One of the more interesting barbarian archetypes from Pathfinder was the "Mad Dog", a barbarian that has the animal companion feature of a druid of the same level. I'm a big fan of this archetype, so I figured I'd try and adopt it for 5e. I'll preface this by saying that I copied a lot… Continue reading Path of the Mad Dog (Primal Path)

Witch
The witch is a mystic that draws upon an inborn connection with the outer planes and an intelligent familiar. Much of this class is an attempt to create a counterpart to the warlock, a class with a similar casting style but unique flavor. I also took inspiration from the Pathfinder witch when it comes to… Continue reading Witch
Improving Channel Divinity
Overall, I feel like Channel Divinity is a rather well balanced ability. But one issue I have with it, and a lot of other abilities in 5e, is that they don't really scale based on ability scores. Instead, we simply get a flat three uses: once a 1st level, twice at 6th level, and thrice… Continue reading Improving Channel Divinity
Brawler (Martial Archetype)
The archetypal Brawler forgoes the use of heavy armor and weaponry for the various forms of unarmed combat. Versatile and agile, these fighters turn their bodies into their most valuable weapon. This is another Pathfinder-inspired subclass. The Brawler is basically what happens when you combine the martial arts of the monk with the combat prowess… Continue reading Brawler (Martial Archetype)
Thug (Roguish Archetype)
Some rogues prefer to eschew stealth and finesse, focusing instead on intimidation and brute force to get things done. This is my attempt to create an archetype that represents the common criminal one might find in an urban center. Some of the features will look familiar to fans of Pathfinder, but their effects are completely… Continue reading Thug (Roguish Archetype)
Bard (Prestige Class)
The bard is an inspiring musician that blends magic and song, inspiring her allies and mastering arcane lore. I've always been a fan of prestige classes, and so I present the bard here as a prestige class as an alternative take on how they may fit into a campaign. By presenting the bard as a… Continue reading Bard (Prestige Class)
Soulknife (Roguish Archetype)
Some rogues choose to hone their martial prowess through spiritual training, learning to channel the potent magic found in all living beings. These rogues gain the ability to channel their spirit into a magical blade known as a soulblade. The Soulknife was a psionic class in older versions of D&D. I've tried to reimagine it… Continue reading Soulknife (Roguish Archetype)
Sea Domain
The Sea Domain is concerned with all aspects of life on the seas. Gods of the seas are the patrons of ocean dwellers as well as sailors and fishermen. Clerics that dedicate themselves to the Sea Domain often live their lives as sailors, content to endlessly explore the sea.
