    Creating Dark Kobolds

    So, I've been sketching out a homebrew setting for a Campaign that is coming up in a couple months, as part of that I've listing off races and placing them in the world, or deciding they don't fit. One of the various regions of my world is the shadowed lands of Theranos. In basic terms, think of...

    The Path of the Reaper for Barbarians

    Here we are. This one was inspired by the Huntsmen from Lloyd Alexander's "Prydain Chronicles," and I ran with it. I kind of like the idea of a build up barbarian, and the theming fits nicely into a radical cult in my own campaign setting. I realize Reaping Blow might need a little balancing, so...

    The Medic for Rogues; A Nonmagical Healer

    So this one is hot off the press. I've been thinking about the concept of an effective nonmagical healer for DnD for a while now. After all, not every fantasy doctor wants to devote themselves whole-heartedly to a deity, or spend hours studying the complex magics of bards or druids. I realize...

    Creating a Hermit-y Wizard School, Any Ideas?

    So, I've started up a new homebrew. It's a kind of a nature-y/druid-y/mystical-y wizard school. It is inspired pretty heavily by the Geomancer from Stonehearth, which thematically, is kind of at that intersection between druid and wizard. Their knowledgable, but not studious, and their more in...

    Stonehearth's Rabbits in 5e

    Yeah, so I've been considering eventually running a PbP set in Hearth, the world from Radiant Entertainment's management game Stonehearth. I went ahead and brainstormed some ways to rejigger Hearth into a 5e setting, and realized that it might be a good idea to have a homebrewed Rabbitfolk race...

    Creating Stonehearth's Rabbitfolk in 5e

    So, I've been thinking about setting up a setting based on the world of Hearth from the video game Stonehearth for possible use in a future PbP or something. So far it's been an easy and fairly fun process, considering the game's lore. I ran into somewhat of an issue with the playable races...

    The Llygpobl, cheese-loving humanoids

    So got this one done today, and I like it a bit. It is much more skill orientated than other races, and I would like some feed back on how you think this could be improved. All of the deities mentioned in the fluff are from my setting's pantheon, and their appearance in the various religious...

    Grimspawn, the Walking Dead

    Hey, finally got this done. I thought this was a fun idea as a race in my setting. Just an FYI, the Grim Legion are an organization in my setting, though really, they could be linked to just necromantic animation in general. Tell me what you think. GrimspawnLost, forsaken, and accidental...

    Is Awakened Mind a psionic ability?

    So, I'm occasionally tapped as fill-in DM for my local shared campaign, and as such, I like to have modules ready to run. As our thing isn't really AL, and I honestly don't like using official adventures, I right my own modules, and was thinking of writing up a second backup should my DM job...

    D&D 5E Spell Slot Powered Abilities. Are they spells?

    So, I've just been thinking about multiclassing stuff, and found something hat might be interesting to discuss. There are a handful of abilities (smite(both divine and eldritch), primeval awareness, combat wild shape...) that require you to spend a spell slot to use them. However, they are not...

    If You Had to do a Gith storyline, What would it be like?

    To all players who do not want lore spoilers, this might not be an ideal thread. So, I've been reading through the MToF lore, and there are plenty of places with inspiring, mysterious lore, like the lore on Zariel and Moloch and such, and others where that was less so. *cough*Dwarf and...

    Ettins as Exile Giants?

    So, my home campaign is set in Matthew Mercer's Exandria. I'm planning on having multiple plot threads happening simultaneously, so the players have to choose who they help when and can straight up just have some history happening in the background. One of these plot threads is that the Exile...

    Homebrew subclass revisions

    So I finally got around to revising some of my homebrew subclasses, and chucking others. In the past, I've given each subclass its own thread, but seeing as these are (mostly) all revisions, I'd figure I'd not try to res some old threads and save data with only one new one. Anyway, feel free to...

    Stuck on What to do in Adventure Design. Little help?

    So, I have a group of friends that I DM for. We don't get to meet that often, but things seem to be becoming more or less regular. They started the campaign new to DnD, so I ran them on LMoP. Since we started, most of them have been able to experience other campaigns and come to the weekly...

    The Wolvrin, Canine humanoids

    Okay, Ill admit, this was heavily based on the Tabaxi, and I know the typical "canine humanoids" in DnD have been the Gnolls, but a) I honestly didn't want to have to deconstruct the statblocks to build a race, b) I'm not a fan of the infernal fluff they have, and c) I just wasnt thinking of...

    D&D 5E The Circle of the Drake, Dragons are natural, too

    Again, dumb names aside, I realize this feels like the Circle of the moon a lot, and that you have to wait a bit to get your hands on draconic wild shapes, but I think this still turned out well, but Ill let you be the judge of that. Let me know what you think. Druid: Circle of the DrakeThe...

    D&D 5E The Blade Domain; Stabby Clerics

    Okay, dumb titles aside, this is meant to be a melee cleric that uses swords. I drew heavy inspiration from the Blade Bard and Hexblade Warlock, with a little bit of the Berserker Barbarian. I'll admit, the root of this idea was to have a class that automatically got the Shadow Blade spell at...

    D&D 5E Stout Halfling as a Half-Dwarf, Half-Halfling

    This is really more fluff than anything, but I think is a cool idea. It does pose one mechanics question, access to Dwarven Fortitude. What you think. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E The Brawler; who doesn't like some good old fashioned fisticuffs?

    I FINALLY FOUND A NICHE I CAN MAKE A FIGHTER SUBCLASS OUT OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been wracking my brain for an idea for MONTHS! Today, it finally hit me. Unarmed Combat. I tried to stay off the monks toes as much as I could, and I think I succeeded. Hopefully this isn't too much like the Brute...

    D&D 5E Dragonborn Pit Fighter; What class?

    So, I recently had a spark of inspiration to design a pit fighting organization (possibly a drag-drop module, we'll see) so I started designing NPCS (mainly fighters, but also a couple managers/organizers). One of these NPCs is a white dragonborn fighter named Kalandon. Kalandon is going to be...
