Martial Masteries: Rogue (New sneak attack, expertise, evasion and more!)

DOWNLOAD HERE

The fan favorite of edge-lords and wanna-be assassins everywhere, Rogue is finally getting the martial mastery treatment after far too long (my bad) without an update on this compendium!

50 new masteries are provided (in the Class Features section), spanning Sneak Attack, Expertise (one for every Rogue skill + Thieve's Tools), Evasion, Uncanny Dodge, and a few of the highest level features as well.... oh, and even one for Thieve's Cant!

Enjoy <3

Feedback and playtesting notes are invaluable, so please share if you have any!

Early Access! Mythmaker's Grimoire: Archmage Edition (Tavern Regular+)(PHB 2024 Compatible)

View Here (Tavern Regular Tier+ Required)

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals <3

Been working on this project for a few months. It includes many new spells as well as remastered ones from previous grimoire editions. Some of these remastered spells received very minor wording changes, but most of them are significant reworks or ground-up reworks.

I think these changes massively streamline and simplify my old works, making them much more fun and accessible.

This version includes 61 spells. My goal is to make this the master collection of my best homebrew, refined and ready for One D&D campaigns).

Feedback always welcome!

Spell Masteries 3.0: The Paladin Update (60 new masteries, PDF and Spreadsheet)

DOWNLOAD HERE

Not a hope, not a promise... AN OATH.

My paladin oath is the Oath of the Obsessed because I think of new masteries in the shower, on the way to work, and even in the middle of my dreams (yes, I wake up and write them down)...

This update, I focused on Paladin. Unfortunately most of Paladin's spells are not SRD, which makes this tricky. I did write about a dozen masteries for some of those non-SRD spells, although none for the smites (since they already have Generic masteries in the PDF which can apply to any smite spell).

Divine Favor got 19 new masteries so I guess you could say I went a little crazy catering that spell to different playstyles... even getting so specific as to have unique benefits for underused weapons like Sickles, Light Hammers, and Spears.

I also integrated a number of paladin class features in the masteries to give extra class synergy. Lay on Hands, Channel Divinity, Divine Sense, among others.

Hope you enjoy the update! <3

New Origins Enhanced Race Poll

In addition to a small spell mastery update and 3 new Halfling lineages (Crookstump, Greenthumb, and Huntborne) I will also add one new race to Origins Enhanced.

Vote for your favorite below! One vote per patron :)

Short poll duration so I can start working ASAP while I have a long weekend!

Origins Enhanced Update: Bogwogs (Amphibians), Carapids (Insectoids), 11 new lineages

Had a ton of fun designing the new race options for this update! Frog-folk and insectoids are some of my favorites to play as PCs and run as NPCs. Valor dwarfs add a cool viking/roman twist to the classic race. Cave elves are a creepy new option with no eyes, inspired by Falmer from Elder Scrolls as well as various other fictions.

Feedback invited and appreciated!

Dwarf

• Valor

Elf

• Cave

Bogwog

• Bully

• Crested

• Dartling

• Newtoid

Carapid

• Etherean

• Mantis

Auguries Arcana Update: New Spells + Masteries

DOWNLOAD HERE ⭐️ (Tavern Regular tier & higher)

Enjoy some arcane secrets with 4 new homebrew spells that are a bit less niche than some of my work, offering core tools for certain caster themes. The main reason for these spells is A) to have better options for these themes and B) so I can add masteries to such spells. For example, Thunderburst mostly exists because Thunderclap isn't SRD and also it isn't a great spell anyway.

Hope you enjoy!

Two New Subclasses: Wildsong Bard & Copycat Rogue (Subclass Compendium Update - Patron Exclusive)

Click Here For PDF Download (Subclass Compendium) 

Wanted to make sure you lovely patrons got some fun, exclusive content for Oct/Nov, since most of the mastery content I was able to cook up had to be released for free due to SRD limitations. SO here are two new subclasses that I'm quite excited to share.

The first, Bard Wildsong, has been in the works for awhile and is finally in a place I feel confident publishing it. The second, Copycat Rogue, is a newer idea that came in a rush of inspiration.

As with most subclasses I write, you'll notice a modular design, you choose features from a list of options. I like to design this way as it makes the subclass feel more customizable and interesting, sort of replicating how spellcasters get to choose their spells. 

Playtesting & Feedback

I would love to hear how it goes if you playtest these subclasses! I try to test my subclasses as much as possible whenever I DM by encouraging my players to use them, but I can only run so many games. Please reach out via discord, patreon, or email: mythmakergm@gmail.com if you have any playtesting feedback to share

Free Spell Mastery Compendium (Non-SRD) - 100+ masteries for PHB, XGE, TCE (0-1st level)

DOWNLOAD PDF HERE

Spreadsheet Here (Free Masteries Only) 

As the design space for SRD masteries begins to narrow (we're nearly at 2000) I've decided to jump over to some of the other 5e spells. 

Note To Patrons

Non-SRD spell masteries must be released as free homebrew for legal reasons, but this wouldn't be possible without the support of patrons. A huge thank you to those who stick with me! Some months may be a bit more barren occasionally, while others get 100+ pages of content. I'm not a machine (as much as I try), and I'm just a one man team, so I appreciate the grace given and the continuous support.

I have added the free mastery spreadsheet tab to the patron-exclusive mastery spreadsheet, just for convenience as well (to have them all in one place).

5 new prehistoric spells:

• Extinction Event (8th level)

Thank you for your patience with this one! I wanted to get this released much sooner, but a lot of obstacles in life prevented that from happening, and I didn't want to prematurely release something that isn't up to my quality standard.

Apologies for the delayed post. Put in 10 hours today getting this thing finalized!

This turned out to be another massive compendium full of content that, frankly, has been years in the making through various campaigns and iterations of my character creation overhaul concepts.

I hope this gets you excited to make some new characters or perhaps even revise your existing ones within this system to have more interesting race and background traits true to your character vision.

Spreadsheet

The racial traits can be found in an easy-to-browse spreadsheet for your viewing convenience. Although you can't directly edit the source sheet, feel free to make a copy in your own google drive!

Dragonsoul FREE Spells PDF Download

DOWNLOAD HERE 

This FREE PDF includes 12 dragonsoul spells. As voted in the patreon poll, I've released the Obsidian dragon and White dragon collection.

As a bonus, I've also included a feat for gaining some of these spells from the full compendium.

Want More?

The full Dragonsoul class is now available to Demiplane level patrons. Check it out here.

Free Dragonsoul Spells Poll

This month's Demiplane release ($8+ patrons) is a brand new class, the Dragonsoul. I've also written 91 new Draconic spells for the class: 6 spells (one cantrip-5th) for every major chromatic, metallic, and gem dragon heritage, plus one special 9th level spell.

These spells are a bit more powerful than normal spells, but are normally only available to Dragonsouls. However, they can be given to other classes as special GM rewards (for example, a magic item or boon could grant a character access to the spell, or a special spellbook could allow a wizard to add it to their own)

While the full Dragonsoul grimoire will be exclusive to the Demiplane release, I want to share some of the spells with everyone.

Vote in this poll to decide which Draconic Heritage gets released for free! I'll share the top two for everyone to see. That's 12 free spells!

Epic Origins: Intro & Submit Your Requests (Patrons Only)

The poll for this month's theme is leaning heavily towards the Epic Origins compendium, which will include new races, a racial traits system, and some alternate background rules.

Racial Trait System

I've been working on a racial traits system for awhile and testing it in my home game, so that's very close to ready to go. Just needs to be cleaned up a bit.

It's a point buy system somewhat similar to Stellaris, for any who have played that game. There are already over 100 features.

New Races

I've also got a pretty huge chunk of custom races from my personal homebrew settings that I'll be revising for public use.

Alternate Races/Subraces

I've reworked some of the official races (SRD ones) to be compatible with my racial trait system, and I've included alternate versions of some races (such as elves and dwarves) with alternate subraces.

Submit Your Requests

I want to give you guys a chance to submit some requests for new races or subraces for existing ones. Even if these races have been done before, I can create my own version that is compatible with my custom racial traits system.

I'm not going to make any promises that I will fulfill all your requests. Time and inspiration are the limiting factors here. If I have enough ideas for a request and time to fill, I'll give it my best shot.

Drop your requests in the comments below, or in the discord channel!

September Themed Compendium Vote

It's been awhile since we've done a themed compendium, so let's mix things up a bit.

This compendium will be available to patrons of all tiers. Compendiums include a mix of new content, typically involving spells, creatures, and other misc brews.

Epic Origins

New races, a racial trait system, and better background options

Secrets of the Shrooms

Fungus are among us! Mushroom related content.

Starsailor's Guide to the Crystal Skies

Various spelljammer themed content

Spell Masteries 2.7 (+209 new masteries, Google Sheets Archive)

DOWNLOAD HERE (PDF and Spreadsheet)

A ton of fun masteries in this one, our biggest update yet in terms of pure # of masteries added.

In addition, a huge quality of life update is now available in the form a spell masteries spreadsheet!

This spreadsheet should make sorting through masteries MUCH easier. For now, you can filter by spell, level, theme, and infusion type. You can also view 2.7 masteries isolated from the master sheet. I'll be adding more data to the spreadsheet over time, including schools of magic, classes, etc. If you have ideas for additional features or ways to make the spreadsheet more user-friendly, please let me know!

August Content Preview

Here's what I've got planned for August:

Tavern Release (all tiers): Another Spell Mastery update with a hefty chunk of new content + a new master spreadsheet which you can use to more easily filter and browse the nearly 1500 basic spell masteries

Early Access: The first PDF version of Mythmaker's Grimoire Volume 4 in full. Over 100 spells, some never before seen, some from previous early access or free releases. 

The new grimoire will remain in early access for a little while. No exact time frame decided, but probably 2-3 months as I wrap up a master grimoire that will combine the existing volumes, plus this new one, into one larger, more refined compendium. I'm still working details out, input is very welcome!

Demiplane: Content poll for qualifying patrons incoming! Going to take a break from masteries for this month's demiplane release just to get some creative refreshment.

Spell Mastery Update 2.6 (+100 masteries, Sorcerer subclass, major class features for 4 classes, 6 feats, and more!)

PATRONS ONLY: DOWNLOAD HERE 

Welp, I went way overboard...

This update is our biggest yet overall. The compendium now totals over 112 pages. Hope you enjoy all the new content!

• 100 masteries
• Class Features: Spirit Guide (Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer)
• Sorcerer subclass: Weaveseeker
• 6 new feats
• 1 new material infusion
• 3 new theme collections

Mythic Martial Masteries (New Myth Knight Fighter Subclass & 50+ new mythic martial masteries, + feats and items)

DOWNLOAD HERE (See below)

!! Demiplane Exclusive Content !!

This content is exclusive to patrons at Demiplane tiers (Distinguished Guest $8 and higher). Patrons who were active at these tiers during June or May but no longer remain subscribed also have access to this content. If you have trouble downloading it, just reach out to me!

-----

I'm super excited to finally bring this project to you! Although it still has a long way to go in terms of fleshing out all the possible mythic martial mastery options, I think this is a very solid start and gives a lot to work with.

Myth Knight Fighter Subclass

Attune to the spirits of ancient heroes to utilize superior (and often supernatural) techniques in your fighting. Choose from 9 different mythic heroes, each with 4 unique traits.

The compendium also includes

• 50+ new mythic martial masteries
• 4 new feats
• 3 new item enchantments

While these numbers may look a little small compared to some of the spell mastery numbers I've been cranking out, just bear in mind that martial masteries are much more complicated to write (more-so to balance) and are a bit more limited thematically, even in the mythic category.

Martial Masteries 1.1 (+100 new masteries)

DOWNLOAD HERE (Tavern Regular and higher tier Patrons (active or June active))

100 new masteries were added in this update, including:

• Remaining Barbarian features

• Generic Racial features

Additional June Content Update:

Basic Martial Masteries update (including Fighter class features) and Mythic Martial Masteries are close by in the pipeline! 

These releases may not quite make it out before July 1st rolls around. I ended up making more content for this post than originally planned. But as always, those who cancelled from June will still be able to access these posts when they release. Cheers!
