I'm also open to discussing new subclasses beyond the ones on this list, and potentially adding or removing races. For example, I really liked the "Undead Master" (a sort of necromancer/conjurer/enchanter hybrid kit) in AD&D, and it could be interesting in 5e.Homebrew Subclasses List:* Sorcerer** Kobold Bloodline - To reflect the unique status of kobolds in this world and because it was a neat idea in PF. I have this written, but I could use feedback on it.** Iceheart/Flamebreath /Earthbones/Greenblood/Rotheart/Seashaper/Windrider - Assorted elementalist origins, because I think it's a fundamental aspect to explore. How to actually make them different to the  elemenalist wizard is the tricky part. Greenbloods are wood elementalists, Rothearts are entropy elementalists. A draft exists for the Rotheart subclass.* Warlock** Lifebringer - A healing and protecting focused warlock, important given the lack of divine classes and the set-up for warlock/theurge lore.** Dark Mother - Inspired by Shub-Niggurath and Lamashtu, a healer warlock with some added bite.** Doomspeaker - Apocalyptic herald warlock, specializing in curses and destruction.** Ashmaker - Essentially a more fiery counterpart to the Doomspeaker.** Frostbringer - The ice equivalent to the Ashmaker.** Primordial - A warlock elementalist, focused on wielding multiple elemental energies or elemental transmutation; takes inspiration from 4e's Primordials.* Wizard** Elementalist - Because elementalism is one of the oldest and most well-established schools of magic in-setting, but we have no elementalist wizard from WoTC yet. This one is already written.Races List:* Human - The truest heirs to this world, humans are everywhere and are the most unique/chaotic of species, with myriad different cultures and settlements.* Dwarf - Have essentially reverted to xenophobic conservatism, falling back on traditions (and bitterness) to comfort themselves over the shock of losing their empire. Can be broken into pureblood clans, Underdark-dwelling deep dwarf clans (pureblood culture, duergar stats), and more liberal forgeborn clans.* Gnomoi - Excitable, chaos-fueled, brilliant mages and artificers, believed to be mutant dwarves, set on finding their own way in life.* Drow - Survivors of the arrogant Aelfar elves who fled into the Underdark, mutating physically but preserving their culture. May create a replacement list of spell-like abilities for them. Driders, Scorrow and variants are now an elite caste in their society; fleshshapers who bonded themselves to giant vermin to be better adapted to their environment.* Kobold - Physically degenerated spawn of the now-extinct dragons, who burn with the desire to reclaim their ancestral majesty.* Dragonborn - The most successful of the kobold's various experiments in recreating dragons, an artificial race that remains unstable.* Warforged - Artificial soldiers created by humanity in a failed attempt to end the Doomwars that ruined the world, now searching for a purpose.* Orks - Descendants of elves mutated by vengeful dwarves during the Doomwars and who tore free of their intended role as warrior-slaves. Use Half-Orc stats.* Goblins - Mutant orks who have regained some small measure of their ancestral magical abilities. Use Forest Gnome stats.* Gnoll - A budding civilization of tribal, matriarchal anthro hyenas.* Caliban - The heavily mutated progeny of humanity, created by the many arcane pollutants still contaminating the world.* Aranea - Sapient, magically adept, scholarly spider-folk evolved from giant spiders used by elves to guard their magical libraries.* Rodushi (Ratfolk) - Rats who evolved into humanoid form amidst the ruins of a great city of philosophers, and who thusly see it as their duty to heal the land and fight the darkness.* Shadar-Kai - Elves overwhelmed by necromantic energy, turning them into cursed sensates who seek endless stimulation, lest they fade away into nothing.* Fangwyrms - A failed kobold experiment that produced kobolds with serpentine attributes, who now forge a new culture for themselves after being abandoned.* Slyvharri - A race of bunnyfolk raised up to sapience by elven lich-wraiths and forged into a twisted culture of slavers and conquerors.* Reptilians - More successful but still failed experiments of the kobolds. An excuse to add lizardfolk and serpentfolk racial options.* Chitines - A drow experiment in breeding arachnid servitors and/or in enslaving the araneas gone disastrously wrong. Semi-eusocial quasi-parasitic predators with a slavery-focused "culture".* Half-Men - Various half-breeds and hybrids born of humanity's inherent interspecies compatibility. Half-elves, half-dwarves, half-gnomes, half-gnolls, maybe half-orcs if I can figure out how to justify them stat-wise (use hobgoblin or half-goblin stats?).</blockquote>
