CLASS FEATURES
1
Breath Weapon
When you cast a spell with the breath weapon keyword, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to re-use it later in the battle. Each breath weapon spell lists the chance of re-using it during the same battle (usually 16+). Make the re-use roll at the start of each of your turns: success indicates that you can use that spell again that round as a standard action, if you wish. You don’t get to stockpile uses—whether you use the spell again or not, you must make the re-use roll during each round of the battle.
After the battle, the breath weapon power is expended. You don’t get to keep rolling all day.
You can have only one breath weapon spell active at a time. If you cast a different breath weapon spell when you have an earlier spell active, the new spell cancels the earlier spell. (See the Chromatic Destroyer Heritage talent for the path to multiple breath weapon spells.)
Failing a death save cancels any breath weapon spells you have active.
2
Chain
When you attack with a chain spell and get a natural even roll, you can roll another attack against a different enemy within range. Keep on rolling attacks as long as you get even rolls and don’t run out of new targets (each enemy can be targeted only once).
3
Gather power
Once initiative has been rolled and a battle is underway, a sorcerer can spend a standard action to gather magical power, preparing themselves for casting a double-strength spell with their next standard action. Gathering power is loud and flashy, involving crackling lightning, rumbling thunder, and the flicker of magical light.
Sorcerers who want to gather power before initiative has been rolled can go through the motions but won’t get any benefit for the act; you can fool yourself but you can’t fool magic.
Gather power: When a sorcerer gathers power, it does not count as casting a spell; you can gather power without taking opportunity attacks, for example.
In addition, because you spend your standard action to gather power, you generate a small magical benefit. Like many of your powers, this benefit is chaotic rather than perfectly reliable, so you must make a random check to see what benefit you get. Roll a d6 and consult the appropriate table below.
If you get a benefit that deals damage to enemies, you can choose the type of damage (cold, fire, lightning, or thunder).
Chaotic Benefit, Champion Tier (levels 5-7)
1-2: You gain a +1 bonus to AC and Physical Defense until the
start of your next turn.
3-4: Deal damage equal to your level (7) + your Charisma modifier (14)
to all nearby staggered enemies.
5-6: Deal damage equal to your level (7) + your Charisma modifier (14)
to one nearby enemy.
4
Dancing Lights
All sorcerers can cast the dancing lights spell as a standard action. Unlike the wizard’s light cantrip, the sorcerer’s dancing lights spell produces a number of varicolored light globes that bloom within 5 to 30 feet of the sorcerer every two to five seconds. The sorcerer has very little control over the exact location or illumination provided by the lights, meaning that they can occasionally be used for dramatic plot purposes.
5
Random Energy
Some sorcerer spells deal damage of a random type. If it matters mechanically, use a d4 to determine which type of damage the spell deals. If it doesn’t matter, because none of the targets have resistances or vulnerabilities to any particular energy, feel free to state the energy that seems right for the story, or roll it if you wish and the game can spare the time.
Random Energy Type (d4) 1: Cold
2: Fire
3: Lightning 4: Thunder
Character description
Enzo Diamondborn
Background story
Unknown to Enzo he is the reincarnation of legendary sorcerer Garik Firebrand. He grew up traveling around with his parents, who were merchants. Enzo learned how to do the haggling, charming and dealing with customers from his father and mother. Very helpful because he needed to make new friends often. On the road, he read all the stories about the legendary heroes and he decided he wants to be just like them! So when finally he was adult at the age of 60 he struck out on his own. He quickly met and befriended Bazkar and Ghorza and slayed plenty of trolls together. When they arrived in the city to stock up, he heard Rhiannon tell the most amazing tales and he quickly got re-inspired to make a bigger dent in the fate of the kingdom! Rhiannon introduced him to Si'trova.
Some random ideas about Garrik Firebrand
He's a legendary sorcerer who achieved something extremely great (to be decided).
He had several companions among who were a dwarf named Harkk (famous for his magical hammer).
He was allied with a yellow-green dragon named Azyvax who breathed fire.
He was very charismatic (being a legendary sorcerer that's not very odd) and sometimes helped in negotiations between factions, but he was not known for being very politically correct.
There are rumours about him and the Elf Queen. Not sure if that's the same elf queen as there is now.
