I like Chirurgeon and actually considered that as a name of either the class, or an alternate name of the bonesetting feature. I decided it was kind of a mouthful and I like Phycisian, as it strikes a good balance as being a word most people would understand now while still being more or less...

Wow, lots of great discussion here! I really appreciate it! Haha in my original personal draft, I actually had max health restored whenever a rest hit die was used. I gave it some thought and realized that was crazy-overpowered for a level 3 class feature (Almost equal to the life cleric, the...

I think a very important, but poorly-represented character concept is that of the skilled healer, someone who more closely represents what a healer in a medieval setting is actually like. The Player's Handbook includes the healer feat, but I wanted this archetype to not rely at all on the feat...

You've made a good point about the saving throws getting all wonky. Looking at the other sorcerous origins, which give some kind of extra skill bonus, instead I've given the Ascetic advantage on Perception (Wisdom) checks and Survival checks from their awareness and attunement to the world...

Haha this is definitely the new mechanic I was worried about. At least the saving throw bonus I wasn't worried about from a balance perspective, being a much more restricted version of the Paladin's Aura of Protection at best. My thought process was that the ascetic trades disadvantage for raw...

Hey everybody, in Legends & Lore (TSR2108) for 2nd edition, there was a very interesting Ascetic class. They were a kind of "Prestige Class" that anybody could go into, and was included in the section on the indian mythos. They had strict vows of poverty, but in return got to cast wizard spells...

I would totally agree with you, but the only reason I'm not certain about changing the mechanic to just advantage/disadvantage is that Dark portent is almost a total carbon copy of the PHB Diviner's Portent ability, only taking away some of the utility and emphasizing the gloominess of it by...

Working on a new divine domain for clerics in my 5E game. The idea is to represent clerics who worship "Old-Fashioned" gods. Gods that are not necessarily outright evil, but hold their followers to rigorous standards, and are quick to punish those that displease them. Game-mechanically, its...
