Thumbnail art by HyunJoon Kim Oath of Justice The Oath of Justice has paladins settle on being the law, or the impersonation of it. Law and order go hand in hand, and it’s these paladin’s vision that with a system, there is justice.

Way of the Fan

The way of the fan isn’t an official monk school per se. Rather, it’s typically a method that someone learns because they have no other weapons appropriate to carry with them. Most who learn this way are maids, ladies in waiting, (typically) female royalty, or travelers who wish to appear unarmed. In a eastern campaign, both men and women might learn this Way. Way of the Fan At 1st level, those who take this tradition gain the fan as a […]

The “Oath of the Prepared” is a paladin class for characters who always want to have the right tools for the job.

Characters who take this pride themselves in being prepared for whatever life may throw at them. Some quotes to consider when making an “Oath of the Prepared” paladin “I love […]

The Spice Domain is a domain for those non-combat focused clerics who love to cook or want to be able to use cooking skills in-game.

Tattoos are often very personal things. They may represent a person’s oath, be a memento, or a way to access their power. But why limit it to those types of things?

Cardslinger – Sorcerous Origin for D&D 5e

Shawn Ellsworth — Thu, 14 May 2020 22:34:02 +0000

This week on the Campaign Trail, I’m sharing a new sorcerous origin that I created for a weird west/fantasy mix campaign I am planning to run later this year. Sorcerers are those rare individuals who are naturally connected to the magical energies found in the universe. They only need to learn to harness their connection to unlock powerful abilities. A sorcerer with this origin uses cards to channel their innate magic and draw on magical energies of the world. Design […]

Maverick – Roguish Archetype for D&D 5e

Shawn Ellsworth — Sun, 03 May 2020 20:26:50 +0000

This week on the Campaign Trail, I’m sharing a new roguish archetype that I created for a weird west/fantasy mix campaign I am planning to run later this year. Rogues use skill, stealth, and precision over brute force to overcome most challenges. Their focus on being cunning and nimble is well suited to surviving the dangers found out on the frontier. Design Notes: I thought it would be interesting to create a weird west character who relies on supernatural luck […]

Way of the Pugilist – Monk Tradition for D&D 5e

Shawn Ellsworth — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 21:16:16 +0000

Monks channel ki, the magical energy that flows through all living bodies. In combination with martial training, ki can be harnessed to far exceed the capabilities of their physical body. I thought it would be interesting to create an old-timey boxer who fights with their bare-knuckles rather than gloves or a monk weapon, channeling ki to outfight and outlast their opponents. This is a playtest ready subclass for monks that is available for everyone to try out. Let us know […]
