Wild Magic

I love unpredictable magic. There's a whole universe of possibilities and players never know what will happen. This is why I think that wild magic sorcerers are a wonderful addition in fifth edition D&D. They really sell the class and give it a personality. Sorcerers aren't trained magicians, they're emotionally charged lightning rods of arcane energy. They channel powers beyond their understanding and occasionally they hit oil- or wild magic as the case may be. And those surges can be real gushers.

I've added another 50 effects to the already-awesome wild magic surge table for a nice rounded out 100. Easy on those 1d100 rolls.
