The domain sorcerer is tied to some source of power; this can be a patron like a powerful outsider or spirit, it can be an element, or it can just be a natural phenomenon. The source of the domain sorcerer's powers need not even be sentient. Rather, the sorcerer has managed to contact the source of power and received a gift that cannot easily be taken back. Unlike a divine spellcaster, a domain sorcerer's patron has no direct say over the sorcerer’s power, and cannot automatically communicate with the sorcerer.

The domain sorcerer is tied to some source of power; this can be a patron like a powerful outsider or spirit, it can be an element, or it can just be a natural phenomenon. The source of the domain sorcerer's powers need not even be sentient. Rather, the sorcerer has managed to contact the source of power and received a gift that cannot easily be taken back. Unlike a divine spellcaster, a domain sorcerer's patron has no direct say over the sorcerer’s power, and cannot automatically communicate with the sorcerer.

Sentient patrons, while powerful, are not on the same level of power as deities. Common patrons include the more powerful denizens of the outer planes, but other mighty creatures, such as dragons, are known to be able to awaken a domain sorcerer's latent powers. A potential patron will try to judge the personality of those who want their power and only sponsor those who seem worthy in their eyes, but once they have done this, they cannot withdraw their power. Nor do they have any surefire way to check on the actions of their acolyte. Therefore it is much more common for chaotic creatures to become patrons of chaotic sorcerers; potential patrons of lawful alignment thread carefully indeed and might place a Geas on the applicant.

Domain

As a domain sorcerer, you choose two domains, automatically learning all domain spells as soon as they can cast them. You also get the granted power of each domain. Domain spells are considered arcane spells when used by a sorcerer. Any divine focus requirement is ignored. Domain powers in italics have been changed from the original. Some domains are the same as those of clerics; others are arcane domains from Unearthed Arcana; the later all have new domain powers.

A domain sorcerer that takes a prestige class that grants new spellcasting levels continues to gain new domain spells as he advances, just like a cleric does.
