The planes offer incredible opportunities for travel and excitement, but few have the skill and expertise to take advantage of them. The jaunter, however, is a consummate expert on travel who specializes in getting exactly where he or she wants to go—whether it’s across the multiverse or just across the battlefield. Becoming a Jaunter Jaunter is a prestige class, […]
Spellcasters specializing in demon eradication can gain great fame and prestige—if they survive long enough. Although demons are highly resistant to spells, a demonwrecker’s magic is more effective at penetrating their defenses than magic from other sources. While the elite divine spellcasters known as demonwreckers specialize in fighting demonic opponents, they are almost as effective as their nonspecialized counterparts at combating foes […]
This is one I’ve been stewing on for a while mostly because I’m not totally sure how I wanted to do it. Everyone would love to play a dog, right? But obviously, they come with some interesting challenges. The biggest challenge is that dogs can’t hold things. Which renders nearly every class useless other than […]
This class comes as a request from one of my loyal patrons. The concept stems from the character Archer from Fate/stay night. I’ll admit, this took a little research on my part (I wasn’t familiar with the character), but I saw the class as sort of an “extreme” version of the Arcane Archer. The Epic […]
Continuing the requests for Arcane/BroadSword Magazine #1, this one comes from another Platinum-level Patron: Manastone Sorcerer. Basically a Sorcerer that gets their powers from magically infused stones called Manastone. Alternatively this could be done as Runestones, inert stones that are charged with magical energy through the inscription of arcane runes onto the stones. I dig […]
This week, between working on content for BroadSword Magazine #1 and Arcane, a Premium PDF for my patrons, I’m taking request for magical stuff. Here’s one such request from one of my Platinum-level Patrons: Wizard tamer: tames a monster to serve as a familiar and proxy on the battle field potentially switching out as they […]
This one comes as a request from one of my patrons. Here is what he asked for: Hi Dave, I’d love to see what you can create for a Barbarian subclass around the idea of the more damage he takes, the more damage he can dish out. Even better if his attacks are unarmed. I’m […]
Another Spelljammer addition (original, mind you!), this one comes from another player who had some ideas on what he wanted the class to do. Basically, the race is sentient gas. But how the hell can you make sentient gas work in Fifth Edition without breaking the game? Design Notes Here are the list of traits […]
I’m running a Spelljammer campaign, and one of my players wanted to do something outside of the box with his warlock. First, he had me come up with an octopode class. And now I need to make a Great Space Whale patron. Challenge accepted! Design Notes With this particular design, I wanted to stick with […]
Octopodes are intelligent, space-faring half-octopus humanoids. They appear to be human or elven from the waist up, with only a few features that may reveal their demihuman nature: purplish or grayish skin, spots, or even rocky ridges along their back and base of their neck. From the waist down, octopodes have eight tentacles arranged in […]
