[QUOTE="EpicureanDM, post: 7986702, member: 6996003"] Here are the Sorcerer house rules I've collected and used over the years. Hope some of them are helpful. [LIST] [*][U]Constitution[/U] is the primary stat for Sorcerers. Power comes from your blood, not your face. [*]Sorcerers can use a free hand as a material component, it emphasizes the power within. Still need verbal and somatic components, still need expendable components if the spell requires them. [*][B]Use the spell point system from the DMG. Put spell points and sorcery points into the same pool.[/B] We tend to call it the spell pool, but the important thing to remember is that the pool can be used for spells, metamagic, or both. Just one, big, slushy pool. [*]All sorcerers know all forms of metamagic once they hit 3rd level. Their [U]access [/U]to metamagic is restricted at first and loosens up as they gain levels. [LIST] [*]You get three metamagic "slots" at 3rd level, which means that you have access to three types at a time. You can swap different forms of metamagic into those slots after each long rest if you wish. [*]You get more slots as you gain levels: 1 more at 6th, 2 more at 10th, 1 more at 14th, and the last slot at 17th. So, at 17th, level, sorcerer have access to all eight forms of metamagic at all times. [/LIST] [*]All subclasses get some additional spells. Each origin has a list of spells—its origin spells—that you gain at the sorcerer levels noted in the origin description. These spells do not count against your number of sorcerer spells known, and if an origin spell doesn't appear on the sorcerer spell list, the spell is nonetheless a sorcerer spell for you. [*]Draconic: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Command [*]Level 3: Dragon's Breath [*]Level 5: Fly [*]Level 7: Elemental Bane (with poison added as an option) [*]Level 9: Dominate Person [/LIST] [*]Wild Magic: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Chaos Bolt [*]Level 3: Enlarge/Reduce [*]Level 5: Dispel Magic [*]Level 7: Polymorph [*]Level 9: Reincarnate [/LIST] [*]Storm: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Thunderwave [*]Level 3: Shatter [*]Level 5: Call Lightning [*]Level 7: Storm Sphere [*]Level 9: Destructive Wave [/LIST] [*]Divine Soul: (Based on alignment, good/neutral/evil) [LIST] [*]Level 1: (Divine Magic feature) [*]Level 3: Lesser Restoration / Spiritual Weapon / Crown of Madness [*]Level 5: Revivify / Spirit Guardians / Vampiric Touch [*]Level 7: Guardian of Faith / Banishment / Blight [*]Level 9: Dawn / Dispel Evil and Good / Insect Plague [/LIST] [*]Shadow: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Bane [*]Level 3: Darkvision [*]Level 5: Vampiric Touch [*]Level 7: Shadow of Moil [*]Level 9: Negative Energy Flood [/LIST] [*]Stone: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Earth Tremor [*]Level 3: Max's Earthen Grasp [*]Level 5: Erupting Earth [*]Level 7: Stone Shape [*]Level 9: Transmute Rock [/LIST] [*]Sea: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Create or Destroy Water [*]Level 3: Misty Step [*]Level 5: Tidal Wave [*]Level 7: Control Water [*]Level 9: Maelstrom [/LIST] [*]Phoenix: [LIST] [*]Level 1: Burning Hands [*]Level 3: Flaming Sphere [*]Level 5: Revivify [*]Level 7: Fire Shield [*]Level 9: Raise Dead [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
