Hey all,
Got a few small updates coming this week (hopefully), and the first is for the Magus: Expanded.
I've made a few small tweaks based on the feedback I got on the first version. Hopefully, you all like the changes. Let me know what you think over on Discord or in the comments here!

Hey all! Last month I completed my 100th @Archmage Tier Commission -
To celebrate (and keep things organized) I've created a Directory of every Archmage Commission to date. Check it out to see short descriptions of over 100 custom Magic Items, Player Races, Monsters, and Subclasses for official, original, and alternate classes!
The Directory is public, but only Archmage Tier Patrons can a...

Hello all! As I move through a pretty large wave of updates for my “half-caster” classes (Alt Ranger, Magus, Alt Paladin), I think enough time has passed to do an update for my Alternate Paladin Class.
This class is still relatively early in its development, so I’m eager to hear what you all think of this latest version. Let me know in the comments!
ALTERNATE PALADIN v2.0.0

Hi all! The long speculated and (recently) anticipated public release of the Magus: Expanded is finally upon us! Included in this expansive Compendium of options for my Magus Class are five Fighting Styles new to the Magus, two Alternate Feats, one new Feat, and six Esoteric Orders!
As always, let me know what you think in the comments or drop by Discord!

Work on the Magus: Expanded is officially underway, but I thought it would be a good idea to do one more pass over the Magus Class itself before I release it.
Version 4.1 of my Magus Class is mostly the same, barring a few small (but impactful) changes to the class. The biggest of these are Spellstrike and the Order of Arcanists.

Hey all - with the latest update for my Magus Class, now is as good a time as any to begin work on a Magus: Expanded! What sort of subclass themes would you like to see covered?
Same rules as usual - everyone gets one vote, top choice is guaranteed to be in!
Feel free to leave other suggestions for Magus: Expanded in the comments below.

Order of the Aurora and Order of Crimson Knights
CHANGELOG:
Aurora // Rimeguard // “Frost” renamed to “Rime Charges”.
Aurora // Greater Rimeguard // Renamed (Aegis of the Aurora) and reworked.
Crimson Knight // Blood Magic // Last clause now works with Spellstrike.

The 4.0 update for my Magus Class brings some pretty sweeping changes to bring it in-line with my Alternate Paladin and Alternate Ranger, while also helping to establish the Magus with its own unique identity among the half-caster classes.
Let me know what you think of the update in the comments below, on the Reddit post, or over on the Discord server!
Enjoy!

Hey all! Inspired by a great conversation around the "Blade Cantrips" over on Discord today, I thought it would be fun to come up with cantrips for the other elemental damage types.
So, here we have six new cantrips!
I'm not sure if these will ever become "official" in the sense that I include them in any of my public-facing documents, but I thought my Patrons would enjoy this insight into spell design!
Let me know what you think in the comments - Peace!

Hey all!
I've got something exciting and (technically) new for you today! The public release of my Spell Compendium! Right now, it includes both the NEW and ALTERNATE versions of official spells gathered from my various homebrew classes and documents - all in one place!
There are a few NEW spells appearing here that haven't shown up (yet) in my homebrew:

Hi All!
I've gotten a lot of great feedback on the most recent updates to the Alternate Ranger Class and the Alternate Ranger: Expanded, so I thought I would do one final pass through to make a few small tweaks before I move on to the next project. Nothing major - change log is below.
PDFs are below and have been updated on GM Binder and the Patron Google Drive!
Happy Hunting!

Hey all!
Attached below is the Oath of the Righteous Fist, the first Patron-exclusive Sacred Oath for my Alternate Paladin class. Moving the Sacred Oath to 1st level allows for some fun things - like giving a Paladin their own special version of Unarmored Defense and Martial Arts!
I hope you like the subclass, let me know what you think.
As always, thank you for your support!

Hey all, today I’m excited to bring you the public release of the ALTERNATE PALADIN!
For those unfamiliar with my Alternate Classes, the goal is for the mechanics of the class to better match the fantasy (ie: expectations vs. reality of play), and bring the classes of 5e into better balance with each other. The goal for the Paladin has been no different!
Unlike a lot of the other classes I’ve worked on, the Paladin is pretty well balanced all things c...

Hey all, I wanted to share out two bonus Occult Orders that I created over the last few months as rewards for Archmage Patrons. Full disclosure - these subclasses are "made to order" so flavor and mechanics are pretty specific (at the request of the Patron).
Order of Reapers:
Enter into a cult of death and wiled the power of Death itself against your foes!
Order of Hellfire:
Sell your soul to the hells in return for infernal power!
Hey all - I got a ton of really great feedback on my last Alpha version of the Alternate Paladin, so I decided to go ahead and make some changes while the iron was hot! Let me know what you think in the comments below or over on Discord!

Hey all, been kicking the idea of this class around in the back of my head for a while now, so I thought it was time to put some of my thoughts down on "paper" and see what people think!
WHAT IF WILD SHAPE WAS AN ENTIRE CLASS?
I know this isn't exactly a new concept (and I think one of the Pathfinders has a Shapeshifter class), but I wanted to try my hand at one of my favorite character fantasies within the bounds of Dungeons & Dragons 5e...

Hey all, I wanted to push one more update for my Alternate Warlock before I moved on to other projects (Alternate Paladin? Player Races? A totally new class? Who knows!). For those unfamiliar with my Alternate Warlock, and my Alternate Classes in general, the goal is to bring the mechanics of the Warlock in-line with the fantasy of playing the class.
I also want every option to be equally “viable” in game. If one option is clearly better then the others, th...

As promised, here is the Alternate Oath of the Blade, a reworked version of my Oath of the Blade for the Player's Handbook Paladin class that uses my system of Martial Exploits in place of the Battle Master Fighter's Maneuvers.

Happy Sunday all! After Two Years I’ve finally gotten around to updating my Compendium of Paladin Sacred Oaths! The options here are all meant to be used with the Paladin class as presented in the Player’s Handbook.
Though, an Alternate Paladin Class is currently in development!

Hey All - with the Alternate Warlock v2.0.0 comes an update to the Patreon-exclusive:

Hey all, been working on the Alternate Paladin on and off in the background between the Exploit Classes and Savant updates, and I thought it would be a good time to show you another preview! As always, let me know what you think here or on Discord!
Remember, this is a Work-in-progress so nothing is finalized! All my stuff goes through a ton of iterations before it gets a public release (or even a Beta version).
~laserllama
Hey all, with the Savant update in the rearview mirror, I was wondering what you all would like to see updated next! I'm purposefully limiting it to options that either (1) haven't been updated in a while, or (2) are relatively new creations by me.
Vote for as many options as you want, but the poll will only be live for 24 hours!
