Spellcasting

Your magic is born out of your connection to the elements of a storm. As a Storm lord you have made some insights into the concepts of the very nature of the worlds elements and you can bend them to your will.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. You learn additional Storm lord cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Storm lord table.

Spell Slots

The Storm lord table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these Storm lord 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 or Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Storm lord spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Storm lord table shows when you learn more Storm lord spells of your choice. 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 Storm lord spells you know and replace it with another spell from the storm lord spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Storm lord spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to bend the elements to your needs. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition. you use your Wisdom 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 Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook) as a spellcasting focus for your Storm lord spells.

Wild magic surge

Your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, the DM can have you roll a d20. If you roll a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table (found in chapter 3 of the Player's Handbook) to create a random magical effect. If the effect is a spell, it’s too wild to be affected by Metamagic. If it normally requires concentration, it doesn't require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration.

Storm forged

As a Storm lord your body has been bathed and strengthened by the storms. Starting at 1st level, while you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Wisdom modifier. You also gain resistance to lightning damage.

Storm guide

At the second level, you gain the ability to subtly control the weather around you. If it is raining, you can use an action to cause the rain to stop falling in a 20-foot radius centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action. If it is windy, you can use a bonus action each round to choose the direction that the wind blows in a 100-foot radius around you. The wind blows in that direction until the end of your next turn. You have no ability to alter the speed of the wind.

Storm lords smite

Starting from 2nd level, you can smite attackers with your control over the storm. When a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction and to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 2d4 thunder, cold, force, or piercing damage on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. This damage increases as you reach higher levels: increases to 3d4 at 5th level, 4d4 at 9th level, 5d4 at 13th level, and 5d6 at 17th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain expended uses of this feature when you complete a long rest.

World concept

At the 3rd level, you chose an concept. Choose between Wind concept movement, Ice concept slow, Water concept force, Thunder concept destruction. All detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd, and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Fog shroud

At the 5th level you have gained control of the clouds in the sky and can command them with your mind. You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of fog centered on a point within range. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration 1 minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.

At Higher Levels. When you use this ability after the 5th level or higher, the radius of the fog increases by 20 feet for each level above 5th.

You can use this feature as many times as your Wisdom modifier.

Whirlwind defence

At 9th level, Whenever a creature you can see targets you with a melee attack, as a reaction, you can create a small tempest whirlwind in a 10-foot radius around you, protecting you from harm. The creature must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, the target takes is pushed 10 feet back and knocked prone, and the attack misses.

Flexible casting

At the 11th level, your familiarity with storms has grown. At a long rest you can change your known spells with other spells from your Storm lord spell list. Learning a new spell you haven't used before will take a number of minutes equal to the spell's level x 10. You can only change as many spells equal to your wisdom modifier.

Piercing Storm

At 13th level, your attacks ignore resistance to cold and thunder damage.

If on your action turn you do not move, you will be able to create energy from where you are standing. Your attacks can pass through your enemy and hit an enemy that is behind up to 15 feet dealing damage without your modifier on the second target.

Heart of the storm

• 1.Take 6d6 lightning damage
• 2.Take 6d6 cold damage
• 3.Take 6d6 force damage
• 4.Take 6d6 piercing damage

Wind concept Movement

You have contemplated and meditated on the meaning of wind. Wind isn’t just a gentle breeze blowing leaves it can also be a devastating force used against enemies. You have understood the worlds will, the wind represents movement. From blowing of the leaves of trees to end the season to a tornado relocating a town miles away. You can redirect the wind but you will never stop it!

Wind god

Ice concept slow

You have contemplated and meditated on the meaning of Ice. Ice can be cold but it is much more than that. You have seen how ice stops the raging rivers and you’ve seen it defy the laws of time. The world has shown you the concept of slow. Ice isn’t eternal but it will halt the very laws infront nature!

Domain of the frost titan

At the 3rd level, Your concept of ice has grown strong enough to use a element domain. You release cold energy altering time around up to six creatures of your choice in a 20 foot cube within range. Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by this spell for the duration.

An affected target's speed is halved, it takes a −2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.

If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher, the spell doesn't take effect until the creature's next turn, and the creature must use its action on that turn to complete the spell. If it can't, the spell is wasted.

A creature affected by this spell makes another Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the effect ends for it.

Domain of eternal ice

At the 14th level, You have completely mastered the element of ice! Your domain now covers twice the area and does 1d8 each turn a creature is in the domain until a successful save roll.
