Subclass - Tumblr Posts
Artificer Specialist: Doll Master
The Doll Master focuses on maintaining and commanding several dolls to support your allies and control the battlefield, with a minor emphasis on controlling and debilitating spells. If it’s not clear enough from the art, this subclass was heavily inspired by Alice Margatroid from the Touhou series.

Updated Commission Information
It’s been some time since I posted my original commission sheet, and a lot of the info there is outdated. Since the above is an image file and not the PDF, I’ve included links below if you want to see examples of my work (the ‘+’s are links to additional examples):

New Subclasses: Path of the Rageborn (Barbarian) and Way of the Long Stride (Monk)
These two subclasses are the result of a commission by Constructio.
The goal for the Path of the Rageborn was to double-down on the Barbarian’s aggression and recklessness. To that end, its features encourage raging early and attacking often. If the Path of the Berserker appeals to you but you want a change of pace, the Path of the Rageborn might be for you.
The goal for the Way of the Long Stride was the Monk, but Faster. More to the point, the comissioner wanted to emulate The Flash to an extent. This is mostly done by rewarding the monk’s mobility rather than enhancing it. If you want to use your mobility for aggression, the Way of the Long Stride is for you.

October Brew Fest: Week 0
This is the last post for the brew festival warmup week, and as classic as it gets for my content: The Chronomancer origin was the first homebrew subclass I ever made, and one of the few I’ve gotten to play a character for! His name was Nabi, a Kenku who managed to escape the curse that stripped his people of their voice, but still had his mind ravaged and his wings taken. Anyway, onto the bits you might care about, I’ve updated this a small bit. Primarily, I replaced an old text box with some weak advice about handling time travel, and replaced it with explanations of what I mean by ‘Temporal Anchor’ and what abilities can interact with the Dislodge Temporal Anchor feature. It’s not much- really, to support using this in more interesting ways, I’d need to brew up some spells. If there’s interest for this subclass, I might brew some up when the festival is over.
Everybody wants to time travel, right? The Chronomancer makes this possible, at least in the short term, for your local 5th edition sorcerer.

The Leviathan patron should appeal to seadwelling spellcasters who want to double down on their theme and land-dwellers looking to take a plunge into the depths alike.
Crush your opponents with the weight of the oceans, plunge them into its darkness, and when they know longer know how to raise a hand against you- strike them down. If the Tumblr wrecks the document, or you just want a PDF, click through this link!

Week 1: Titanic Beasts
These druids may work with beasts substantially more subtle than the druids you’ll meet tomorrow, but we’re finishing off this week’s classic brews with the Circle of the Emissary Druid.
Fun fact about this one, I made it for my lovely wife who always plays druids and loves animal friends- and she’s never once played it in a real game! Turns out she likes fire better than animal friends. (Wildfire druids are pretty cool, in fairness). Anyway, whether this druid circle is your speed or not, stick around for tomorrow’s content drop: The Circle of the Chimera and The Circle of the Titan, both of which utilize wild shape in new and exciting ways!
This one should please folks that miss the 3.5 era Druid! The Circle of the Emissary, drawing inspiration from the Beast Master Ranger, grants an animal companion whose combat prowess is nothing compared to their support skills!

So here’s one that’s been a thorn in my side for a while: The College of Masks, based on the 3.5 Master of Masks prestige class. I just couldn’t get those masks of power to feel right! Still, it seemed fitting for the season, so I whipped it into shape for today. This one, I’m going to hold back on calling done just yet- we’ll call it an anvil piece. Despite the recent revisions, I still think I can do better with those last two features, but I want it up in time for the season. Tomorrow, I’ll bring more monster statblocks to the table! Here’s the homebrewery link, in case tumblr kills the document.
Looking for something, Traveler?

Subclasses
Barbarian Path
Path of the Rageborn [Commission]- high risk, high reward. Rage early, rage often, and slay them before they can slay you.
Druid Circles
Chimera and Titan- shape into strange and titanic beasts!
Emissary- bring a helpful and intelligent animal companion along for your adventures!
Martial Archetypes
Combat Superiority Archetypes (and more)- if you like the Battle Master’s combat superiority, look no further: the Captain, Expunger, and Vanguard archetypes, as well as several new feats, open the mechanic up to characters than ever.
Classic Martial Archetypes- the Bastion, Skirmisher, and Shock Trooper open up well-loved but difficult to execute combat styles!
Monastic Tradition
Way of the Long Stride [Commission]- leverage your exceptional speed to fell your foes.
Ranger Conclave
Trapper- utilize several unique trap designs to keep foes on their heels, then capitalize on the openings.
Roguish Archetypes
Sapper- deliver your sneak attacks through cunning improvised traps, and sabotage your foes’ every step.
Unseen Seer- Add a splash of divination magic to your toolkit, and pry secretys from even your most well protected foes.
Sorcerous Origin
Chronomancer- having been wrenched from your place in time, time now bends to your will.
Warlock Patron
Leviathan- a denizen of the deep isolates your foes and and lends its crushing power.
Wizard Traditions
Hedge Wizardry- practice strange, archaic forms of magic- and lean into some pop-culture witch aesthetics.
School of the Arc- combine the precision of the bow with the raw power of magic.
Races
Humans, Expanded- give humans an identity with five subraces to choose from!
Merfolk- slip below the waves with three subraces of merfolk, from the familiar coastal merfolk to the otherworldly deep merfolk.
Player Advice Articles are Below the Cut
Conversion Kits
The Arcane Sapper- utilize your Familiar and Glyph of Warding to tip encounters before initiative is rolled.
The Assassin- master the art of the ambush for any class or fighting style.
The Battlemaster- develop a unique martial style and enhance your attack routines.
The Dirty Fighter- utilize improvised weapons and unarmed strikes to become truly unpredictable.
The Spellsword- blend cantrips and weapons into a cohesive and threatening style.
Week 0- Preparation The Chronomancer- Spell update!
The Chronomancer Sorcerous Origin has been a pet project of mine for quite some time. It was the subclass that got me into homebrewing, and one of the first to go up on this blog. A long time ago I noted that to truly bring out the subclass’ potential, I’d need to brew up a suite of time based spells. And, well, since I was brewing time based spells... I thought I’d add some advice on running time travel. None of its groundbreaking- the most useful bit is probably the section about agreeing on what happens when time breaks (and if it can break in the first place). This one has balooned far beyond its original scope- something bordering on a supplement more than a single subclass. I hope you all enjoy! I stayed up far too late hammering out the details on this one.

I'M ALIVE
About time I post something D&D related, for those who still follow me. And ohboy do I got something juicy for you.
After 2 months of work, I'm proud to present, the Hemonomicon!
It was meant to be released by halloween, but it got delayed 😅
A huge expansion to blood magic, fist introduced by MAtt Mercer's Blood Hunter, and expanded here
It includes a lot of stuff! And its all for just 5 dollars! You can get it on DMsGuild or by joining my patreon on the 5+ dollar tier, whatever you prefer.
The Blood Mage class, which I already showed here, but fixed a few things since then, and you can also check out the 2 hemotypes locked behind my patreon by buying this. Also it has better pics and formatting now.
2 new races, The Svinos, a monstrous race of pigmen, and the Redcaps, who can give up their murderous tendencies in order to become members of society.
8 new subclasses, 4 of which are for the Blood Hunter, here are 2 of them, the Path of Osteomancy for Barbarian, and the Order of the Holiest for the Blood Hunter!
And that's not all! It includes 2 subraces: The Brudarum Elf (because an elf race is obviously mandatory) and the Hemogoblin. On top of dozens of spells, feats, magic items, and even blood curses.
I hope you like it, it was a lot of work.
The two sides of Sakuya Watanuki~ I really can’t choose between his Yandere mood or his… maid form?XD I love both of them! @crazyanime3,
