Lunar Sorcerer Subclass In DnD 5E – Players in Dungeons & Dragons have a wide range of options for individualising and enhancing their characters. While the class you choose for your character has the biggest and most fundamental influence on how that character is played, the subclass you choose can provide important features and usefulness, resulting in two characters of the exact same class having significantly different functionality.
The powerful Lunar Sorcery subclass for Sorcerers is now available to players thanks to the release of Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen. Although the three moons of the planet Krynn are a key component of the Dragonlance setting, the Lunar Sorcery subclass can be applied in any setting and can provide a Sorcerer with a distinctive lunar flavour. As a result, we’ll go over all you need know about using this incredibly flexible spellcasting subclass.

Lunar Embodiment – Lunar Sorcerer Subclass In DnD 5E
The capacity of Lunar Sorcerers to magically tap into various moon phases, using that phase to influence the majority of their other subclass qualities, is by far their most distinguishing trait. A Lunar Sorcerer has the option to call upon the Full Moon, New Moon, or Crescent Moon whenever they awake from a protracted nap. This phase gives access to a further constantly prepared spell that can be cast once every long rest without utilising a spell slot right away at level one.
This subclass’s level one sorcerers can cast Shield when attuned to the Full Moon, Ray of Sickness while attuned to the New Moon, and Color Spray while attuned to the Crescent Moon. At levels three, five, seven, and nine, these sorcerers can cast even more extra spells.

Characters who wield Lunar Sorcery are extremely versatile and are capable of completely revamping the utility of their build during a protracted period of rest because each Lunar Phase gives access to a different form of utility. Furthermore, when using this subclass, you literally have three different subclasses that you can switch between while you rest because these Lunar Phases profoundly affect the usability of your other subclass characteristics.
When you reach level six, the Waxing and Waning feature you received at that level allows you to expend one sorcery point as a bonus action to alter your Lunar Phase, thus changing your subclass. As a result, this feature becomes substantially more powerful.

Moon Fire
It should be noted that all Lunar Sorcerers have access to Sacred Flame, even though it is much less game-changing and formative than the Lunar Embodiment mechanic. Characters in this class are not typically able to cast this cantrip. The utility of this spell is increased when Lunar Sorcerers cast it, in addition to giving them access to this reliable damage option. It can target two creatures instead of just one when it is cast, provided that they are within five feet of one another. Moon Fire is a deceptively potent tool to have because very few cantrips are capable of dealing with hordes of opponents while simultaneously targeting more than one creature.

Lunar Boons
Lunar Boons, a modest but highly potent feature, lowers the amount of sorcery points required when employing Metamagic options that effect spells from particular schools. Your current Lunar Phase attunement with Lunar Embodiment determines which schools are subject to this sorcery point cost decrease. Spells cast during a full moon or a new moon are affected by abjuration and divination, whereas spells cast during a crescent moon are affected by transmutation and divination.
When attuned to the New Moon, this cost reduction can considerably help you save sorcery points compared to using the potent option of twinning high-damage evocation spells, which can swiftly deplete your sorcery points. While in some circumstances this cost reduction can be rather potent, it should be remembered that Lunar Sorcerers are only permitted to do so a certain amount of times per long rest equal to their proficiency bonus.

Lunar Empowerment
Lunar Empowerment, a function that delivers entirely different utility depending on the Lunar Phase you’re currently attuned to, becomes available to Lunar Sorcerers when they reach level 14. Those who are sensitive to the Full Moon have access to a fantastic out-of-combat bonus action that lets them throw light on a situation to offer themselves and their friends an advantage on Investigation and Perception tests, making it an excellent tool for investigating a specific locale.
In contrast, those tuned to the Cresent Moon gain resistance to Radiant and Necrotic damage, while those tuned to the New Moon get an advantage on Stealth checks and suffer a disadvantage when attacked in the dark. The Waxing and Waning feature, which enables you to modify your Lunar Phase as a bonus action, pairs exceptionally well with each of these traits because they are all so distinctive and unique from one another. This particular set of characteristics greatly contributes to establishing the adaptability of this subclass.
