Level 1
Choose a subclass:
Crimson Dynasty sorcerers harness the ancient magic of blood and life essence. They twist and guide the flow of this quintessential energy as a hunger grows deep within them. They manipulate their power to infuse the vitality of others, or they can rip it away and steal it for themselves.
Crimson Dynasty sorcery can be acquired in a variety of ways. Some with this power were born with it. Others were infused with it through a dark ritual or grim event. There are those who discover it through lost secrets.
Consult the Crimson Origins table for a possible origin of your power.
You are a creature of shadow, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it. The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul.
Your innate magic comes from the power of elemental air. Many with this power can trace their magic back to a near-death experience caused by the Great Rain, but perhaps you were born during a howling gale so powerful that folk still tell stories of it, or your lineage might include the influence of potent air creatures such as vaati or djinn. Whatever the case, the magic of the storm permeates your being.
Storm sorcerers are invaluable members of a ship's crew. Their magic allows them to exert control over wind and weather in their immediate area. Their abilities also prove useful in repelling attacks by sahuagin, pirates, and other waterborne threats.
Your innate magic comes from the wild forces of chaos that underlie the order of creation. You might have endured exposure to some form of raw magic, perhaps through a planar portal leading to Limbo, the Elemental Planes, or the mysterious Far Realm. Perhaps you were blessed by a powerful fey creature or marked by a demon. Or your magic could be a fluke of your birth, with no apparent cause or reason. However it came to be, this chaotic magic churns within you, waiting for any outlet.
An event in your past, or in the life of a parent or ancestor, left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic, whatever its origins, fuels your spells.
Cantrips. You know 4 cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list.
Known Spells. The Spells Known column of the sorcerer spell slot table shows how many sorcerer spells you know at any given level. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may choose one of the spells you know, and replace it with any other sorcerer spell. Each spell you learn can only be of a spell slot level you have.
Spellcasting Focus. You may use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells.
Spellcasting Ability. Your spellcasting ability is CHA.
Spell Save DC. 8 + proficiency + CHA
Spell attack modifier. proficiency + CHA

Flexible Casting. You may use your sorcery points to gain additional spell slots, or sacrifice spell slots to gain additional sorcery points.
Creating Spell Slots. You may transform unexpended sorcery points into a spell slot level as a bonus action on your turn. The cost increases with the spell slot level: 2 sorcery points for a 1st level spell slot, 3 points for 2nd level, 5 points for 3rd level, 6 points for 4th level and 7 points for 5th level. You cannot create spell slots of 6th level or higher. Any spell slot you create with this feature vanishes after a long rest.

Careful Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, you may protect some of those creature's from the spell's full force. You may spend 1 sorcery point and choose a number of creatures up to your CHA (minimum of 1). A chosen creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw against the spell.
Distant Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that has a range of 5ft. or greater, you may spend 1 sorcery point to double the range of the spell. Alternatively, if the spell has a range of touch, you may spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell 30ft.
Empowered Spell. Whenever you roll for damage for a spell, you may spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your CHA (minimum of 1). You must use the new rolls. You may use this Metamagic option even if you already used a different one during the casting of the spell.
Extended Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you may spend 1 sorcery point to double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.
Heightened Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you may spend 3 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.
Quickened Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you may spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.
Seeking Spell. If you make an attack roll for a spell and miss, you may spend 2 sorcerer points to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll. You may use this Metamagic option even if you already used a different one during the casting of the spell.
Subtle Spell. Whenever you cast a spell, you may spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.
Transmuted Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison or thunder damage, you may spend 1 sorcery point to change that damage type to any of the listed types.
Twinned Spell. Whenever you cast a spell that targets only 1 creature and does not have a range of self, you may spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell. You spend 1 sorcery points if the spell is a cantrip. To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more that one creature at the spell's current level.
