Sorcerous Origins, for non-Sorcerers (5e Variant Rule)
The Origins of Sorcery[edit]
explanation.
Features Worth Consideration[edit]
Font of Magic: While it is true that some of the class Archetypes presented below actually grant this feature, some do not. Serving as an appearingly unlimited 'Font' of magical energy is certainly one of the perks to being a Sorcerer. That said, it should not be given out to people on too casual a basis.
A Character which does not possess the Font of Magic feature, which nevertheless possess one or more abilities which require the expenditure of spell points in order to activate them, may use each of those abilities up to once per short rest, without the need of spell points.
