Sorcerous Origins
At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the Sorcerous Origin feature.
The following Planar Magic option is available to a sorcerer,
in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook.
Planar Magic
A sorcerer's power can occasionally come directly from one of
the planes themselves, a bond usually forged as a freak
accident during planar travel or exposure to a portal. These
sorcerers can bend the fabric of space itself, allowing them to
subvert the natural physics of the worlds they pass through.
Such sorcerers generally have a strong affinity to one plane in
particular, for that plane is usually the root of their abilities.
You can choose a plane for yourself with the help of your
DM, or you can roll on the table below to decide.

Your patron is an everwatchful beholder, filled with malice and
an often insane drive towards dominating all those it
considers below it, which is everyone, especially other
beholders. While it might share its power with you in an
attempt to further its own goals, it despises you and mistrusts
you as much as you it. Prominent beholders include Xanathar,
of the eponymous Thieves' Guild in Skullport, or Large Luigi,
