Class Description

Sorcerers are spellcasters who draw on inherent magic from a gift or bloodline. Their magic is often wild and unpredictable, making them both powerful and sometimes dangerous. Sorcerers have a natural talent for spellcasting, using their charisma to fuel their magical abilities.

Sorcerers can manipulate their spells in unique ways through Metamagic, allowing them to adapt their magic to different situations. Their spell list includes a variety of offensive, defensive, and utility spells, making them versatile in combat and exploration.

Sorcerers typically have a high Charisma score, which enhances their spellcasting abilities and social interactions. They are often charismatic and persuasive, using their natural charm to influence others.

At higher levels, sorcerers can choose a Sorcerous Origin, which grants them additional abilities and spells based on their magical heritage, such as Draconic Bloodline or Wild Magic.
