This is my take on the Ranger. The Ranger Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d10 per Ranger level Hit Points at 1st Level: 10 + Constitution modifier Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + Constitution modifier per Ranger level after 1st Proficiencies Armor: Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields Weapons...

If you think the PHB Ranger is too weak, here's the simple solution; Favored Enemy: Add the following sentence: Once per turn, when you hit one of your Favored Enemies with a weapon attack, you may add your proficiency bonus to one of that attack's damage rolls. Primeval Awareness: Delete the...

And for Faerie versions: Air: mountains covered in lush jungle drifting lazily across an endless dawn sky, wreathed in cool mist. Trees, flowers, and fungi of every shape, size, and hue crowding every inch of habitable space. Thundering waterfalls gushing from caverns gleaming with gems and...

If you don't want to use the Planescape model, I would suggest the following: Air: Dark, storm-wracked sky, acrid black smoke instead of clouds, and barren stone islands drifting, shattered and scorched by constant lightning strikes, amid an endless void of thin air. Undead djinnis, Aarakocra...

If I had to make this a subclass, I'd do it like this: Bonus Proficiencies At 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills, if you weren't already proficient. Beguiling Prodigy Starting at 1st level, you have an innate knack for deception that goes above and beyond...

I allow Gnolls as PCs, mostly because I like hyenas, and dislike the way they're vilified in popular culture. I wrote up my own racial traits for my campaign, as I don't like the version that Kobold Press came up with; Ability Score Increase. +2 Strength Speed. 30ft Darkvision. Just like...

If you want more Giants for your campaign, you can give this a look. Also, to be helpful, Towering Steps is redundant, since IIRC, all creatures can move through a space occupied by a creature two or more sizes smaller than them. EDIT: confirmed; "Moving around other creatures," PHB pg. 191

Hey, my girlfriend and I are looking for a group. Either to DM (I just bought Tomb of Annihilation), or as players. Either way is cool. We're living in Angola, NY right now, but planning on moving to Orchard Park within a few months. We usually play at WNY Gaming in Hamburg, so anywhere around...

I prefer in-game solutions over rules changes, in general. In the case of Devil's Sight and Darkness, that's as easy to fix as having one monster cast Dispel Magic. If this party is known for abusing this tactic, then it stands to reason that any intelligent enemy faction will begin planning for...

On sale now, the first part of the new second volume of the Lost Bestiaries series presents six Gemstone dragons from the history of D&D, updated and revised to fit 5th Edition mechanics. Inside, you will find: - The Classic Quintet. The Amethyst, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz, each...

That's exactly why I'm explicitly avoiding the use of the original class names, especially "Samurai." In the document, I'm pointing out directly that these are just one vision of how the class could be imagined in 5e. The "Elementalist" Wizard is a Wu Jen, but not THE Wu Jen. The "Way of the...

That's the main reason I made it a Fighting Style instead of actually altering the Longsword itself, or making a new weapon. It seems like a good idea to restrict access to a 1d10 slashing Finesse weapon to classes that already have better options using Strength. That said, if I did feel like...

I created a fighting style for the Fighter, Ranger, and Paladin that allows them to treat a Longsword as a Finesse weapon. Although, I might go the Monk route and just say "you can use Dex instead of Strength for the Longsword," to avoid any Defensive Duelist/Sneak Attack shenanigans.

I'm aware of the negative connotations of the word "Oriental." I took a class on it in college, in fact. However, it's the name of the book, and any alternative to the term would be either hopelessly vague, silly-sounding, or equally offensive to the same people who dislike "Oriental." As such...

Nobody has any comments at all?

EDIT: in keeping with some of the feedback I've received, I've made a few changes below. Edited material is indicated by bold text. Hey, I'm currently working on a project to update the original AD&D Oriental Adventures setting to 5e via the DM's Guild. I figured I'd post some of the material...

Dragons have existed since time immemorial, each one created in the likeness of the Ninefold Dragon, Io. In the uncounted eons since their creation, the first dragons have spread across Abeir-Toril and evolved into a myriad of different forms. The most common dragons known to the people of the...

Thanks for the helpful replies, guys. I've decided to just do the art myself. I'm fairly competent with MS Paint, as I used to use it to make Megaman sprite comics, so I've just been using that. Results have been okay so far... I just have trouble with digits (hands/feet) and humanoid faces.

So, just to clarify; my primary goal in making this thread was to get links to previously completed fan art. Once I had such links, I was going to ask the original artists if I could use them in exchange for some kind of non-monetary compensation, like a shout-out or cross-advertisement for one...
