Sorcerous Origin You learn the native language of your homeland, and
gain proficiency with a tool of your choice associated with
Imperial Birthright
There is power in king’s blood. Your innate magic comes
from your royal ancestry. Whether you are a far flung
cousin of a great house, the child of a deposed prince, a
secret bastard denied legitimacy, or the rightful heir to
a kingdom, your bloodline is that of kings and emperors.
You might be unaware of your lineage and of the source of
your power, or perhaps you have always known yourself
to be the true inheritor of a throne now held by usurpers.
The appearance of one with this birthright often presents
a political opportunity, either by the sorcerer themselves
or by others seeking to exploit their claim to power. Many
who possess it opt to keep their ancestry hidden for fear of
assassination or worse.
Commanding Voice
Your bloodline has granted you a voice fit for a ruler, one
that makes your enemies tremble and puts fire into the
hearts of your allies. At 1st level, you gain proficiency in
your choice of Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.
Additionally you learn the command spell, which counts
as a sorcerer spell for you, and does not count against
your number of spells known. When you cast the spell, you
can speak up to three words as the command, instead of
only one.
Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that has
verbal components, you can grant temporary hitpoints
equal to your Charisma modifier to a friendly creature
within 30 feet of you, which last for 1 minute.
Ancestral Homeland
At 1st level, your bloodline has imprinted on you many
aspects of your lineage's homeland. You or your DM
selects the nature and location of your ancestral
homeland, typically a kingdom or the capital region of an
empire.

its culture. You have advantage on Intelligence checks to
recall information about your homeland, its history, and its
culture.
Majestic Presence
At 6th level, you gain an aura of majesty that steels the
hearts and minds of those who follow you. When you or a
friendly creature within 30 feet of you makes a Charisma
or Wisdom saving throw, you can use your reaction to
grant them advantage on the saving throw. You can choose
to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but
before the DM determines whether the saving throw
succeeds or fails.
Indomitable Decree
Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell with verbal
components, you can spend 1 sorcery point to imbue your
voice with magic. You can cast the spell regardless of any
obstruction to your ability to speak or magical prevention,
such as silence. If the spell involves speaking to a creature,
the target can hear and understand you even if it doesn't
share your language or is deafened.
Bend the Knee
Beginning at 14th level, when a creature fails a saving
throw imposed by one of your spells, they become
frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
Ancestral Title
At 18th level, you adopt a title befit a legendary monarch,
and gain permanent benefits associated with that title.
Choose one of the following benefits:
The Conqueror. You can add twice your Charisma
modifier to one damage roll of any spell you cast.
The Great. Increase one ability score of your choice by
2. Your maximum for that score is now 24.
The Holy. You learn the beacon of hope and revivify
spells, which count as sorcerer spells for you, and you can
cast them at will, without expending a spell slot.
The Kind. You learn the sanctuary spell, which counts
as a sorcerer spell for you, and you can cast it at will,
without expending a spell slot. Your Commanding Voice
feature grants temporary hitpoints to all friendly creatures
within 30 feet of you, instead of just one.
The Terrible. You are immune to being frightened
and charmed. Creatures that are frightened of you have
disadvantage on saving throws against your spells.
The Wise. Choose four of your skill proficiencies. You
gain expertise with them, which means your proficiency
bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with them.
