As the person to blame for the Troll Slayer archetype, I'm just glad to hear someone is actually playing it! I thought perhaps its weird love/hate troll lore would be too weird to actually get any use.

it's way more flavorful than the old O5E barbarian, too. I really didn't find that class compelling at all. I really like the berserker, though.

That style of index is also going to be in MoAR Complete (but just for its own contents), which I think will keep the number of sources you need to reference to three (the tools site, SftFV, and MoAR Complete) until additional A5E spells from 3PP sources hit the market. However, I...

Also, this is my own anti-WotC sentiment talking, but WotC will continue to enjoy undeserved relevance if the TTRPG community keeps checking to see what they do and adjusting to match. It's fine to monitor the general state of design, IMHO, but let them go their way as they will and don't worry...

I can't speak for EN Publishing, but I hope not. I would prefer Level Up stay as separate from D&D as possible going forward, given the stunts that WotC has pulled in just the last year. I think relying on that company for anything is an extremely unwise thing to do at this point. Also keep in...

Any and all A5E classes with a sufficiently open license are on the table for future motif classes as far as I'm concerned. I have a few ideas that incorporate VRC classes whenever that becomes available.

Why is that a strange assumption? Also, another possibility: future-proofing. This caps extra HP from some hypothetical archetype that focuses on them that could be developed in the future from getting outside acceptable parameters.

A little teaser: Next month's thematic toolkit, Itinerant, is Cleric/Esper/Ranger. So look for a new Esper archetype and Esper/Cleric and Esper/Ranger synergy feat chains in that. :)

All of the MoAR Heritages are Josh Gentry's excellent work, by the way. I don't want to steal credit for the work he did!

Grinding Cog just uses non-magical gear. Ball bearings, manacles, caltrops, that sort of thing.

Force: Astral sand. Psychic: Phantasmal sand (feels like getting scoured in a sandstorm, but there's no physical matter there - just psionic energy powerful enough to peel the flesh off your bones) Thunder: Supersonic sand - comes out so fast that every particle creates a tiny sonic boom

The combat engineer, despite having the word "engineer" in the name, is pretty substantially different from not just the field engineer, but any other existing A5E artificer subclass. It's, well, combat oriented. The archetype gets a custom weapon, suit of armor, and mechanical companion. At...

THEMATIC TOOLKIT IS BACK And back with a bang! This month is Artificer/Savant/Wizard! Artificers can be an Archivist, an expert in written magic. They can eventually read anything (and do it safely!) and encode physical objects into books as magical text for later retrieval. Savants can...

Oh, I'll be linking it all over the place (including here) when it's out. You won't have to look very hard. ;)

Nope. It will be on DTRPG when it's done.

I have been lightly teasing this for a while, but I think it's time to stop being coy. For once I am going to announce something a while before it comes out, because this is a BIG deal! Over the time I've been running PMG, I have gotten two questions over and over again: 1. Are you ever going...

PMG products have been added to the new category!

That also works! Also: at this point, I can't really update the original PDF, but I have made a note for any reprints that material gets.
