#Homebrew Class

[homebrew-a-la-traumaverse]

Subclasseptember Day 30

Let's say you could make a wish to change one thing about Dungeons and Dragons.

Not the culture surrounding it, not the business practices of the company that owns it, not the various tweets that have become immortalized over the years. The game itself. The rules and mechanics that define the game you're playing.

For myself, a few years ago, it would have been that there was no way to really unify the things I wanted out of a character. You can cast a spell, or you can hit the enemy with a sword; those are two separate actions, Smites and Scagtrips notwithstanding.

If you're a Paladin, you can choose to smite your enemies, or you can choose to heal your friends. Your support abilities and your martial abilities are contained away in neat little boxes that never mix.

What if you supported your allies in the process of attacking?

Well. You might get something a lot like the Magical Girl.

(featuring: Like 10 more pages of material that didn't fit here, 4 subclasses, a level of customization similar to the Warlock, and ethically-sourced Creative Commons art with absolutely zero AI input.)

Link below in the reblogs.

[dungeonmalcontent]

I talked ages ago about making a 5e necromancer class. So I did. It took... waaaay too long. And I do not have a good excuse as to why.

But I have things to share. Namely. I have a preview for the whole class. The whole class. All of it. Plus the theorems (spells). Free. Right below the cut (or you can follow this link).

But first, a notice. This may be all the "content" of the class, but I do plan on adding extra ritz to it. I want to add two appendices, both of which help organize and clarify elements of the class. I also want to add full art and do a theme redesign to match the necromancy vibe (instead of my general arcana theme I put on docs). I'm also going to do bigger edits and make sure everything is better polished and more readable. That version of the doc will be on GMsGuild and cost money (but I wouldn't charge money if the QoL changes weren't worth it). I want that available by Halloween. If you want to help speed things up, I have a review sheet here.

As far as other things to note: This is heavily influenced by the Locked Tomb books. That's where I drew a lot of ability themes and the name for "theorems". A lot of the subclass features are based off of characters in those books as well, see if you can figure out which (it's a little obvious).

Enjoy.

The Accursed Playtest 1

Hi there~! I hope these...Interesting times have treated you well, if you want some reprive from the horrors of life, I come bearing you all a gift. My second custom class for Dungeons and Dragons 5th-edition. The Accursed! An individual who became cursed, and has since learned to control it, turning it into a source of power. If you've ever wanted to play frankenstein's monster, a werewolf, or something like the lich king then this is the class for you.

Playing an Accursed

As previously mentioned, the accursed is a half caster similar to your rangers and paladins, focusing on debuffing and other control effects, unlike all other casters, the accursed uses constitution as its spellcasting ability, for your power now derives itself from your now cursed vitality.

Hex Points: Rather than using spell slots, the accursed gains a tiny pool of points, known as hex points to cast their spells, as well as use other accursed abilities. Similar to ki points or the warlocks spell slots, your hex points are recovered upon completing a short or long rest, allowing you to quickly regain your powers on the fly.

Overchannel: Overchannel is a type of stance the accursed can enter as a bonus action, unleashing their afflictions full power, this could take form as a bestial transformation, or a storm of raw arcane energy. While you overchannel your curse you can spent hit dice, rather than hex points when using your accursed abilities, as well as gaining additional benefits determined by your subclass. However, this power comes at a price, for the entire time your cursed is overchanneled, you suffer from a penality.

Accursed Adaptations: As the accursed gains levels, it gains adaptations, ways its curses evolves to be even more debilitating, these are essentially the accurseds eldritch invocation. However, I tried to design these much more as additional abilities the accursed can use, rather than just passive effects they get, though there are absolutely adaptations that are more passive. Some of my favorite adaptations include Evil eye, which lets you see hostile creatures under the effects of your spells as if you had blindsight. Scourge strike, which lets you spend hex points to deal additional necrotic damage on a weapon attack or unarmed strike (Essentially the accursed version of divine smite). And Manifested affliction allows you to summon a ghostly representation of your curse to aid you in battle.

Subclasses

The accursed document features 8 subclasses for your accursed subclass to choose from, while I won't go into great detail for each, I will list what each one does.

The Curse of The Beast is a lycanthrope subclass that turns an accursed into a ravenous beast, unleashing flurries of strikes against their foes.

The Curse of The Immolated is a blaster subclass focused on dealing as much fire damage as possible, burning enemies to a crisp

The Curse of The Immortal turns the accursed into a healer, bestowing them plenty of temporary hit points.

The Curse of Rebirth is a necrotic tank that empowers itself with temp HP, gaining benefits while it has said temp HP.

The Curse of The Sickened is a potent debuff that slowly chips away at its opponents health with powerful poisons and diseases

The Curse of The Parasite is a flexible striker that uses its variety of mutations to adapt to any combat scenario.

The Curse of Misfortune is your archetypal accursed that debuffs foes and bends fate to its will.

And lastly, The Curse of The Warrior is your archetypal gish that turns the accursed into a potent weapon wielder (Especially if you pick up the more martial oriented adaptions)

Design Goals

The overall goal of the accursed was to create a unique caster that played with the idea of "power at a price" while you wield explosive debuff and control potential (As well as other roles depending on your subclass) you also suffer from severe debuffs and lack much in the way of resistances through the accursed itself. This created an interesting "power budget" when designing the class as I felt like I could get away with bolder abilities due to those debuffs being there. It was also interesting to design for since, to quote someone who's intelligence score is higher than my own (That I don't remember the name of as of writing) 5th-edition is not a system of downsides, the only feature I can think of that debuffs you off is frenzy on the berserker barbarian, and even then that got patched out with the new PHB, so it feels rather interesting to design a class that's build around downsides (Even if you do have a way to get around it temporarily) I also wanted to create an experimental caster for the simple fact that casters arn't my favorite to design for. They're fun to play absolutely! But designing for them feels a little tedious since spellcasting inevitably takes up so much of the classes power budget, not to mention that there's a good chance you'll have to write new spells to fit a specific class theme, and that I don't want to just make a slightly altered paladin or wizard. Here's hoping I succeeded at the later.

That's all you need to know about the accursed before testing the class out for yourself, the document also comes with several new spells, most of which were written for the accursed itself, as well as a 2024 rules conversion guide for those wanting to play the class with the updated PHB. I hope you enjoy the accursed, leave feedback and possibly play the class in your own games.

Have fun and make sure to play some D&D

Skulduggery Inspired Vampire Class (D&D 5e)

NEW 5E CLASS: THE WITCHKNIGHT

This world has rules. Magical taboos and curses and planar bindings that hold power over even the most powerful beings of the realms. They are those rules, having claimed the the magical might of a witch along with the brawn bravery of a soldier. These are Witchknights, primal combatants wielding spell and sword in concert to aid their allies and rain punishment upon their foes. I think this one's pretty cool, personally, so I hope you enjoy it! (Don't forget to consider following/donating to my Ko-Fi if you appreciate this kind of work, I would be honored)

Hero class for 5e 2024

Drive Link and Mobile Friendly Link

Pick your mood music

The Hero, using powers you've never seen before, transforming into powerful armor to fight for those who can't defend themselves. Use your inspiring presence to bolster others and strike fear into foes.

Your special force determines your subclass: Troopers use weapons and get support of a robot companion they can summon to the field, it gets upgrades as you level. Magical Heroes get familiars and signature spells they can use to punish evil. And Renegades make use of special attacks and anything they can get their hands on to vanquish their enemies.

This class is designed for the 2024 edition, but you can remove the Weapon Mastery from Troopers to make it compatible with the 2014 edition.

[rollforthings]

Game? Well, sort of! I'm really into Fabula Ultima lately (running and homebrewing) and this Class I made for it felt ready to share. This is the Squire, a martial support Class who bolsters their allies with offense, defense, and arming them with the ideal equipment with the greatest of ease. This document includes the Class (Skills and backstory prompts), a handful of Heroic Skills, and a Game Master segment with advice to tailor your game-running to a Squire PC. Please let me know what you think!

[kits-foragings]

So as something of a preview for the Swordmage (the first draft of which is nearly complete), I’m previewing a few of the unique spells it gains access to: Spellstrike Spells.

These are designed in a similar vein to the various Smite spells. Each of them is based on the same amount of damage as a smite, but has a casting time of 1 action. Reason being that they're designed to he use alongside Spellstrike as a feature (which integrates a weapon attack into the casting of the spell).

Thundering Spellstrike is pretty simple, designed to push an opponent back. I wondered about adding more distance or a prone effect, might add that in the final version.

Shocking Spellstrike is another simple but very strong one, doing lightning damage and a stun.

A personal favourite, what if we made the Rust Monster's abilities into a spell? Being able to degrade armour and weapons is a real neat feature and I'm surprised its not seen more in official stuff.

So far the only Ranged Spellstrike spell, very much designed after the Warp-Strike in FF15. Hit someone, teleport to them, pretty straightforward

[basilhomebrews]

Hey, how've you been? Have you been eating right? I've been super busy with irl stuff, you know how it is. Anyways, have this super late April Fool's joke class for Fabula Ultima (late only here, dropped this one on the Rooster Games discord and FabUlt subreddit and it was a certified HIT, you just had to be there man /hj)

Anyways, don't expect anything anytime soon; got some irl stuff still going on and a pretty ambitious homebrew project in the works, might just drop FabUlt items here and there if I feel like it.

Here's the original google doc, if you wanna leave suggestions and such: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MPLasgPJvXuZuDL-9awpi_ayptUYTuzz6a2dIrwbFt8/edit?usp=sharing

Peace out, internet sailor.

[homebrew-a-la-traumaverse]

So, you know how I said I was making 30 subclasses for Subclasseptember? I lied. This one's a class, actually.

Subclasseptember Day 30: Choice

The Wildheart - Homebrew Class

The Wildheart is intended to fulfill a similar niche to Barbarian, but with its own flavor and a much more complex structure to provide the satisfying crunch that martials tend to otherwise lack.

Details under the cut.

This was a project that I'd been working on for a while over the last year. A complex martial, with similar build variety to the Warlock while not sacrificing the strengths of martial-oriented design. This was intended to contrast a simplistic mage whose build and combat choices would rival the elegance of a Champion Fighter. There's no reason that martials have to be the beginner's class and mages have to be the only choice for any actual variety in and out of combat.

The latter ended up being absorbed into the Swordmage, but the former ended up shelved - until now.

Subclasseptember has been a fun time, but I'm going to once again take a step back from brewing. Can't blame anyone else for not going all the way; it's definitely not an easy task. Wouldn't be called a challenge if it was.

Subclasseptember 2023 Compendium and DNDBeyond Links to come soon. Sadly, DNDBeyond still doesn't support homebrew classes.

Normally I'd make a funny quip here or something? But right now, all I can say is thank you everyone for your support. I intend to continue with these passion projects as long as I can. Albeit at a bit of a slower pace.

If you like what you see, I've got a ko-fi if you want to commission more of my stuff? It's in the pinned post on my page.

[the-oricami-curio]

@dichotomy.games came out with their homebrew full caster class, the Harlequin, and I fell IN LOVE with the character made to be the class representative and couldn't get them having a partner out of my head. So I made them one! Then I made the mistake of asking if the character has a name...and after naming them Whimsy (The Harlequin) and Wonder(their partner) I continued to make art of the duo and @dichotomy.games liked them so much they got their own stats!

Thanks again @dichotomy.games for making homebrew that is so inspiring!

Exalted Playtest 1

Hello there users of tumblr, after a long time in development, I now present the first playtest of the Exalted (Formerly known as the avatar) class for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. Originally created as part of my "Homebrew Class Design for Dummies" series, the exalted is a class based on divine heros such as Hercules, Sun Wukong, Cú Chulainn and Maui. As well as the Exalted TTRPG. You are a once ordinary individual that-through one way or another has been imbued with a spark of divine power, you now wield aspects of godly power as you carve your own legacy, weather that be as a great hero, a wise mentor or even a malevolent conqueror.

Playing an Exalted

For the most part, the exalted is a standard martial class, you choose your favorite weapon and you attack with it. However, the exalted has three core characteristics that make it stand out compared to other marital classes. Those being Willpower Points. Each time the exalted takes the attack action, it gains a willpower point, for every willpower point is has accrued it gains a bonus to the damage rolls of its divine implement (The classes signature weapon) Willpower points can also be spent to utilize special abilities, known as Providences

Providence Abilities: Providence abilities are miniature spell like abilities the exalted can preform by spending their willpower points, one example is "Split Heaven and Earth" which allows the exalted to cause a small earthquake, dealing damage to creatures in a 30-foot cone or 50 foot line, as well as creating difficult terrain. Providence abilities are granted both through your subclass, as well as through your epithets

Epithets: Epithets are the other main feature of the exalted, acting like a mix of warlock invocations and channel divinities, they grant you a unique providence ability. As well as granting you a passive ability known as a boon that enhances your capabilities.

Design Goals

Overall my goals for the exalted class are both A: To provide a more in depth and customizable martial and B: To make a class with the same level of flexbility as a cleric (Ie: where a whole party can play a cleric and still fill very distinctive roles) I also wanted the class to sort of redefine how the player thinks of the attack action, similar to a bladesinger wizard or the fizbans dragonborns. Hence why a good chunk of the providence abilities replace an attack action.

That's about all I have to say on the exalted playtest, the document also includes two new conditions, as well as a conversion guide for using the class with 2024 rules. I hope you'll read through the document, give me any feedback you got and possibly use this class for your own tables. Have fun and make sure to play some D&D

Nebula Faction - Dragon Knight

On day 21 of JanBrewary we looked to the sun for inspiration. So I dusted off an idea I'd had in my back catalogue for a while. A Dragon Knight faction inspired by the dragons found in the astral sea.

[Subclass Link] [Class Link] [Link to Prompts]

I wonder if anyone can guess which subclass this draws a lot of mechanical inspiration from?

[missiletainnyt]

HELLO HOMEBREWERS OF TUMBLR

I made a Homecrew class with 3 subclasses a while back and have yet to have the chance to playtest it myself due to lack of games. SO I OPEN UP THE FLOOR TO YOU!

The Apothecary Class! with the Subclasses: Battle Medic, Plague Docter, and Herbal Remedist.

Link

Playtest away!

Some parts I am aware may be overpowered, and some placed under powered, which is why I need it played before feedback, I have had plenty of speclutive feedback from me, friends and people I have sent and it has been balanced that way for a while, but I want to get on the ground testing, so if you would like to play it please let me know how it goes.

I will write down a few things I anticipate being FAQs below.

Q. Why not just use magic instead of the Ingredients and Concoction system?

A. DnD 5e is missing an option which adequetly fills the niche of nonmagical healer and herbalist which is satisfying to play. That and Flavour can only get you so far in terms of game feel.

Q. Why can the Concoction Potency increase Save DC? That seems like it could get out of hand.

A. Because this is a homebrew class there aren't any magic items which can increase Save DC which might make Concoctions a lot harder to use at late game, so building it into the class and requiring the expendature of resources which you had to either buy or gather yourself seemed like a viable solution. At early game doing this should eat through resources fast so it shouldn't cause too much issue I don't think, but that's why I want playtest feedback, mostly for balancing this section since I can fiddle with numbers all day but I need to know how they will actually effect balance outside of the Hypothetical.

Q. The potency and ingredient system is confusing, is there a way to simplify it?

A. It's already been simplified a few times when I realised how convoluted parts got before, so if you can give me specifics on what might help it make sense more, please let me know. While it makes sense to me, I am not a monolith.

Q. How long did you spend on this?

A. Like the bulk of it was done in 4 weeks through March-April iirc, with little tweaks here and there afterward.

Q. Can I make a copy and edit stuff for my games?

A. You can but do not try to claim it as your own please. Also if you want, tell me what you changed, could be anything from an ability to formatting to make it easier to read. I just wanna know how I can improve.
