Sorcerous Abilitiies

As mentioned in a previous post, I have been thinking about including sorcerers in my D&D game. The sorcerer gets magic as an innate ability because one of their ancestors was an elf. In Classic D&D there are no half-elves; a child born to a human and an elf parent appear as either an elf or a human with all the accompanying traits. So a human could have some elven blood, but show no outward signs of it. This hidden elven blood will manifest itself as sorcery from time to time.

Any human with elven ancestry may be a sorcerer is if 2d6 are rolled and the resulting sum is a 12. The character may be of any of the normal human classes, fighter, thief, or cleric. If the character is a Magic-User their sorcerous ability is suppressed and they may only use wizardly magic. The Magic of a sorcerer works exactly like that of an elf of equal level. In short, Sorcerers do not need to decide which spells to memorize each day. They have a limited number of spells which are known equal to the number and level of spells they can cast in a day +1 for each intelligence adjustment. An sorcerer may attempt to cast those extra spells known after exhausting their normal repertoire of spells. To do this the sorcerer must first make a saving throw vs spells, and if successful the sorcerer
successfully casts the spell, if not the spell fizzled out, or caused a bizarre and benign effect. In either case the casting of these extra spells costs the sorcerer a number of hp equal to a d6. If a sorcerer were to reach 0hp in this manner they would take the effect of a wound including the chance for death. Sorcerers also have access to the druid spell list. Sorcerers learn their spells by meditating in a natural environment for one week equal to the spell level, at the end of the meditation the spell learned is determined randomly.
