Oreni 13th Age

Oreni's concept has mutated over time, and some versions fit 13th Age better than others. Sorcerers are a bit different in 13th Age in ways that dovetail nicely with notions of fighting with energy attacks.

Class Features

• Access to Wizardry: You can take a wizard spell in place of a sorcerer spell two levels higher than it.
• Breath Weapon: When you cast a spell with the breath weapon keyword, you can re-use it later in the battle if you make a roll at the beginning of each turn (usually you need a 16+). You may have only one breath weapon active at a time.
• Chain: When you attack with a chain spell and get a natural even roll, you can roll another attack against a different enemy in range.
• Dancing Lights: You can cast the dancing lights spell as a standard action.
• Gather Power: You may spend a standard action gathering power, allowing you to cast a double-strength spell with your next standard action. When you do this, you also gain a random benefit (roll d6):

  • 3-4: Deal damage equal to CHA+Level to all nearby staggered enemies.
  • 5-6: Deal damage equal to CHA+Level to one nearby enemy.

Once per battle, you can include one enemy engaged with you as an additional target of an attack spell you cast that targets other enemies.
