Your bloodline carries the lingering stain of ancient serpent races that ruled when the world was young. The treacherous and yet hypnotic serpent's blood that flows through you taints your magic with a sinuous and seductive grace.

Heritage Abilities:

Level 3:
  • Eyes of the Serpent: You gain Darkvision up to a range of 3m. If you already have Darkvision, its range increases by the same amount. You can use Hypnotic Gaze as a bonus action or reaction interrupt on being attacked.
Hypnotic Gaze (Bonus Action/Reaction, 1 Sorcery Point)
Immobilize a creature until the end of your next turn. Its peripheral vision is reduced and it has to look at you. You can maintain your Hypnotic Gaze each turn to extend its duration.
Is removed on damaging the target. Starting at Sorcerer level 11, requires a successful Wisdom save to be removed as well.
Can be used for free once per Short Rest, and for 1 Sorcery Point afterwards.
  • Obfuscation: Your magic conceals your presence. You can add your Charisma Modifier to Stealth checks, and hide using a bonus action (this gives you both a BA Hide ability, and a toggled passive that changes the basic Hide cost). You also learn Cloak of Shadows cantrip and new spells at Sorcerer levels 3 (Disguise Self and Invisibility), 5 (Nondetection), 7 (Greater Invisibility) and 9 (Veil the Gathering).
Veil the Gathering (Action, Abjuration)
Call forth a veil of shadow and silence that gives you and nearby allies a +10 bonus to Stealth checks until Long Rest.
(Pass without Trace, but level 5 and no concentration)
  • Venomous: You learn Serpent Fang and Envenom abilities. Spells you cast and attacks you make ignore Resistance to Poison damage. At Sorcerer level 6, the venom from Serpent Fang and Envenom bypasses poison immunity of most organic creatures, and you can ignore Immunity to Poison damage of those affected by it. You also learn Lesser Restoration (at Sorcerer level 3) and Greater Restoration (at Sorcerer level 9).
Serpent Fang (Action, 1 Sorcery Point)
Bite a target, injecting it with stage III Serpent Venom for 3 turns. If a target is already affected, it doesn't get to save, and the venom's potency increases by 3 stages.
Can be used for free once per Short Rest, and for 1 Sorcery Point afterwards.
Serpent Venom
Has Disadvantage on Attack Rolls and Ability Checks. Takes 1d6 - 1d12 (dice scales up at levels 5, 10, 16) Poison damage at the end of its turn and suffers additional effects based on the venom's current potency.

II: Can't take reactions.
III: Movement speed is halved, has Disadvantage on Dexterity Saving Throws.
IV: Has Disadvantage on Strength Saving Throws.
V: Can only take either an action or a bonus action. If the venom is applied again while the creature is at this stage, it takes extra tick damage.

Can only be cured by Greater Restoration, or a successful Constitution Saving Throw at the end of the victim's turn.
Envenom (Bonus Action, 1 Sorcery Point)
Imbue your main hand weapon with magical venom. It retains potency for a number of attacks equal to half of your Sorcerer level, or dries up after 2 minutes.
Targets must succeed a Constitution Saving Throw or become afflicted with it for 3 turns. If a target is already affected, it doesn't get to save, and the venom's potency increases by a stage.
  • Ophidian Heart: Your hit point maximum increases by 2 for each Sorcerer level. You become Resistant to Poison damage, and gain Advantage on saves against being Poisoned. At Sorcerer level 11, you become Immune to Poison damage and Poisoned condition. At Sorcerer level 13, you add Regenerate (self cast only version) to your known spells list.
  • Whispered Glimpses: Your heritage blesses you with uncanny insight into others’ presence and motives. You can add your Charisma Modifier to Insight and Perception checks, and add half of that value (rounded up) to Initiative. At Sorcerer level 6, you can no longer be Surprised. At Sorcerer level 17, you add Foresight (self cast only version) to your known spells list.
Level 7:
  • Sorcerer's Extra Attack: Spend 3 Sorcery Points to gain the feature until your next Long Rest. While under the effect, you can make an additional free attack after making an unarmed or weapon attack, or casting a leveled spell. If you gain the Extra Attack feature from more than one class, they don't add together. At Sorcerer level 13, this activates on cantrip use as well.
  • Serpent's Reflexes: You gain the benefits of Evasion. Missing an attack against you makes the attacker eligible for your Scheming until the end of your turn. At Sorcerer level 11, you gain an additional reaction.
  • Slippery Mind: You gain Proficiency in Intelligence and Wisdom saves. You have Advantage on Saving Throws to maintain Concentration, and against being Charmed. At Sorcerer level 15, you add Mind Blank (self cast only version) to your known spells list.
Level 11:
  • Forked Tongue: You can target 2 creatures with Enchantment spells that would normally only target 1 creature. (Stacks with Twinned metamagic)
  • Heart of Deceit: If you reach 0 HP, instead of becoming Downed you regain 1 HP, get THP equal to your Sorcerer level, and become Invisible for 2 turns. While Invisible, you are Resistant to all damage but Fire and Radiant. Only works once per Long Rest.
