D&D 5E (2014) What's on your 5E 3rd Party Essential List?

[jayoungr]

The Tome of Beasts I-III and Creature Codex from Kobold Press.

I also sometimes use the Tome of Horrors from Frog God.

And, since I'm currently running a campaign in the setting, The Koryo Hall of Adventures (Korean-inspired setting) by Aurelien Lané.

That's, so far, everything off the top of my head

Ouch!

Ouch!

Right? @Weiley31 could have just said "Everything except Level Up" and been done with it!

Anything by Laserllama, all of which is free. His classes work with 2024, but are remakes of the original 12, but he also has new classes.

And can be found on GM Binder. Right now my favorite LL classes would have to be the Magus and the Ranger. The Magus because it is a pretty good take on a Gish IMO. The Ranger because 1) this version is a prepared half-caster, 2) it gets a Fighting style at 1st level instead of 2nd, 3) its' Knacks feature allows for more customization and 4) it's Quarry feature.

I also like LL's take on the Dual-Wielding Fighting style.

He could, but then we would be missing out on something good.

Ah, I just reacquainted myself with your warning list--which I'd entirely forgotten about. I get it now.

At least we can both agree your dog is cute.

Flee Mortals! for improvements to standard monsters

Ruins of Symbaroum for a low magic 5e I always wanted.

Ruins really is a well done 3rd party 5e based game.

I still need to get the 5E Bestiary for it. I was quite surprised it won best monster book of the year for a 5E product in 2023 or 2024 IIRC. Which shocked me a lot.
