    Homebrew Class : The Messiah, a hybrid between Bard and Cleric

    The Prophet. All good. The idea of using Thaumaturgy along with Celestial Messenger - start with a little ground shaking, let your eyes start to glow, and let that booming voice out: cue Neil Diamond, it's a Hot August Night!

    Homebrew Class : The Messiah, a hybrid between Bard and Cleric

    The Martyr. Channel Divinity: Righteous Wrath. Sweet. Extra Attack. Depending on the deity the PC worships, I can't see this as generally appropriate for a martyr. Otoh, moving Blessing of the Martyr from 14th level to this level slot (btw, you didn't specify if Extra Attack was 6th or 9th...

    Homebrew Class : The Messiah, a hybrid between Bard and Cleric

    The Saint: Channel Divinity: Aura of Vitality. Should there be a range specified for this feature? Shield of the Faithful: I just plain like this one, but a bit of clarification re the temporary hit points not stacking would clear it up for me. Do you only mean that they don't stack with...

    Homebrew Class : The Messiah, a hybrid between Bard and Cleric

    The base class features mostly appear okay to me. A few things: Divine Patronage: I would change the "never surprised" benefit at level 2 to simply having advantage on the roll to determine if the PC is surprised, and would make the use of the benefit require a long rest. Then, improve the...

    Homebrew Class : The Messiah, a hybrid between Bard and Cleric

    Before looking at it (I'll get back to this thread after doing so), the fact that you're concerned that it may be overpowered at the higher levels is something worth being concerned about. Balance is important to this game. In the context of your home brew campaign, it may be less of a problem...

    Help with a Noble Warlock / Sorcerer character's Sorcerous Heritage

    Here's one idea: per The Grand History of the Realms, pages 76-77, the history of the Obarskyr Dynasty shows that a commoner, Rathdar Orlenthar, was named Regent of the "boy kings" from 339-341 DR. This was during the long and terrifying decades when Gorauna's scheming destroyed everyone who...

    Help with a Noble Warlock / Sorcerer character's Sorcerous Heritage

    Perhaps the gold dragon ancestor had a human paramour in the way-back-when. The liaison resulted in a child who's own offspring some generations later married into the Obraskyr family.

    New Rogue Archetype: The Physician (Expert in Medieval Medicine)

    Just revisited this thread after receiving notice of an additional post, and I'm still very impressed with both the Physician archetype and the Plague Doctor background. Kudos to Storm! and empireofchaos. Choryukami, your suggestion for adapting the Cant feature also makes good sense, although...

    Monk Tradition: Sohei/Kensei

    I found this tradition to be a bit over-powered compared to other martial classes, and revised the 6th level feature to reign it in a little. Imo, starting out the Iajutsu Strike feature with a d12 superiority die is too much, too early, and so, the revision below: Iaijutsu Strike At 6th level...

    Giant Strider

    Okay; thank you. Given that the phoenix is both feathered and fiery, I see no reason not to update the great strider to have feathers, too. Possibly make them as colorful as the quetzlcoatl.

    Giant Strider

    Converted from what pre-5e source? What is its origin and how does it come by its affinity for fire? What does it look like?

    D&D 5E (2014) The tech types of your homebrew settings and characters

    Works for me. Now about that crashed spaceship. I understand there's a middle-aged, childless couple out in the Cormyrean Mid-west that are raising a little boy with a remarkably indestructible red blankie ...

    D&D 5E (2014) The tech types of your homebrew settings and characters

    There was a solo module published back in the 80s titled "The Maze of the Riddling Minotaur." It included instructions for adapting the adventure for group play, which I did, but doing so required developing some riddles on my own. One of those riddles involved something (I don't remember the...

    [WIP] New Cleric Domain: Community

    Oh. Now I'm wanting someone to develop a Mind or Dream domain. Will this ever end? <sigh>

    [WIP] New Cleric Domain: Community

    This is good. So, the level 8 feature: -Community Domain: Divine Strike (psychic) (as Liane the Wayfarer wrote it in #9). Would that be adding a damage die? If so, making it a d6 (raised to 2d6 at 14th level) makes some sense to me insofar as we wouldn't step on the War domain's d8. Or...

    [WIP] New Cleric Domain: Community

    Unfortunately, I lack that one. If I contribute to building this Domain, I'll need to pick up a copy of it first, though maybe the Pathfinder CRB will have something comparable.
