:'''Living Cataclysm''' It's the Storm Sorcerer's "Storm's Fury" ability from the same level with fire damage added as an option. I am really hoping the fire damage isn't too much of an issue considering it is the most or 2nd most resisted (can't remember, there's a gitp thread for it) damage type when you look at things in the 5eMM.
:'''Terraforming''' So this feature is either going to be stripped down or removed entirely and converted into homemade spells. I love the concept of just making structures from the earth itself, but making a 6th level spell might be a better option as it can allow for an instantaneous duration to create permanent structures with. If it becomes a spell, I would feel more comfortable with them gaining the spell for free OR being able to cast it by expending sorcery points. The burrowspeed + tremorsense was a haphazard attempt at creating a movement option (tremorsense was so you can see where you are digging to). However BOTH abilities can easily be turned into spells.
:'''Pyroclastic Flow'''With the above change/removal of Terraforming, the first portion of this feature can be move to be a supplementary 14th level ability. TBH the 18th level feature of the dragon sorcerer was underwhelming for me and wan't something I felt was worth following. The push/knock down function was originally planned as a homebrew metamagic, but seemed really potent to just let anybody have. So i made it a function of the 18th level ability for the volcano mage that is the Pyroclastic bloodline. I cannot stand the fact that the Storm Sorcerer not only hands out immunity to a damage type, but it does so twice... I really do not like that sort of thing, but it keeps happening with wizards printed material. Anyhoo, I really liked the idea of sharing stuff with allies and was hoping that if I made a resistance feature 8 to 12 levels after the dragon sorcerer get theirs as a rider, I could do a little be extra with it. Which is where I'm at now with a choice of 3 4 types that can be shared for an hour.
:Anyway, that's the kinda-sorta to-do list for this class. I hope that eases some of your apprehension with this subtype on the whole and provides a little bit of insight behind the various parts and pieces that make it up.--[[User:Gr7mm Bobb|Gr7mm Bobb]] ([[User talk:Gr7mm Bobb|talk]]) 09:51, 30 December 2017 (MST)
