Clockwork Sorcery

Subclass featureXPHBp. 1462024Sorcerer

Channel Cosmic Forces of Order

The cosmic force of order has suffused you with magic. That power arises from Mechanus or a realm like it—a plane of existence shaped entirely by clockwork efficiency. You or someone from your lineage might have become entangled in the machinations of modrons, the orderly beings who inhabit Mechanus. Perhaps your ancestor even took part in the Great Modron March. Whatever its origin within you, the power of order can seem strange to others, but for you, it's part of a vast and glorious system.

Clockwork Spells

When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Clockwork Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

In addition, consult the Manifestations of Order table and choose or randomly determine a way your connection to order manifests while you are casting any of your Sorcerer spells.

Manifestations of Order

1d6Manifestation
1Spectral cogwheels hover behind you.
2The hands of a clock spin in your eyes.
3Your skin glows with a brassy sheen.
4Floating equations and geometric objects overlay your body.
5Your Spellcasting Focus temporarily takes the form of a Tiny clockwork mechanism.
6The ticking of gears or ringing of a clock can be heard by you and those affected by your magic.

Restore Balance

Your connection to the plane of absolute order allows you to equalize chaotic moments. When a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself is about to roll a d20 with Advantage or Disadvantage, you can take a Reaction to prevent the roll from being affected by Advantage and Disadvantage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
