Is your bard brimming with charisma and looking to specialize in fierce and fabulous in a way that just isn’t available to you in the standard bard colleges? Well, I may have just the homebrew subclass for you. Your character could have a magical animal companion and guide, a sparkly transformation sequence (that gives you armor boosts), thirteen bespoke spells, and the themed wands of your dreams. This 5e half-caster class is based on blood magic, wielded in martial combat to amplify ones strikes and negate damage. Despite what the name suggests, Dark Knights are not always despicable in nature. You can still use this if you wish, but, heres a hotlink. NOTE(2): There is a rework of Dark Knight. If you have a complaint, take it up with the Bando man. I’ve seen a few options for making your average magical girl within D&D, and there is no wrong way to enjoy your TTRPGs, but the Magic Moon Sorcerer is my personal favorite. Enter the Atavist class, by Reddit user SwordMeow. NOTE: This is an edit of a D&D 5e homebrew class that is currently unfinished, and does not appear like it ever will be finished. What if instead you could actually dig up dinosaur bones… and resurrect them?! This homebrew class lets you pick from the Plunderer, Lore Master, or “dead raising Paleontologist” specializations for a combination of scholar, explorer, fighter, and maybe a touch of necromancy. ArchaeologistĪrchaeologist is a background that you can pick for your character currently in 5E, but it hasn’t added much to my character personally besides a half-decent argument for advantage on a few rolls.

Princess varieties include Fairy Tale, Warrior, and Noble and, honestly, all make me wish I’d known about this homebrew before I’d made any of my last three D&D characters.

Combining the musically powered, animal befriending charm you would expect of a Disney princess, and the diplomacy and leadership of Leia (also technically a Disney princess), this class allows for you to make a character with poise and elegance and who definitely doesn’t need to be rescued. PrincessĬreated by Reddit user impersonater, the Princess class is a little different from any I’ve seen before. If you’re looking to bring a little something special to your campaign, these classes and subclasses might just hit the bulls-eye. Sure, the book’s guidelines are wonderful and they’re there for a reason, but house rules and specialty characters, weapons, and locations always make the game feel more fleshed out and unique. Swordmage and warlord both fill niches as an arcane half caster and strategist martial class respectively. I love a well-implemented homebrew element in my tabletop games. But don’t you sometimes wish you could play something a little more out there? The standard D&D classes are fine I’d even call them great.
