Karmic Soul (5e Subclass)
Karmic Soul
The Karmic Soul is a Sorcerous origin designed around the presence of karma in the universe (This may also be known as the Rule of Three, The Three-fold Law, or The Law of Return). Your innate magic was gifted to you in return for the lot you were given in life. A tiefling in a holy religious center. A half-elf in a city of humans and elves. A foreigner, an immigrant, a queer person. You and your creed have been continuously given the shortest stick. Through discrimination and hate, the universe has finally given someone the power to bring equality. This is you. Karmic Soul Sorcerers are given powers and ability to deal with individual threats more effectively.
