Sorcerer Aberrant Mind

SPELLCASTINGPHB P99
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 origin, fuels your spells. See chapter 10 for
the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the sorcerer spell list.
CANTRIPS
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. You learn an additional
sorcerer cantrip of your choice at 4th level and another at 10th level.
SPELL SLOTS
The Sorcerer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your sorcerer spells of 1st level and
higher. To cast one of these sorcerer spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell
slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
SPELLS KNOWN OF 1ST LEVEL AND HIGHER
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the sorcerer spell list.
You learn an additional sorcerer spell of your choice at each level except 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th,
19th, and 20th. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance,
when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know
and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which
you have spell slots.
SPELLCASTING ABILITY
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since the power of your magic relies on
your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC
for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
 Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
SPELLCASTING FOCUS
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells.
SORCEROUS ORIGINPHB P99
Choose a sorcerous origin, which describes the source of your innate magical power, from the list of
available origins.
Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 14th, and 18th
level.
ABERRANT MINDTCE P66
An alien influence has wrapped its tendrils around your mind, giving you psionic power. You can now
touch other minds with that power and alter the world around you by using it to control the magical
energy of the multiverse. Will this power shine from you as a hopeful beacon to others? Or will you be
a source of terror to those who feel the stab of your mind and witness the strange manifestations of
your might?
As an Aberrant Mind sorcerer, you decide how you acquired your powers. Were you born with them?
Or did an event later in life leave you shining with psionic awareness? Consult the Aberrant Origins
table for a possible origin of your power.
Aberrant Origins
d6 Origin
You were exposed to the Far Realm's warping influence. You are convinced that a tentacle is now
1
growing on you, but no one else can see it.
A psychic wind from the Astral Plane carried psionic energy to you. When you use your powers,
2
faint motes of light sparkle around you.
3 You once suffered the dominating powers of an aboleth, leaving a psychic splinter in your mind.
You were implanted with a mind flayer tadpole, but the ceremorphosis never completed. And now
4
its psionic power is yours. When you use it, your flesh shines with a strange mucus.
As a child, you had an imaginary friend that looked like a flumph or a strange platypus-like
5 creature. One day, it gifted you with psionic powers, which have ended up being not so
imaginary.
Your nightmares whisper the truth to you: your psionic powers are not your own. You draw them
6
from your parasitic twin!
PSIONIC SPELLS
1st-level Aberrant Mind feature
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Psionic Spells
table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number
of sorcerer spells you know.
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with
another spell of the same level. The new spell must be a divination or an enchantment spell from the
sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.

to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 mile). To understand each other, you each must speak
mentally in a language the other knows.
The telepathic connection lasts for a number of minutes equal to your sorcerer level. It ends early if
you are incapacitated or die or if you use this ability to form a connection with a different creature.
FONT OF MAGICPHB P99

sorcery points, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.

sorcery points. You learn other ways to use your sorcery points as you reach higher levels.
