Innate casterPlaystyle
A born spellcaster who bends spells with Metamagic.
Sorcerers have magic in their blood and cast with Charisma. They know fewer spells than Wizards, but Metamagic lets them twin, quicken or extend spells using Sorcery Points. Draconic Sorcerers are tougher and boost one element, Wild Magic ones trigger random surges, and Storm Sorcerers fly after casting.
