Multiclass Sorcerer characters
The sorcerer archetype is a method for anyone to pick up commonly useful spells, such as invisibility and haste.
Sorcerer Dedication
Level 2
Archetype Dedication MulticlassPrerequisites: Charisma 14
Choose a bloodline. You become trained in the bloodline’s two skills; for each of these skills in which you were already trained, you become trained in a skill of your choice.
You cast spells like a sorcerer. You gain access to the Cast a Spell activity. You gain a spell repertoire with two common cantrips from the spell list associated with your bloodline, or any other cantrips you learn or discover. You’re trained in spell attack rolls and spell DCs for your tradition’s spells. Your key spellcasting ability for sorcerer archetype spells is Charisma, and they are sorcerer spells of your bloodline’s tradition. You don’t gain any other abilities from your choice of bloodline.
Special You cannot select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the sorcerer archetype.
