Sorcerer. Sorcerers are practitioners of magic born with the innate
ability to cast spells. It is thought that the blood of some
powerful creature flows through their veins; perhaps they
are the spawn of the gods themselves, or even dragons
walking in human form.
Regardless, the Sorcerer's magic is intuitive rather than
logical. They know fewer spells than Mages, acquiring
them only when they gain levels, but what spells they know
can be cast more often and without the need to select and
prepare them before use. They cannot specialize in magic
as Mages can, but apart from these differences, Sorcerers
and Mages are very similar.
Hit Dice: d4
Alignment: Any
Features:
- Weapons and Armor. The Sorcerer may not wear any armor (including
shields or helmets), but may wear robes and use ioun stones. The
Sorcerer's weapons are limited to the following: Dagger, Quarterstaff,
Dart, and Sling.
- Proficiency. The Sorcerer may achieve, but not exceed, Proficiency in
any weapon they can use. They may not become Proficient with any
fighting style.
- Spellcasting. The Sorcerer begins at 1st level knowing a small selection
of level 1 spells, and learns new spells automatically at every level
thereafter. The Sorcerer eventually learns up to level 9 spells. The
Sorcerer may not write spells into their spellbook from scrolls found in
the world as Mages do.
- Spontaneous Casting. The Sorcerer does not need to memorize spells
in order to cast them. Instead, they can use any available spell slot to
cast any spell they know of that slot's level.
