Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Draconic Heritage Sorcerer.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Draconic Heritage Sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor of any type interferes with a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer’s gestures, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail.
Spells: A Draconic Heritage Sorcerer casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).
To learn or cast a spell, a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Draconic Heritage Sorcerer’s Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Draconic Heritage Sorcerer. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.
A Draconic Heritage Sorcerer’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A Draconic Heritage Sorcerer begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of your choice. At each new Draconic Heritage Sorcerer level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Draconic Heritage Sorcerer Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Draconic Heritage Sorcerer Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer/wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the Draconic Heritage Sorcerer has gained some understanding of by study. The Draconic Heritage Sorcerer can’t use this method of spell acquisition to learn spells at a faster rate, however.
Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered Draconic Heritage Sorcerer level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the Draconic Heritage Sorcerer “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level Draconic Heritage Sorcerer spell the Draconic Heritage Sorcerercan cast. A Draconic Heritage Sorcerer may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.
Unlike a wizard or a cleric, a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.

Bonus Draconic Feats: At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level, a Draconic Heritage Sorcerer gains a bonus Draconic feat.

The Draconic Heritage Sorcerer must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus Draconic feat.
