Living Gateway

You have a innate magical power that opens your mind to creatures from around the multiverse. Your own energy can be focused in order to retrieve creatures of all varieties and have them temporarily exist on your current plane. Perhaps your power was a gift from birth, or maybe a specific event granted you this wondrous affinity for summoning, such as a magical outburst or a mighty artifact.

Summoning

At 1st level, you gain access to an array of spells that only those of this origin are able to cast called "Summons". Whenever you would learn a spell, you may select one of these. They are considered to be sorcerer spells.

Your Summons are magical reflections of beings that reside within other planes, elsewhere in your current plane, or no longer are among the living. They know little of what their true selves would know, and therefore are unable to give information other than what they would perceive at the time. Sometimes it seems as if the contacted creatures are aware, while other times not. It's debatable whether or not someone with this ability can actually bond with a Summon.

Outlandish Knowledge

You've contacted humanoids, beasts, and other beings from a multitude of planes. This had granted you knowledge of many creatures. When you make an Intelligence check to recall knowledge about a kind of creature, you can double your proficiency for the roll.

Additional Metamagic

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use Metamagic. Whenever you're able to choose a Metamagic option, you can choose to pick one of these instead of the normal options.

Forgo Sacrifice

When a summoning spell requires the sacrificing of a 1st level Summon, you can spend 2 sorcery points to omit the requirement.

You can spend an additional 1 sorcery point for every level of Summon, or every extra Summon, required for a sacrifice. (Ex. If a Summon requires the sacrifice of two 2nd level Summons, it would cost 5 sorcery points to omit all the requirements. Instead you could pay less, such as 3 sorcery points, and lower the requirement to one 2nd level and one 1st level Summons.)

Bolster Companion

When you cast a spell or as an action, you can spend 1 sorcery point to give one of your Summons within 60 feet of you a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls and to make their weapon and unarmed attacks magical until the end of your next turn

You can spend an additional 1 sorcery point for each extra Summon you want to target with this effect.

Bulwark

As a reaction, when one of your Summons is within 5 feet of you and you're targetted by an attack that only has one target, you can spent 1 sorcery point to have your Summon take the damage instead. This must be used before finding out whether or not the attack is successful.

Extended Visit

When you cast a summoning spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to raise the duration of the spell to 10 minutes.

Summoner Survivalist

At 6th level, the range of all your summoning spells increases by 30 feet. You also gain a +1 bonus to AC for every one of your Summons within 5 feet of you.

Additionally, whenever you sacrifice a Summon to cast a summoning spell, you regain an amount of hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + half your sorcerer level rounded down (minimum 1).
