Revised Draconic Sorcery

Heyya! Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer is my absolute favorite Sorcerer subclass, but it hasn’t aged very well whatsoever. And D&D 2024 buffed it to the bare minimum, but then made other parts of it worse. So this is my answer to that!

Draconic Ancestry

Choose your Draconic Ancestry. The type you choose affects the abilities and spells you gain at this level and at later levels for this subclass.

Chromatic Ancestry

When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Chromatic Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Unfortunately, due to capitalism, Elemental Bane must be added manually.

Gem Ancestry

Draconic Resilience

The magic in your body manifests physical traits of your draconic gift. Your Hit Point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 whenever you gain another Sorcerer level.

Parts of you are also covered by dragon-like scales. While you aren’t wearing armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Charisma modifiers.

You can speak, read, and write Draconic. Additionally, you have advantage on Charisma checks when interacting with dragons.

Draconic Spells

When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Draconic Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Unfortunately, due to capitalism, Summon Draconic Spirit must be added manually.

Draconic Spells

Sorcerer Level	Spells
3	Alter Self, Command, Dragon’s Breath, Thaumaturgy, Sorcerous Burst
5	Fear, Fly
7	Arcane Eye, Charm Monster
9	Legend Lore, Summon Draconic Spirit

Elemental Affinity

Your draconic magic has an affinity with a damage type associated with dragons. Choose one of those types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, Necrotic, Poison, Psychic, Radiant, or Thunder.

You have Resistance to that damage type, and when you cast a spell that deals damage of that type, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell. At 14th level, this bonus applies to every damage roll of a spell meeting this criteria.

In addition, when you use the Transmuted Spell Metamagic option, you can change the damage type of any spell to match your ancestry.

Force Damage

You have chosen Force damage.

Necrotic Damage

You have chosen Necrotic damage.

Psychic Damage

You have chosen Psychic damage.

Radiant Damage

You have chosen Radiant damage.

Thunder Damage

You have chosen Thunder damage.

Manifest Ancestry

You can cast the Alter Self spell by spending 1 sorcery point. When cast in this way, it doesn’t require any components or require concentration. At 14th level, you are always under the effects of Alter Self.

Dragon Wings

You sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed.

Ancestral Companion

You can cast Summon Draconic Spirit without a Material component. You can also cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast it by expending 5 Sorcery Points.

Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn’t require Concentration. If you do so, the spell’s duration becomes 1 minute for that casting. You cannot have more than 1 spell active with this modification at once.

Draconic Ascension

You learn the Shapechange spell, it counts as a sorcerer spell for you, and doesn’t count against the maximum number of sorcerer spells you can prepare. You can cast this spell without expending a spell slot. When cast in this way, it doesn’t require any components, but you can only use it to transform into an adult dragon matching your ancestry, and it only lasts for 1 minute. Once you cast the spell in this way, you cannot cast it again until you finish a Long Rest.
