Those look amazing, I will probably be upping my Roll20 subscription level just to get the new toys to use when I DM online.
I will need to brush up on my Roll20 skills, it has been a long time since I have DM'd on there. I never truly gave enough effort to learn the software enough to prep and...
Not much to add until I go through them all.
Fantastic idea! Looking forward to adding these to my own game as options and even traits for other creatures to use.
Looks like a great way to add in feats, templates, racial training, etc.

Barbarian: Rage damage could scale the same as proficiency bonus. Other classes seem to get more damage boosts (eg. monk scaled martial arts) so it's in line with them.
Fighter: saving throw bonuses will stack hard with Indomitable. Only +1, I'm sure play-testing will see how this...
I created a new homebrew condition, bleeding, to have damage over time.
Some monsters have traits that do extra damage to bleeding creatures, and some weapons/attacks can impose the condition. Lots of other little things I integrate it with.
I also change the damage type to mimic other...
Cover rules: no penalty on ranged attacks shooting into melee, no bonus for taking covers, no +Dex saves...
and of course everyone complained about static combats and no movement....
I like Berserker - it has Norse/Viking connotations "to fight in a trance". The berserker has the potential to rage and enter into a special state. It doesn't (necessarily) mean that they are always angry.
I like the later stages of MCU Bruce Banner/The Hulk. A great example of a Barbarian-type...
I do an annual Halloween one shot. This will be the 6th year
Last year was heavily inspired by Coco, Dias de muertos (mexican culture+day of the dead), and School of Rock
The party ended up winning the (literal) battle of the bands and defeated the dark Baron Samedi, finally allowing the...
Ice Dice is a fantastic idea. An obvious market for it in retrospect, and something to build on for their company going forward if they choose.
Already placed an order for my current DM as an easy Xmas gift, but kicking myself for not thinking of it myself! Props to Jon and Spidermind Games...
Search up the Dark Sun 5e conversion/homebrew guides. I have seen a bunch around and lots of them have good ideas for a lower-magic, Conan feel.
Mythic Odyssey of Theros is probably another good one to look at.
Watch/read a few movies/books/comics about them for inspiration. 300 (movie and...
This DMGuilds product has two additional dragons for age categories. Monster Manual Expanded (5E) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
1. Young Adult (in between Young and Adult), good for 2nd-tier parties as a challenging boss encounter or medium encounter for higher level parties
2...
I like the UA Class Variants, where the Druid can expend a use of their Wildshape to cast Find Familiar instead.
Maybe adding Find Familiar to the Ranger spell list could fill the niche for some players who want a flavourful animal companion without devoting their entire subclass to it. A...
I have found that the use of Versatile weapons really depends on how RAW many DMs rule certain things.
Personally I track having a free hand - you can't grapple with both a shield and weapon, object interaction cannot be done, holding a torch or item requires sheathing your weapon, casting some...
