Domain Sorcerer (D&D Sorcerer variant)

This article is imported from the Hastur wiki. See the import log for details.

Unofficial rules compendium

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. Unlike a divine spellcaster, a domain sorcerer's patron has no direct say over the sorcerer’s power, and they cannot communicate directly. In fact, 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. Sentient patrons try to judge the personalities of those who want their power and only sponsor those who seem worthy in their eyes, but once they have done this, they cannot easily withdraw their power.

Domain

All sorcerers get one domain, automatically learning all domain spells as soon as they can cast them. You also get the granted power of the domain. Domain spells are considered arcane spells when used by a sorcerer. Any divine focus requirement can be ignored with Eschew Materials. 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.
