D&D 5e Homebrew Compendium

[Ninja_Prawn]

Oh, you know me. Everpresent.

But man, there sure is a lot of 5e homebrew being churned out these days. I don't have time to read even half of it...

[Twelvetrees]

Update should be coming within the next few days. I've got quite a backlog of links to go through.

dragontaurs

History

dragontaurs were created when a group of dragonborn happened upon a cursed relic made by centaurs left for humans who had been attempting to slay them.
The centaurs in question either left or were wiped out by disease, so the relic sat there for many years before the dragonborns found it. They carried it to their town,
whereupon the relic mutated each and every one of the dragonborns into creatures resembling centaurs but with the upper half of an dragonborn rather than that of a human, and so the race of dragontaurs was created.

destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines
the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
When you use your breath w eapon, each creature in
the area o f the exhalation must make a saving throw,

your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A
creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half
as much damage on a successful one. The damage
increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6

Spoiler: Kitsune

Show

Kitsune, or fox folk, are vulpine shapeshifters known for their love of both trickery and art.
Kitsune possess two forms: that of an attractive human of slender build with salient eyes, and their true form of an anthropomorphic fox.
Despite an irrepressible penchant for deception, kitsune prize loyalty and make true companions.
They delight in the arts, particularly riddles and storytelling, and settle in ancestral clans, taking their wisdom from both the living and spirits.

Quick-witted and nimble, kitsune make excellent bards and rogues. It is not uncommon for one to pursue sorcery, while those few born with white fur
and pale eyes usually become oracles.

Physical Description: A kitsune has two forms—a single human form and its true form, that of a humanoid fox. In their human forms,
kitsune tend toward quickness and lithe beauty. In all forms they possess golden, amber, or brilliant blue eyes. In their true forms,
they are covered with a downy coat of auburn fur, although more exotic coloration is possible.

Society: Kitsune society is enigmatic, as kitsune prize loyalty among their friends but delight in good-natured mischief and trickery.
Kitsune take pleasure in the pursuit of creative arts and in all forms of competition, especially the telling of stories interwoven with tall tales
and falsehoods.

Relations: Kitsune deal well with elves and samsarans, but their reputation as tricksters follows them when they interact with other races.
Many kitsune, particularly those who dwell in mixed-race societies, choose to hide their true natures and pose as humans in public.

Alignment and Religion: Kitsune tend to be neutral, or of alignments with a neutral component. Most kitsune worship the goddess of craftsmanship.

Adventurers: Keenly interested in adding their own names to the myths and legends of explorers and heroes of old, Kitsune adventurers range across the world.

Female Names: Ayaki, Jiyoki, Kyomi, Miyaro, Shinyai, Yulai

Male Names: Chankotu, Imhakaru, Kyrsaku, Namkitu, Yanyeeku
Standard Racial Traits

Ability Score Racial Traits: Kitsune are agile and companionable, but tend to be physically weak. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma, and –2 Strength.
Size: Kitsune are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Type: Kitsune are humanoids with the kitsune and shapechanger subtypes.
Base Speed: Kitsune have a base speed of 30 feet.
Languages: Kitsune begin play speaking Common and Sylvan. Kitsune with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following:
any human language, Aklo, Celestial, Elven, Gnome, and Tengu. See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.

Feat and Skill Racial Traits

Agile (Ex) Kitsune receive a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks.

Magical Racial Traits

Change Shape (Su) A kitsune can assume the appearance of a specific single human form of the same sex. The kitsune always takes this specific form
when she uses this ability. A kitsune in human form cannot use her bite attack, but gains a +2 racial bonus on Disguise checks made to appear human.
Changing shape is a standard action. This ability otherwise functions as alter self, except that the kitsune does not adjust her ability scores
and can remain in this form indefinitely.
Kitsune Magic (Ex/Sp): Kitsune add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against enchantment spells that they cast.
Kitsune with a Charisma score of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like ability: 3/day—dancing lights (caster level equals the kitsune's level)

Offense Racial Traits

Natural Weapons (Ex) In her natural form, a kitsune has a bite attack that deals 1d4 points of damage.

Senses Racial Traits

Low-Light Vision: Kitsune can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.

Alternate Racial Traits

The following alternate racial traits may be selected in place of one or more of the standard racial traits above.
Consult your GM before selecting any of these new options.

Duplicitous: Many kitsune prefer to avoid the attention they often attract from human neighbors and attempt to convince all around them
that they are human. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Bluff and Disguise checks. This racial trait replaces kitsune magic. Source PCS:ISR
Fast Shifter (Su) You were born with an innate talent for switching between your natural forms. Using your racial change shape ability
is a move action instead of a standard action. This racial trait replaces kitsune magic.
Gregarious (Ex) Even among your own kind, your gift for making friends stands out. Whenever you successfully use Diplomacy to win over
an individual, that creature takes a –2 penalty to resist any of your Charisma-based skill checks for the next 24 hours. This racial trait replaces agile.





Dancing Lights

School evocation
CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
EFFECT

Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect Up to four lights, all within a 10-ft.-radius area
Duration 1 minute (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no


DESCRIPTION

Depending on the version selected, you create up to four lights that resemble lanterns or torches (and cast that amount of light),
or up to four glowing spheres of light (which look like will-o'-wisps), or one faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape.
The dancing lights must stay within a 10-foot-radius area in relation to each other but otherwise move as you desire (no concentration required):
forward or back, up or down, straight or turning corners, or the like. The lights can move up to 100 feet per round.
A light winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range.

You can only have one dancing lights spell active at any one time. If you cast this spell while another casting is still in effect,
the previous casting is dispelled. If you make this spell permanent, it does not count against this limit.

Dancing lights can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

First off, these should have their own thread. Second of all:

Dragontaurs are Dragonborn. Except with a 40' move speed. Overpowered, nerf it.

Dwerlf is weirdly named, but seems fine from a balance point of view.

Kitsune are OP. Strength is a safe dump stat, and they gain bonuses to two power stats. In addition... This just seems like a poorly converted 3.5 race. It uses a lot of language that 5E doesn't, references things that don't exist in 5E, just... Needs a LOT of work.

I love it when you critique the crap out of peoples.

[JNAProductions]

I really should learn the muscius scale, so I can critique people with NUMBERS! But as it stands, I've got a reasonably good gut feeling when it comes to balancing, so I just rely on that.

True, but learning the scale would be beneficial to you, not just for your berating of others but also for yourself as well

To borrow a term I've come to love: Jumpin' Jehoshaphat on a pogo stick!

Damn good compendium!! I'm bookmarking this for sure, and it should definitely be stickied.

Also, I would be honored if you included my Death Knight and Lycan in the Class/Race areas!

[DreamingGod05]

If you could add my Zerg class, and Swarmlord prestige class.

Nice job, homebrewers.

Cool beans! I have to say, most of this stuff is GOLD, can't wait to use it in my campaigns, thanks for putting this all together!

Here's a custom class for DnD 5e

Runecaster
A spellcaster that uses ancient Norse runes to cast. Every time they cast they lose health depending on the power of the spell (Example: Somebody uses a rune and the spell they select is teleport) and runecasters' casting ability is constitution

Umm that's cool and all, but where's the link to the class? There's no link presented, seems like a neat idea, but I'd have to see the mechanics of itself before I can make any form of judgment.

Plus, like, we have a new thread now. This one's been dead for aaaaages.

[Neptunas123]

RAGE 2 is bloody awesome, so awesome that I even decided to write a little blog about it! Rather than reviewing some of its shortcomings, I decided to focus on the in-game stuff that surely brings tons of bloody awesomeness into your play.

My first focus was on Weapons, and if you'd like to check every single available toy of death on this godforsaken wasteland, here's the link to my blog!

I'll also put out a few more of these in the upcoming days, one on the in-game characters and factions, and the other on the array of skills that enhance the action sequences even further!

Waiting for your feedback, and hope you'll enjoy the read! <3
