I am working on an alternate sorcerer to accomplish two things, distinguish it more from wizards and make subclasses feel more distinct. One of my approaches is to do more with sorcery points. I am giving more metamagic as well as subclass specific abilities that use them. This runs even...

In an offshoot of a discussion of the mystic, I decided to build a new class to replace the flavor role of the sorcerer in my homebrew world. The core mechanics are that they spell points but instead of picking spells at certain levels they gain access to something like a domain or discipline...

I have just finished working on a (very cultured) barbarian from an India-based continent and have been struggling to find a decent portrait. Everything tends to be more western-style clothing. Does anyone know a good place to look for alternatives?

After Xanathar's came out I was able to put my finger on something that was bothering me about some classes/subclasses. It was starting to feel like some were getting very heavily into the design space of others. With this thought I starting thinking about what made up the essential nature of...

I am legitimately not trying to start any sort of flame war, but these two feats seem hyped way beyond anything I have seen at the table. +10 damage is good, probably around doubling your damage on a hit (for argument's sake I am assuming 12 or 11 damage on a hit normally), but it comes with a...

I know how it is written in the UA but I was wondering if anyone has found a strong preference between averaging ranger companion hit points or rolling each hit die. Furthermore has anyone found that giving the creature its own hit dice instead of a HP pool confusing or slowing things down...

This is my first attempt at a homebrew monster and thought it might be worth sharing, now that it is past the very first steps of creation. Nothing Beasts I didn't say there wasn't anything chasing us, I said NOTHING was chasing us. The nothing beasts are a strange creature composed of an...

I see a lot of really nice custom class/monster write ups around with the fonts, page layout and coloring right from the books. Is there an easy way to achieve this or is everyone just that good with graphic design?

I accidentally hit something that switched from the mobile interface to the regular web view. It is not great for navigating on my small touchscreen but I cannot find a way to go back. Anyone know where it is?

I am starting work on my first 5e monster (well a progression of three monsters) and was looking for some guidelines. Is there a recommended progressin of Hit Dice and damage by CR? Should there by a limit to the number of special abilities a monster has? What is a good way to determine AC?

I've been seeing a lot of talk all over the place about wanting this or that weapon to be finesse often reflect some particular real-world combat style or experience. The pike in particular seems to come up a lot. While some weapons obviously rely on pure unadulterated strength for their...

This is the outgrowth of the Make a Flawed Item thread to collect those items that don't have a drawback, but don't have much of a use. See Xanathar for many examples. Ball of Fetching Whenever this ball is thrown a spectral hound appears, chases after it and returns it to you on your...

Everyone knows about magic items and their cursed counterparts, but what about helpful items that just happen to have a significant drawback? I am curious to see what we can come up with. For the purpose of making them an actual choice. Any flawed item can only be removed during a short or...

I have a couple of questions about how the Dragon's Breath spell works with enhancements like then dragon sorcerer's damage boost. Do they apply to the cone granted by the spell? If yes, do they also apply if the spell is cast on another character other than the caster? Finally can a ranger's...

This may have already been addressed but it just came up for me with someone multi classing two full caster classes. Several classes state something like "at each level you can one new spell known (or two to your spellbook, or whatever) these spells must be from a level you can cast. So if for...
