Broken Spells
3rd-level Order of Sorcery feature
You have learned to conjure minor magical effects, known as
Broken Spells to augment your combat abilities:
Broken Spells. At 3rd level, you learn two Broken Spells
of your choice from the list at the end of this Occult Order.
Once you use a Broken Spell you know, you must finish a
short or long rest before you can use that Broken Spell again.
When you have no uses of a Broken Spell remaining, you can
make a Vital Sacrifice to use that Broken Spell again.
You learn an additional Broken Spell of your choice when
you reach 7th, 13th, and 18th level. Moreover, whenever you
learn a new Broken Spell, you can replace one Broken Spell
you know with another Broken Spell of your choice.
Somatic Components. When casting a Broken Spell, you
must have one hand free to perform the somatic components
of that Broken Spell. Broken Spells used by this Occult Order
require no other verbal or material components.
Saving Throws. If a Broken Spell requires a creature to
make a saving throw, the DC is calculated as follows:
Broken Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus
+ your Intelligence modifier
Scholar of Sorcery
3rd-level Order of Sorcery feature
You have spent much time studying the basics of magic and
its applications in combat. You gain proficiency in Arcana,
and whenever you make an Intelligence (Arcana) check that
relates to a spell of 3rd-level or lower (or an effect of similar
scope), you treat a roll of 7 or lower on the d20 as an 8.
Arcane Warrior
7th-level Order of Sorcery feature
You have gained great skill in using your Broken Spells in
combat. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you
can cast one of your Broken Spells in place of one attack.
13th-level Order of Sorcery feature
Your willpower enhances the potency of your Broken Spells.
Whenever you use a Broken Spell, you add your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of +1) to the damage roll.
Signature Sorcery
18th-level Order of Sorcery feature
Your magicks have become second nature to you. Choose a
Broken Spell you know to be your Signature Sorcery. You can
cast it a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum of once), before you must make a Vital Sacrifice.
You regain all expended uses of your Signature Sorcery
when you finish a short or long rest.
Broken Spells
Below is the list of Broken Spells available to Blood Hunters
of the Order of Sorcery, presented in alphabetical order:
Flame
As an action, you can force creatures in an adjacent 15-foot
cone to make a Dexterity saving throw. Creatures take fire
damage equal to three rolls of your Rite Die on a failed save,
and half as much on a success. This Broken Spell also ignites
any flammable objects within the 15-foot cone.
Spirit
As an action, you can touch an unoccupied 5-foot space and
mark it with this Broken Spell. The first creature to move into
that space must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or take
force damage equal to one roll of your Rite Die and have its
speed reduced to 0 until the end of your next turn.
This Broken Spell's mark can be detected if a creature
makes a successful Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom
(Perception) check against your Broken Spell save DC.
You can have a total number of marks active at one time
equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Creating
another mark causes the earliest mark to instantly dispel.
Stone
As an action, you can shield yourself with a magical Ward
which has a number of hit points equal to your Blood Hunter
level + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Whenever
you would take damage, the Ward takes that damage instead.
This Ward lasts for 1 minute or until it is reduced to 0 hit
points (at which point you take the remaining damage).
Water
As an action, you can force one creature you can see within
10 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save it is
charmed by you for 1 minute, or until you deal damage to it.
On a successful save, the creature takes psychic damage
equal to one roll of your Rite Die.
Wind
As an action, you can force one creature you can see within
10 feet to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it
takes thunder damage equal to one roll of your Rite Die and
is knocked back 10 feet. If the target is Medium or smaller it
is knocked prone. Large or larger creatures have advantage
on their Strength saving throw to resist this Broken Spell.
