Get Ready for Martial Artistry: A Compendium of Combat for 5e Games
Hey, folks! I'm launching my Kickstarter for Martial Artistry on June 15th! What's it contain?
Four new Heritages, three new Cultures, and two new Backgrounds!
These new heritages are designed from the start to be options for both Fantasy and Sci-Fantasy character options.
Four new Classes (with two Stretch Goal Classes!)
The Champion, the Gunslinger, the Sentinel, and the Warcaster are already in the book. The Blackguard and Swordmage are the Stretch Goals. Each has 4 archetypes to start.
Ten new Archetypes for existing classes!
Whether it's a Herald that swears the oath of the Warbringer, or an Eco-Terrorist Druid, these archetypes will add some interesting options for your table!
Twelve new Martial Traditions!
With 16 new combat maneuvers in each of the new traditions, that's a lot of combat customization!
New Combat, Social, and Reward Systems!
The new Mass Combat structure will make things easy to handle when you flip between the scales of personal and army level conflicts and allow your player characters to take important roles within it. The Social Combat structure gives an option to put realistic limits on how much pressure your players can put on NPCs before talking things out is no longer an option. And with the Fealty system, you can provide your players with connections to the game-world and a reference that lets them show you what they want as rewards while leveling up!
More options than you can shake a long sword at!
A firearms revamp to bring them in line with other weapons damage ranges while still being a good option, new weapon traits, new armor options, magical banners, alternate class features for strong rogues and heralds without spellcasting, a simple injury system, martial knacks, combat synergies, so many options to better customize your characters! There's even Assistive weapons and combat wheelchair options for your players of disabled characters, whether permanent or only temporary thanks to the injury system!
So sign up for the Backerkit, now, and use this thread as an Ask Me Anything!

I hope the Swordmage stretch goal is reached.
