Just like how the Echo Knight is the best fighter subclass, the Runechild sorcerer is hands down the best subclass for sorcerers!

I think sigilic augmentation would apply to initiative rolls too which is nice. This subclass is really strong and fun.

Starting Sorcerer & dumping CHA can be useful for making a straight classed STR/DEX/CON based Runechild Sorcerer, especially with Sigilic Augmentation for advantage on physical checks. Imagine being great at Sleight of Hand because of some glowing Runes. Aberrant Dragonmark feat grants one Cantrip & one 1st-lv Sorcerer Spell to be keyed off of CON.
MM:Quicken Summon Draconic Spirit, give them 3 charges in protection as an action. Thats not till 9th level. In the meantime, MM: Quicken Booming Blade/Green Flame Blade.

In my opinion it says saving throws against your "sorcerer spell" not all saving throws or spells and class abilities the 14th level feature is an ability not a spell it's not apart of the normal spell which the 18th Level feature implies that it only works for spell features not class features but that's just my opinion I personally expected it to be a 10/10 but a 9/10 is reluctantly acceptable but I'm not happy about it

[@scottroberts1137]

I really don't understand your ranking arguments. The expanded spell list is almost identical to clockwork soul ( especially using aburation and transmutation ) which you gave a 10, it's arguably better than the aberration minds spell list which got a 10. Also, as far as using up your sorcery points to get the charged runes, atleast you get an extra resource for your abilities whereas every other sorcerer class you have to use your sorcerer points for metamagic and your class abilities. And for the capstone feature at 18th level, don't you think you will be using sorcery points during that big fight to get plenty of charged runes to keep it going. You are of course entitled to your opinion like I am but I really think you short-changed this subclass.
