Devil Soul

The Devil Soul sorcerer’s innate magic comes from the infernal powers of the nine layers of Hell. Sorcerers of this origin may trace their magic back to a devil ancestor, they could be the descendant of an accursed deal, they were exposed to Hellfire that corrupted their magic, or they were born under the conditions of a dark prophecy. The most common creatures born of this origin are Tieflings, due to their strong infernal bloodline. 

Consider the importance of the origin of your character’s innate magic and how it might affect them. Was it from a specific type of devil? Do they know where their magic comes from? How does it affect their relationships with those around them?

Arcane Damnation

Starting at 1st level, your learn the Vicious Mockery and Produce Flame cantrips. These cantrips count as Sorcerer cantrips for you and they don’t count against the numbers of sorcerer cantrips known.

When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the warlock spell list or the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all other restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.

In addition, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Arcane Damnation Spells table. These count as Sorcerer spells for you, but do not count against the number of spells you know. These spells cannot be replaced.

Wicked Heritage

Starting at 1st level, your innate magic grants you fiendish knowledge. You can speak, read, and write Infernal and Abyssal. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with fiends, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

Veil of the Damned

Starting at 6th level, you’re able to connect with the infernal magic that lies within your soul and unleash Hell in a devilish form. As a bonus action, you transform for 1 minute and take on supernatural features of a devil. These features may include horns, fiery hair, clawed nails, elongated canine teeth, unnatural skin tones, slit pupils or solid colored eyes, etc. You may choose features closely associated with your fiendish heritage. You gain the following benefits:

• You are considered a Fiend while in this form.
• You gain advantage on Charisma(intimidation) ability checks on creatures that are not fiends and gain advantage on Charisma(persuasion) ability checks with fiends.
• Your AC increases by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier(minimum of one).

A target takes fire damage equal to 1d6 + your proficiency bonus on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save, as you drag infernal flames back from the nine layers of Hell.
