#sorcerer 5e

[caught-in-a-tism]

I made a sorcerer subclass for angsty military characters. It's mechanically based around getting up close with enemies and risking harm just to take them down with you, and thematically based around dying for a cause you may or may not believe in.

oh my god look at me being so cool and productive (this was entirely impulsive)

Frost Ward

3rd level abjuration (druid, sorcerer, wizard)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 30ft

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 hour

You freeze the air around another willing creature you can see within range, forming it into a protective layer of frost. The targeted creature gains 4d6 temporary hit points. Once per turn while the creature has these hit points, when it takes damage from an attack, you can immediately deal cold damage equal to your spellcasting modifier to the attacker.

At higher levels. When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the amount of temporary hit points increases by 1d6 for each spell level above 3rd.

When I was making my lil illusion-centric caster rogue character that I'm playing in a campaign soon, I had realized that not only is there a general lack of illusion spells, there doesn't seem to be any support themed illusion spells. Which is clearly a massive oversight on WotC's part, becos support illusion can have so much flavor.

So have this one! Inspired by both a support-centric illusion buff and also the character's flavor too.

Our campaign invovled some bugs that ate magic and the party's sorcerer was suffering.

Gothica Refsheet

Finally made a refrence sheet for my scared coffee lock Gothica. She's a wild magic sorcerer and a fiend warlock. She's terrified of her patron and wants out of her cursed debt.

~Sorcerer: Pyrrhic Sorcery~

Unleash an Inferno of Emotion

Your power draws from the ravenous flame that fuels your very life force. You may have ties to an elemental phoenix, to the fey court of summer, or perhaps to the power of the sun itself. This brilliant inferno roils with the vigor of your very lifeforce, often turning volatile through surges of powerful emotion.

This tempestuous soulfire discriminates not in its capacity for destruction, even for those who wield it. Incandescent sorcerers often find themselves at the mercy of their own power, vulnerable to the fiery cataclysm as anyone else.

Even still, amid this destructive power is the essence of life that fuels it. Pyrrhic Sorcerers often learn to bolster their own lifeforce, clinging to a fervent refusal to burn out for good.

A high-risk, high-reward Sorcerous Origin inspired by that one Phoenix Sorcery subclass that never got out of UA. Dedicated to the lad himself, Pepper Brooks.

Revisiting an old fav and giving her a new look! Here’s Sayana in her ✨Formal✨ outfit! Another piece for fun to start off the year! Plus there’s someone who’s also getting a fancy fit with her👁��

someone on quora suggested that to improve sorcerers in d&d 5e, they should be able to pick spells from any of the spell lists, since that's more in line with their flavor as "raw magical nexuses", and I've never agreed with a take on sorcerers more.

OP said "let sorcerers have fun, metamagic is all they have".

Like yes that's literally why I'm always looking at this class, what's all this about *draconic* bloodlines and storm sorcerers, if I'm going to be a character that has a direct throughline to magic in a setting with divine and eldritch planes of existence, why am I themed around "flying creature" and "influencing mundane phenomena"?

A subclass that's similar to the paladins' oath of the watchers makes more sense for the sorcerer than half the subclasses they have, and it makes no sense that they don't have that, particularly because it would also be an excellent foil to what the paladin has and definitely what the wizard - through study - attains.

This is a fantasy game, don't make it harder for me to not be saddled by the themes of university casting boi, deal with patron casting boi, and pinky promise boi.

ITS LIFEWEAVER DAYYYY

As part of my tradition of releasing a new subclass for each OW hero, I'm really chuffed to present the Bloomheart sorcerer! The kit is built around manipulating the positions of your allies to swing them to safety or set them up for really big plays, while also having a small dash of healing and general support as well.

I had a ton of fun making it, and I hope y'all have a ton of fun reading and playing!

Oh to be an angry little sorcerer ostracised by society that lives in a castle made of bones.

A quick reference of Sun (He/They), my tielfing-aasimar divine soul sorcerer for a game one of my friends run! ☀️✨

I forgot to add that they're 6'10" (2.10m) at the top of their head and 30 years old 👀

We're playing in a Mexican Revolution setting, but Sun was born overseas. The church always took care of him, and they've been told they're the Son of Helios. A lot of people like him, others doubt of him because of his horns. He truly believed in Helios as a child... but with due time he noticed something about this religion was off...

His caretakers always kept him from learning about other religions. Now he's certain his religion is hiding something. So far we've discovered some corruption on people that were too involved in the church of Helios 👀 We'll see what happens next... Also the cleric of the group bullies him, asking "How's Daddy (Helios) doing?" And as Sun doesn't speak to him, he's always like "Oh, you know, He's okay."

COMMUNE

I've been kicking around sketches of this moment in the campaign for a while now (like a few years...) and finally worked it out!

Even though Lamia is mechanically a sorlock, in practice she's flavoured more like a Grave Cleric. Unfortunately her patron the Raven Queen was really elusive/never directly contacted her, and since she didn't have access to the Commune spell, things got a little difficult. At one point our party got so desperate for any sort of direction, we broke into the catacombs and I RP'd an intense Speak with Dead ritual that I burned a high level spell slot on while the rest of the party had to distract guards and monks. Thankfully the DM allowed it to essentially work as the Commune spell!

OK okokok... gonna put this 'I just woke up' thought out there because this is tumblr and what else is it for? Someone has probably already said this and I haven't seen it, but whatever. I will throw it out anyway.

SO... Gale. We've all seen the posts where people quote the Gale lines about being naturally gifted with magic as a baby, a prodigy etc. and then point out that this is sorcerer behaviour.

BUT, what if... you're all right and it is sorcerer behaviour. BUT the orb feeds on weave/magic right? And sorcerers are born with innate magic... so what if he was born a sorcerer, then trained as a wizard, but the orb consumed his sorcerous magic. And that's why he's not as powerful as he once was, because, unbeknownst to him, all this time, he's been using that natural sorcerous connection to make accessing the weave easier. And now that's gone. Eaten up. Destroyed forever by the Netherese void.

And that's part of what's causing him pain. Because an instrinsic part of himself has been taken away. And he feels it like a phantom limb. Maybe he thinks it was actually connected to his relationship with Mystra, rather than a part of him, and that adds to his sense of loss from that relationship.

What if the first magic item Gale fed to the orb was himself and he doesn't even realise it?
