Hey all, I've been kicking the idea of a non-magical, Exploit-user, Ranger Class around for a while now, so I thought I'd actually sit down and give it a shot. Just keep in mind that this isn't that different from my Alternate Ranger!
(Obviously) this is a BETA version so constructive feedback is welcome!
Eventually, I think I'd like to create some exclusive classes for each tier of my Patrons - what do you all think of that?

No matter the Holiday you choose to celebrate I hope that you and your families are having a wonderful holiday season filled with good food, good times, and if you are lucky, some good D&D!
Thank you for all your support this year - it has made a significant difference in the quality of life I've been able to provide my family!

Hey all, today I’d like to share an expansion for my Alternate Rogue Class - the Alternate Rogue: Expanded. Included here are a number of new Devious Exploits, a few New and Alternate Feats, and adjusted versions of Eight of my own Roguish Archetypes so they work with the Alternate Rogue.
As always, I’m open to any constructive criticisms you may have!

At long last I am able to post this massive compendium of expanded content for my Alternate Rogue Class! Included here are a number of new goodies:
Advanced Devious Exploits: Some of these are making appearances from other Alternate Martial classes, but the vast majority are NEW (and pretty cool IMO).
Roguish Feats: Again, some Alternate versions of official Feats, and a few new Feats that allow any character to add some Roguish flair to ...

Hey all, over the last few days I've been working on an "Expanded" document for my Alternate Rogue class. I've just finished the Exploits and Feats, so now on to the Roguish Archetypes!
While you wait for the final product, I thought it would be nice to drop a little preview of some of the new 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree Exploits!
Let me know what you think!

Renaming and Clarifications. Sneak Attack has been returned, with Cunning Strike becoming the name for your 11th level feature.

Hey everyone, today I’m posting something that I’ve been working on behind the scenes for a while now - The Vessel Class! This class is the first draft, so I am very interested to see what you all think! Is it wildly unbalanced? Is it comically underpowered? Check it out and let me know (please)!

Hey everyone, been a while since I've done one of these surveys! As I continue to work on the Vessel Class in the background, I was wondering what you all would like to see updated/released next!
I'm limiting the options to things that have not seen an update in the last 6 months. If I've missed something, let me know in the comments and I'll add it in!
As always, thank you for your support!

Hey all! After a somewhat random burst of Vessel-related inspiration, I am happy to share a Beta Version of my next original class for 5e - the VESSEL CLASS!

For those of you following along, there have been some fairly major changes this time around, most notably:
Unsealed Aspects have been moved up to 1st level. There are also quite a few more options for these at the end of the class. Still need to come up ...

Hello everyone! It has been over a year (!!) since I've updated the majority of my subclass compendiums, so I think it is time to start revisiting these - starting with the Barbarians' Compendium of Primal Paths.
I've learned a lot as a designer (both game design and graphic design) since I last worked on my subclass compendiums, so I'm very excited to give them a fresh coat of paint over the next couple of months!

Hey all, I got a ton of really great feedback from the Warlord update I shared this past weekend. I've made (what I think) are some pretty solid changes based on feedback. Hopefully you like it!
Warlord v2.2.1 Change Log

- Starting Equipment // Replaced the shield options with five javelins
- Leadership Style // Commander // Reworked. Grants heavy armor and a skill....

Hey all! As I'm sure most of you are aware, I released my first Patreon-exclusive One-Shot Adventure last month and I was wondering what the reception was.
These Adventures take time to design, create, balance, and format - time that I could be spending on updating my other content (classes, subclasses, etc), so I want to make sure this content is something Patrons actually want!
I enjoy creating/making the One-Shots, but if the majority of Patrons would enjoy something else more ...

Hey all, with the latest update to the Alternate Ranger I thought this would be the perfect time to add another "Complete Edition" Class to the Adept+ collection!
The Complete Alternate Ranger includes:
- The entire Alternate Ranger Class
- 14 Fighting Styles
- 12 Ranger Archetypes
- 5 Alternate Archetypes for the official subclasses
- 40 Survivalist Knacks
Enjoy!

Hello everyone, after a bit of a personal hiatus I am back with an update for my Alternate Ranger Class! My last public update for the Alternate Ranger was exactly a year ago today, so I think this was a bit overdue!

Hey all! As promised, here is the update to my Alternate Ranger. As this class has been around for almost 3 years now, the changes aren't super significant. The biggest ones have been the changes to Favored Foe and Foe Slayer.

I hope to have the Alternate Ranger: Expanded updated to 3.8.0 at some point later this week (so please don't keep asking me when...

Hey all, this upcoming Sunday will by 1 year since I've publicly posted an update for my Alternate Ranger so I thought it would be a perfect idea for my next project.
Here is a preview of my initial thoughts for the base class - not too many big changes so far, just some Fighting Style and Favored Foe adjustments.
Enjoy the preview!

Hey all, as promised for my Adept & Archmage Patrons, here is the first of many "Complete Classes".
I decided to start with the Alternate Fighter since it has (by far) the most content created for it. It should be printer friendly as well.
