Modron Bloodline (5e Subclass)
Modron Bloodline[edit]
Your innate magic comes from the lawful plane of Mechanus. Given that modrons are constructs, bloodlines almost invariably awaken when pacts are created between high-ranking modrons and denizens of the Prime Material Plane.
There is a surge in the population of sorcerers with such a bloodline every 289 years, when the great gears of Mechanus complete 17 cycles and the Great Modron March commences.
Note: See here for my homebrew of the Sorcerer class which goes with this sorcerous origin.
