DM DaveLeave a Comment on Demonwrecker Prestige Class | New Player Option for Fifth EditionPosted in Player Options Tagged , ,

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 […]

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 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 […]
