Stoneheart
Your blood comes from a steadfast lineage, touched by the elemental forces of the earth itself. Be it the blood of ancient dwarves first formed from stone or from a dao lineage from another plane, your blood runs thicker and your heart beats more steady than others. While particularly common among the genasi and the dwarves, these sorcerers can appear in any bloodline with ancient roots.
Blessed with natural resilience and command over the stones on which they stand, most of these sorcerers are solid and deliberate in both action and thought, slow to act, but once set on a course they become stubborn and immovable from their chosen path.
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Stoneheart Origin Spells table. For each level of spells, you can select one of the two spells to learn. You learn the selected spell and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known.
At 1st level when you select this origin, you learn the Stone Forming cantrip, and gain proficiency with weapons created by it. Any weapon you create with Stone Forming gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to any bonus you have to the spell attack and damage rolls from magic items. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
At 1st level when you select this origin, you gain the ability to use your magical power to draw fortitude from the earth beneath your feet. As a bonus action, you can bolster your strength, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute, ending early if you become incapacitated or you end it as a bonus action.
Starting at 6th level, when you activate Strength of Stone, you can confer the benefits of the stone aegis to another creature of your choice within 30 feet, reducing bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage taken by that creature equal to your proficiency bonus. When a creature under the effect of your protection takes damage (of any damage type), as a reaction you can expend one or more sorcery points to reduce the damage taken 1d8 per sorcery points spent. When you absorb damage in this way, the next time you hit an melee attack before the end of your next turn, you can add 1d8 per sorcery points to the damage roll.
Starting at 6th level, while empowered by your Strength of Stone, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action. Additionally, when you cast a spell using your action, you can expend 1 sorcery point to make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action.
Starting at 14th level, you gain a burrowing speed of 15 feet, allowing you to travel through the earth. You can pass through soil and stone, but when you pass through stone you leave no hole behind you, becoming one with it and passing through. If you would end your turn inside of stone, you get pushed to where you entered the stone surface.
At 18th level, while you are empowered by Strength of Stone, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
