Fiendish Blade Sorcerer (5e Subclass)
Fiendish Blade
Your innate magic comes from The Nine Hells and the simultaneously chaotic, and controlled lands Fiends live in. There are many reasons as to which you have infernal heritage, the most common of which is an unholy breeding of a humanoid and a fiend.
As one touched one born of a fiend, people can sense your heritage either through sight, or through their innate sixth sense. People tend to avoid you, and you might avoid them in kind.
As one would expect, most Fiendish Blade sorcerers are born as tieflings. However, given how far reaching the touch of the nine hells are it is possible, albeit rare for a Fiendish Blade sorcerer to appear that isn't a tiefling.
Note: See here for my homebrew of the Sorcerer class which goes with this sorcerous origin.
