# Blood of the Forebears

A woman with radiant beauty stands tall, a woman of  
strength and grace, her vibrant garments a reflection  
of her powerful spirit. With a fierce determination,  
she summons a blade of such ethereal beauty, it  
could rival the stars that adorn the heavens. Her  
blood sings with the echoes of her ancestors, lending  
her their strength and wisdom as she calls upon  
their ancient powers.  
Whispers on the wind speak of legends from times  
long forgotten, of heroics and valor passed down  
through the generations. As she calls forth her might,  
darkness trembles at the sight of her, for she is a force  
to be reckoned with.  
For her, power is not just a matter of brute force,  
but a legacy inherited from those who came before.  
The blood of her ancestors runs through her veins,  
and with every breath she takes, she honors their  
memory. The tribes of the steppes believe that the  
spirits of their forebears guide and protect them, and  
for her, this is more than just a myth. It is a truth that  
is manifest in all she does.  
Level 1: Power of the Forebears: You were born with the power that resides in your blood, and it has been  
invoked. Work with your GM to determine the properties of your ancestor. A number of times equal to your  
proficiency bonus, you can summon your inner power, and your ancestor speaks to you in your mind and aids  
you for 1 minute. During this process you have advantage on any checks or saving throws related to Strength  
and Constitution.  
In addition, you learn an additional evocation cantrip from the sorcerer’s spell list. It doesn’t count against the  
cantrips you know.

Metamagic Options  
Memorized Spell  
When you lose concentration on a sorcerer spell, you  
can use your reaction to spend 3 sorcery points to  
maintain your concentration.  
Mythic Spell  
When you cast a sorcerer spell, you can spend 3 sorcery  
points to make it a mythic spell. For the next 8 hours,  
you can cast that spell again once without expending a  
spell slot. The spell can’t be higher than 5th level.  
Level 6: Heroic Blood: By the 6th level, your heroic  
ancestors gained more power over the course of time  
and experience. You can spend 2 sorcery points as a  
bonus action to make a melee spell attack against a  
creature within 5 ft. of you. On a hit, you deal psychic  
damage equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier. Your  
ancestor’s blade from the myths takes shape as a  
spectral blade and vanishes after your action.  
The damage increases to 4d8 + your Charisma  
modifier at 11th level and 6d8 + your Charisma  
modifier at 16th level.  
Level 14: Stories of the Past: In 14th level, you  
remember everything your ancestor remembers. If  
you invoke your Power of the Forebears or Heroic  
Blood feature, you can spend 1 sorcery point to treat  
any 9 or lower rolls on a d20 as a 10 for the next  
minute. You can’t use this feature again until you  
finish a long rest.  
Level 18: Legends Untold: At 18th level, you can  
allow your ancestor to take control over your body  
and your mind. It is hard to surrender fully at first, but  
once you are used to it, you begin to understand the  
power now at your disposal.  
During that time you can strike three times as a  
melee spell attack on your turns. You deal 1d8 + your  
Charisma modifier in psychic damage with each  
attack. In addition, you add your Charisma modifier  
to your Armor Class. You can’t use this feature again  
until you finish a long rest. This feature can be  
combined with Stories of the Past.
