Benefits

Scions of innately magical bloodlines, the chosen of deities, the spawn of monsters, pawns of fate and destiny, or simply flukes of fickle magic, sorcerers look within themselves for arcane prowess and draw forth might few mortals can imagine. Emboldened by lives ever threatening to be consumed by their innate powers, these magic-touched souls endlessly indulge in and refine their mysterious abilities, gradually learning how to harness their birthright and coax forth ever greater arcane feats. Just as varied as these innately powerful spellcasters' abilities and inspirations are the ways in which they choose to utilize their gifts. While some seek to control their abilities through meditation and discipline, becoming masters of their fantastic birthright, others give in to their magic, letting it rule their lives with often explosive results. Regardless, sorcerers live and breathe that which other spellcasters devote their lives to mastering, and for them magic is more than a boon or a field of study; it is life itself.   Role: Sorcerers excel at casting a selection of favored spells frequently, making them powerful battle mages. As they become familiar with a specific and ever-widening set of spells, sorcerers often discover new and versatile ways of making use of magics other spellcasters might overlook. Their bloodlines also grant them additional abilities, assuring that no two sorcerers are ever quite alike.   Alignment: Any. Hit Die: d6. Starting Wealth: 2d6 x 10 gp (average 70 gp).  

Class Skills

  The Sorcerer's class skills are: Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and Use Magic Device (Cha).   Skill Points at each Level: 2 + Int modifier.  

Class Features

    Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor interferes with a sorcerer's gestures, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail (see Arcane Spells and Armor).  

Spells Known

  Bloodline: Each sorcerer has a source of magic somewhere in her heritage that grants her spells, bonus feats, an additional class skill, and other special abilities. This source can represent a blood relation or an extreme event involving a creature somewhere in the family's past. For example, a sorcerer might have a dragon as a distant relative or her grandfather might have signed a terrible contract with a devil. Regardless of the source, this influence manifests in a number of ways as the sorcerer gains levels. A sorcerer must pick one bloodline upon taking her first level of sorcerer. Once made, this choice cannot be changed.   At 3rd level, and every two levels thereafter, a sorcerer learns an additional spell, derived from her bloodline. These spells are in addition to the number of spells given on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known. These spells cannot be exchanged for different spells at higher levels.   At 7th level, and every six levels thereafter, a sorcerer receives one bonus feat, chosen from a list specific to each bloodline. The sorcerer must meet the prerequisites for these bonus feats.   Cantrips: Sorcerers learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known under “Spells Known.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.   Eschew Materials: A sorcerer gains Eschew Materials as a bonus feat at 1st level.

Benefits

Class Skill: Disguise   Bonus Spells: Silent Image (3rd), Invisibility (5th), Major Image (7th), Charm Monster (9th), Magic Jar (11th), Mislead (13th), Project image (15th), Mass Charm Monster (17th), Wish (19th).   Bonus Feats: Alertness, Craft Wondrous Item, Dodge, Lightning Reflexes, Improved Initiative, Skill Focus (Disguise)   Bloodline Arcana: Whenever you cast an enchantment or illusion spell, creatures targeted by or that interact with your spell suffer a –2 penalty on their saving throw if you have won them over with Diplomacy or fooled them with Bluff in the past 24 hours.   Bloodline Powers: You manifest mystical powers that allow you to befuddle and outwit your enemies with magic.  

• Foxfire (Sp): At 1st level, as a standard action, you can create up to four eerie spheres of light that function as dancing lights. While in possession of one or more of these spheres, you can attack one target within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack by directing a sphere at it. This sphere deals 1d6 points of fire damage. Whether or not the sphere hits, it disappears as if its duration ended. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.  
• Shift Form (Su): At 3rd level, you gain the ability to change shape (as the spell alter self) for a number of minutes per day equal to your sorcerer level. These minutes need not be consecutive. At 7th level, you can also change shape into any animal allowed by beast shape I. At 11th level, you can also change shape into any animal allowed by beast shape II. At 15th level, you can also change shape into any animal allowed by beast shape III. At 19th level, you can also change shape into any natural, inanimate object (such as a rock or a tree) as the spell statue except this ability is a polymorph effect and grants you a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks to appear as an ordinary object.  
• Potent Illusions (Su): At 9th level, any illusion spell that you cast with a duration of concentration lasts an additional number of rounds equal to half your sorcerer level. Additionally, when casting an illusion spell you can expend two spell slots of the spell’s level (including level adjustments from metamagic) as a free action in order to imbed an illusion within your illusion. Effectively, if a creature disbelieves the illusion, it sees a second, identical illusion in its place, which it must attempt to disbelieve separately. You cannot imbed more than two illusions into a spell using this ability or any similar one.  
• Formless Casting (Su): At 15th level, you can complete the verbal and somatic components of spells while polymorphed into any creature allowed by greater polymorph or while possessing a living creature with magic jar by substituting various noises and gestures for the normal verbal and somatic components of a spell. You can also use any material components or focuses you possess, even if such items are melded within your current form. At 20th level, you gain this benefit while under any polymorph effect, even if the form you take cannot normally make any noise or gestures.  
• Master Manipulator (Su): At 20th level, you no longer need to make concentration checks to cast enchantment spells and can concentrate on illusion spells as a swift action, rather than a standard action. Additionally, you can expend a spell slot as a free action in order to regain a number of minutes of your shift form ability equal to the spell’s level. This ability does not allow you to exceed the ability’s maximum minutes per day–any excess minutes are lost.

Benefits

Nine-Tailed Spells

A nine-tailed mystic grows additional tails as his powers blossom, allowing him to unlock his inherent powers at the cost of spell lore. Each time the nine-tailed mystic would earn a bonus spell from her bloodline or mystery, she gains Magical Tail as a bonus feat instead. After she has selected Magical Tail eight times, she instead chooses one of her Magical Tail spell-like abilities and increases the number of times per day that she can cast it by one. She cannot select a spell-like ability more than once in this way.   For an oracle, this ability replaces the oracle’s mystery spells.   For a sorcerer, this ability replaces the sorcerer’s bloodline spells.
