Tolling Blade [LINKS]
Weapon (any sword or polearm), very rare (requires attunement by a cleric or paladin)
As the evil spirits descended upon them, the haggard party braced for their eldritch onslaught. A sudden chime rang out from their flank, originating from a whirling figure. Waves of resonant magic erupted from the robed stranger’s blade, buffeting the ghouls with cleansing energy. The newcomer, a temple priest, spun in a ritual dance, cutting down the stunned spirits an...

2025-09-02 16:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostSplitting Fang [LINKS]
Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement)
The dragon reared, its chest engorged with blazing fire and flame. A moment later, it unleashed a searing inferno upon its newest challengers, eager to add them to the pile of charred bones that had begun to collect upon the floor of its lair. But as the smoke cleared, the silhouette of a warrior became clear, blade in hand; unscathed just like the rest of their companions. Incredulous, the dragon stepped ...

Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement)
A blade carved from a dragon’s fang, this weapon courses with elemental energy from deep within.
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, which deals an additional 1d6 damage on a hit of the same type as the elemental affinity of the dragon the fang used to create this weapon was taken from (i.e. Red; Fire, Blue; Lightning, etc.).

Weapon (shortsword), rare (requires attunement)
The guard yawned as he deposited the final confiscated items into storage. Just as he turned to close the door, a glinting blue flash caught his eyes. Peering back at the seemingly mundane feather placed amidst all forms of treasure and weaponry, he could have sworn he felt like it was watching him. Before his suspicions could be confirmed, the poor man felt numerous blades pierce his vitals. And as his assass...

Secluded Seekers of Wisdom
An enigmatic being forged by time and experience, the Parliament is an accumulation of history in tangible form. Armed with the memories of many lives past, these dragons use their vast knowledge to act as advisors to those in need, discriminating not between a king upon a throne or a vagrant upon the road.

2025-08-30 16:30:30 +0000 UTC View PostScale Husk
Armor (shield), rare (requires attunement)
The False Scale has a knack for absorbing draconic energy, and thus its remains can be quite useful when dealing with their greater cousins. Adventurers who harvest the intact shell of the dread mite can craft protective implements that absorb and protect against the elemental breath of dragons. Even in death, these comparably minuscule dragonkin can strike terror into the deadliest of wyrms.
Scale Husk
Armor (shield), rare (requires attunement)
A dormant husk of a False Scale, capable of absorbing the elemental properties wielded by Draconic creatures. You gain a +1 bonus to your AC while wielding this shield. This bonus increases to +2 against Dragons, and you gain an equivalent bonus to saving throws made against the abilities of Dragons.
Absorb. When you take Acid, Fire, Cold, Lightning, or Poison damage, or any damage dealt by a Dra...

Tenacious Parasites of Dragonkind
Few things are capable of unnerving a dragon as much as a False Scale, parasitic organisms that prey on their mightier draconic cousins for survival. Starting as tiny skittering mites, False Scales latch on to dragons while still in their adolescence, growing in size alongside their host at its expense. As they continue to feed and reproduce, their host becomes covered in white splotches as more and more False Scales replac...

Drawing upon the innumerable aspects of the natural world, druidic circles are widely varied across the lands. Yet none among them hold as much of a direct connection to the abundant trees and vegetation as those of the Circle of Flora. With hair like leaves and limbs like branches, these druids regard themselves as more plant than humanoid, ceding their flesh to bark and root as a show of devotion. Shifting into a twisting mass of vines when called to combat, they bring this most primal ...

Over the course of history, one fact remains clear: the moon protects. It wards those who bask in its light against evil, and reveals the true forms of tricksters and monsters so they may be thwarted or destroyed. When facing down against darkness, one need only seek shelter in its pale glow.

Hello Everyone!
Apologies for the late announcement. Things were a bit chaotic at the beginning of this month and afterwards we jumped right back into working. Thank you for your patience, and now we'd like to announce what's coming this month:
In D&D there are many subclasses to choose from, but we feel that within the breadth of options, there are some obvious holes. Many of the classes lack archetypes we feel are obvious avenues for design or themes within ...
