This document provides a collection of six alternative sorcerous origins and metamagic options for the sorcerer class in 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. The material in this article is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination.

Subclasses included:

Dark Soul: Your soul is inextricably linked to Hades – the realm of the dead – an ashen grey waste filled with despair. Your very presence is enough to wilt flowers and send chills through those nearby. You possess an innate ability to manipulate the deaths of others, preventing or accelerating their journey to the realm.

Elementalist: Born of the primal forces of the multiverse, you instinctively feel the ebb and flow of the four elements around you. Your power primarily comes from the Elemental Plane, where the forces of air, earth, fire and water call out to you. As your mastery of grows, you learn how to reshape these forces, bending them to your will.

Temporal Scion: By some strange stroke of luck (or misfortune) you are able to see through the folds of time and space, reading the ripples of fate and reacting to things before they happen. As your power grows, your gifts allow you to alter the flow of time around you, giving you unnatural speed and foresight.

Feyborn: Wonder and bliss. Your presence evokes a euphoria that few can resist. The very beauty of the Feywild seeps through your blood. Your lineage is possibly linked to an ancient fey ancestor, or perhaps you were born in the realm and are imbued with its magical essence. Whatever the truth, you bring an aura of mischief and mystery wherever you go.

Demonkin: Chaos, destruction and violence are in your blood. Whether you choose to accept these gifts or deny them, there is no doubt that your heritage is tied to the Abyss and the demonic entities who call it home. It is unclear whether you draw your power from the realm itself, or more frighteningly, that your ancestors were aligned with demons, trading their souls for power.

Hellspawn: At some point during your ancestry, a deal was struck with an entity from the Nine Hells that has extended into your lifetime. Echoes of their blood remain, calling to you, granting unfathomable powers from the infernal realms. Instinctively, you have an uncanny knack for double talk
and negotiation, granted from your heritage. Your curious and cunning mind is adept at uncovering the secrets of others turning it against them.
