This [B]EN Publishing 5e[/B] project interests me because of the new school of magic it offers, ecomancy, a field of magic that skirts the line of being druidic or clerical. There’s a nice amount of difference so these mages don’t feel like the other classes, but they’re akin and would be good company. Beyond that class, this 27-page book offers new spells and the ability to upcast 19 existing spells. It’s a nice addition to your [B]5e[/B] options.
