Sorcerer
Base Class: Sorcerer

Your innate magic comes from the dragon blood coursing through your veins, passed to you by a patron or your ancestors. Most often, sorcerers with this origin trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent. Some of these bloodlines are well established in the world, but most are obscure. Any given sorcerer could be the first of a new bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional circumstance.

Draconic Magic

1st-level Draconic Ancestor feature

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Draconic Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

Draconic Spells
Sorcerer Level Spells

3rd Darkvision (Self), See Invisibility
5th Fear, Glyph of Warding
7th Locate Creature, Private Sanctum
9th Geas, Legend Lore

In addition, the spells Elemental Bane, Thaumaturgy, and True Polymorph are added to your sorcerer spell list. True Polymorph may only transform yourself, and only into a dragon of the same basic type as your Draconic Ancestor (black, gold etc.).

Draconic Ancestor

1st-level Draconic Ancestor feature

You can speak, read, and write Draconic, and whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check. In addition, you must choose one type of dragon as your ancestor, its associated damage type will be used at later levels.

Draconic Toughness

1st-level Draconic Ancestor feature

Your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. In addition, when you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Draconic Affinity

6th-level Draconic Ancestor feature

Whenever you cast a spell that deals the damage type of your Draconic Ancestor, you deal extra damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). You also gain the following metamagic options in addition to those that you already know:

Metamagic: Draconic Fury

When you cast a spell that deals damage of the same type as your Draconic Ancestor, and applies only to a single target, you may spend one sorcery point to make a single weapon attack or unarmed strike against the same target as a bonus action.

Metamagic: Draconic Resistance

When you cast a spell that deals damage of the same type as your Draconic Ancestor you may spend one sorcery point to gain resistance to that damage type for one hour.

Draconic Flight

14th-level Draconic Ancestor feature

You can sprout or dismiss a pair of dragon wings from your back as a bonus action, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You cannot sprout your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not adjusted for your wings may be destroyed if you sprout them.

In addition, you may spend five sorcery points to increase your winged flying speed to 60 feet for one hour as a bonus action, and may do this as part of the bonus action to sprout your wings.

Draconic Form

18th-level Draconic Ancestor feature

You gain the ability to unleash the full power of your draconic ancestry! You learn the True Polymorph spell if you do not already know it, though it still may only be used to transform yourself into a dragon of the same basic type as your Draconic Ancestor (green, topaz etc.). When you do so, you may spend 10 sorcery points to gain the following additional benefits:

  • You may retain any worn equipment that can accomodate your new form, otherwise items merge with your form as normal.
  • You gain access to any Legendary and Lair Actions of your new form. Your Legendary Actions are regained only at the end of a short rest. To establish a lair you must spend at least an hour each day for a month within a suitable terrain feature. Any existing lair begins to return to normal once a new lair is established, once True Polymorph ends for you, or if you have spent less than twenty fours inside your lair during the last month.
  • You may cast sorcerer cantrips and spells up to 5th level using your own Spellcasting feature, casting modifier, spells etc., ignoring uncosted material components, but may not have costed material components. Spells of 1st to 5th level cast in this way consume a Legendary Action instead of a spell slot.
