“In the pulsing veins of our ancestors lies the power of ages, coursing through our bloodlines with ancient might.”

Deep within your lineage lies a dormant power, inherited from a supernatural ancestor. While other spellcasters devote themselves to years of study and practice, you were born with your magic coursing through your veins. For Sorcerers, power manifests in adolescence, growing in strength with each passing year. Yet, unlike their counterparts, Sorcerers are bound by the constraints of their bloodline, their repertoire of spells limited by ancestral inheritance.

The path of the Sorcerer is fraught with peril, for with each invocation of their ancestral magic, they risk succumbing to corruption. Those of demonic descent may find themselves consumed by unbridled chaos and physical deformity, while those of draconic heritage may be tempted by cruelty and arrogance. And those touched by fairy blood may drift further from the norms of society, embracing an otherworldly detachment.

Yet, the allure of this power is undeniable. Sorcerers command raw, untamed forces beyond the reach of their peers, unbound by the chains of traditional training. Their freedom to explore other pursuits alongside their magic is a testament to the unparalleled might they wield.

In the dance between heritage and destiny, the Sorcerer stands as both custodian and conduit, wielding the legacy of their bloodline with unparalleled potency. But with great power comes great risk, as they navigate the delicate balance between mastery and corruption.

When you select Sorcerer as your class, increase your Foresight by +1. You will receive a second attribute improvement when you select your Bloodline.

When you select the Sorcerer as your class, increase your maximum stamina by twenty-five, plus five times your Body score. Your recoveries are equal to your Body plus four.

The Sorcerer's skill set is as diverse as their magical lineage. You are trained in shields. Choose any four skills, plus additional skills equal to your Education score. Each chosen skill receives a +1 bonus to its training. You will also receive one additional skill training from your choice of Bloodline.

Add your level to your Foresight defence. You will also receive a defensive benefit from your Bloodline.

Any combat training that the Sorcerer might have received prior to their Bloodline manifesting often gets forgotten or ignored.

The ability to cast spells is one of the more central powers granted to a Sorcerer. Your spellcasting attribute is Foresight, and you cast spells in accordance to the rules found on page

Your spells are powered by Æther. At the beginning of every encounter, you will have Æther equal to your current Victories. At the start of each round, you will automatically gain one Æther, up to a maximum of your Level plus your Foresight. If Sorcerer is a Hybrid class for you, your maximum Æther is equal to your Foresight only.

Choose three Power 1 spells from the spell list for your Bloodline, and add them to the list of spells you know. Every time you gain a level, choose two additional spells from your Bloodline list whose Power does not exceed your level, and add them to the list of spells you know. If Sorcerer is a Hybrid class for you, you start with only two Power 1 spells, and gain only one spell per level.

If you select Sorcerer as a Hybrid Class, you gain parts of their Bloodline and Spellcasting features. The Spellcasting feature already outlines the differences between the normal Sorcerer and the Hybrid Sorcerer.

When you select your Bloodline, you gain their basic attack only. You do not gain their attribute bonus or their defensive bonus, nor do you gain their skill training.

When selecting the Sorcerer as your Hybrid class, you must select one Corruption from the list for your Bloodline. This is a free choice, not rolled.

The magic in your heritage provides more than only spellcasting; it also can affect your body and personality. Many Sorcerer features have the option for Corruption. Typically, the Corrupted version of a Sorcerer feature is more powerful, but also twists your body or mind in some manner. Whenever you select a Sorcerer feature, and choose to take the Corrupted version, you will gain a Corruption from the table appropriate to your bloodline. The feature will instruct you how to select a Corruption, but it typically involves a die roll.

No single Corruption may be gained more than once. If you gain a duplicate through a random roll, re-roll it. If no possible roll would result in a Corruption you do not already have, pick one of your choice.

You need not be a complete slave to the dice, however. When directed to roll a Corruption, you may choose to determine the outcome of the die roll. Simply place the die down on the value you wish. However, you may only do this once! Once you have taken this option, you may never select it again.

1. You hear the thoughts of those around you as constant whispers. You gain a +1 bonus to Insight checks, but are Vulnerable 1 to Mental damage.
2. You hunger for knowledge, and will place yourself in danger to gain it. You gain a +1 bonus to any Lore check, but suffer slight on saving throws made to avoid any sort of danger.
