Hey all!
Was having some fun looking at the Armsman Class I put together a month or so ago and it inspired me to cook up a new class - THE SLAYER (which is definitely NOT an Alt Barbarian update play test...?)
Not committing to anything here becoming "official", but let me know what you think of the new mechanics for the SLAYER!
Hey all!
If everything goes according to plan (fingers crossed) then I should be releasing the Alternate Wizard publicly sometime in the next week! Before I do, I wanted to get your thoughts on which of the following ideas I should include as the first Patron-exclusive Arcane Tradition
Vote for as many (or as few) as you'd like to see! 24-hours on the clock, and the winner is a LOCK for the initial release of the Alternate Wizard Class v1.0!<...

Hi all!
Following up on my Alternate Sorcerer Class update from last week, I have a pretty large update for my Alternate Sorcerer: Expanded Compendium!

Hey all!
Here today with what ended up being a rather large update for my Alternate Sorcerer class! For those unfamiliar with the project, the goal of the Alternate Sorcerer was always to bring the Mechanics of the class in-line with the Fantasy of playing a living battery of arcane power.
The main way this is done it through a (heavily) modified version of the Spell Point Variant from the Dungeon Master’s Guide, combined with limited spell slots of 6th+ level. Combined wi...

The Alternate Sorcerer update is about to drop, but I wanted to share the updates to the new slate of Patron-exclusive Alternate Sorcerer Origins: Astral, Frost, and Mystic Sorcery.

Been working on the 4.0 version of the Alternate Sorcerer behind the scenes for a few weeks now, and I thought it'd be fun to show you one of the subclasses that's getting a major update:
FLAME SORCERY!
The subclass formerly known as the Emberheart has been reworked to focus on what everyone always wanted it to be - the ultimate fire-themed blast...
Hey all!
I made a few small (but impactful) changes to the Alternate Wizard Class this past week, and I thought I'd share them out to get a feel for what everyone thinks. I also corrected a few mistakes with the Wizard Spell List (repeat spells, wrong levels, etc).
Proficiencies // Tools // Added Calligrapher's Supplies here (instead of Spell Scrivener).
Arcanist // Renamed (Student of the Arcane)
Spellcasting // Mastered ...

In order to more easily manage access to the Patreon Google Drive, I'll be using Google Groups. Nothing should change on your end, but if you change your access level you'll be switched to a different Google Group for that tier.
You should receive an email from Google Groups at some point today inviting you to join. To access the Google Drive, join the group, then follow the link to the Google Drive.

Hey all!
I think it's about time for another Alternate Wizard update - this time it includes all 20 levels of the class! Not a ton of major changes this time around as most of my focus was building out levels 11 through 20 in a consistent way, and making some updates to 6th-level+ spells.
As always (especially with this play test class) your feedback is encouraged! Let me know what you think in the comments here, or stop by the 2024-09-01 01:32:55 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey @everyone! Just pushed a small update to my Spell Compendium. Mainly some small updates to Psion spells, a few Cantrips, and some spells in preparation for the Alternate Wizard.
What spells still need a rework in your opinion? Let me know in the comments and I'll add them to my list of "to-do's"!
Check out the (small) change log below!

Hey all,
Been doing a lot of thinking about how my "Exploit Classes" work and I wanted to show you a few ideas I'd been kicking around for my "Totally not Fighter Class". No commitment to making any of these official, just thought you might like to see some of my mad behind the scenes musings!

Hello all!
Today I’ve got a major overhaul/update for my Alternate Bard Class. As with all my “Alternate Classes” my goal is to make the mechanics more accurately match the fantasy of that particular class, and the Bard is no different!
I’ve opted to make the Bard a ”half-caster” (maximum of 5th-level spells) to make “room” in its power budget for more thematic Bard features. Removing full spellcasting progression has a...

Been awhile, since I’ve shared my progress on the Alternate Wizard Class, and I wanted to update you on some changes I’ve made since the preview I posted.

Been working behind the scenes on some spell updates for my Spell Compendium. I think most of the changes are self-explanatory if you’ve used these spells, but I’ll share some of my thought process.

Hey all!
Been silent for a bit as I've been working on an update for my next original class - The Shifter!
The premise of this class is simple - "What if Wild Shape had a class built around it?"
The shapeshifter/beastman archetype has always been a favorite of mine in media, but in 5e, I feel like the Druid class has too much of its power tied up in full progression spellcasting to truly explore the shapeshifter archetype - thus the Shifter...
