed this way, you can grant a creature (including yourself), that you can see, the stolen luck, providing them with a bonus of 1d4 to all its attack rolls and saving throws.
