Siren Soul (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Siren Soul[edit]
The power of ancient and secret underwater curses runs through your veins. You can be the descendant of ancient sirens and powerful mermaids, or maybe, you where exposed to a profane ritual that imbued your blood with this power. Your control over hexes could even be the unexpected effect of an cursed bloodline. Either way, you have the innate power to manipulate the fate, storm the sea, place maledictions and bring fortune or misfortune with your words, gestures or even just a glance.
Siren Quirks If you wish, you can pick from or roll on the siren Quirks table to create a quirk for your character.

List of Hexes[edit]
Minor Hexes[edit]
Hex of Enfeeblement. You lower the defenses of a creature. When you cast a damaging spell and it hits a target, you may spend 2 sorcery points to give −2 penalty to its AC until the end of your next turn.
Hex of Power. You bring cursed power to an ally. When you cast a spell on yourself or a willing creature, you may spend 2 sorcery points to target it with this hex. For 1 minute, when this creature makes a weapon or spell attack, it has a +2 bonus on all attack and damage rolls.
Hex of Luck. When you cast a spell on yourself or a willing creature, or damage an enemy with a spell or hit your target, you may spend 2 sorcery points to target it with this hex. For the day, when this creature rolls a 20 it is instead a 1, and when this creature rolls a 1 it is instead a 20.
Hex of the Banshee. This hex manifests as a deafening curse upon those it effects. The sounds of thousands of sirens fills the minds of those who are effected by this curse, making the target unable to concentrate. When you cast a damaging spell or an adverse effect and it hits a target, you may spend 2 sorcery points to silence the enemy until it’s next turn. Enemies under this hex cannot concentrate on spells and cannot make sound.
Hex of Weakness. This hex causes the target to lose strength. When you target a creature with spell, you can spend 4 sorcery points to affect it with this hex. The creature must make a Constitution Saving throw. On a failure, the creature has disadvantage on attack roll, ability check, and saving throw using Strength. This Hex lasts for 1 minute.
Hex of Confusion. This hex confuses the mind of a creature. When you target a creature with spell that requires a saving throw to avoid its effects, you spend 2 sorcery points to force the creature to make a Wisdom Saving throw. On a failure, on the beginning of the creatures turn, you throw a d6. On a odd number, the creature will target another creature within its range to attack. If there's none, it will hit itself with its next attack. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
Major Hexes[edit]
Echoed Hex. When you cast a cantrip that targets one creature, you can spend 2 sorcery points to force the target to make a Charisma Saving throw. On a failure, it receives the effects of the cantrip again, if there is a de-buff its effect is doubled.
Hex of the Depths. This hex traps those who attack you in a watery doom. When a creature attempts to attack you with a spell or attack you can spend 3 sorcery points and a reaction to force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw.
On a failure, you trap your enemies’s head in a ball of water causing them to drop their weapon or choke on water with their spell, the spell fizzles and the attack misses. On a success, the attack goes off as planned and the ball dissipates. At the end of its turns the enemy who failed can make another Constitution saving throw. On four failures, the target drowns in the water ball. On three saves, the target breaks free from the hex. A target who can breathe water immediately gets one save but can still fail subsequent saves. Other than that a creature with a water ball around their head can still make attacks but cannot cast spells.
