  • Cataclysmic Ectoplasmic Psychedelic Barbaric 4E D&D
    CATACLYSMIC ECTOPLASMIC PSYCHEDELIC BARBARIC 4E D&D By Ron Edwards It's a unique non-canonical setting built from selected components of rulebook material. I started with races and classes I found most fun to look at – briefly, most of the primals and the psionics. From there I brainstormed a sylvan paradise disrupted by aberrant metaphysical chaos, where cataclysm is the new normal. THE SETTING It's a physically and metaphysically shattered world: not really holding together, and not really meaning anything. Imagine wilderness, ruins, voids, wastelands, ancient battlefields, crystals, vortices, with some surviving strongholds and holdouts. Forget all canonical D&D imagery. I'm talking about serious Ditko-level surrealism, Moebis-art landscapes and mind-shattering voids with barely cohering floating fragments of worlds, phase-isolated echoes of the past or future, and the occasional inability to tell whether you're in some kind of reality or trapped in someone's mind. The vortices provide the "dungeon" in the game title, freaky three-D spherical manifestations – they grow, therefore getting more and more levels/interiors, which is awesome. Tripping yet? Good. This is raw psycho-savage fantasy at the edge of hallucination. Damage will be described in detail. I expect characters to get naked. RACES These are the only player-character races in the setting: Githzerai, Shifter, Minotaur, Shardmind, Wilden We're working only from the abstracted descriptions in the 4E books, so we're using absolutely no content from the canonical settings or

  • Simple Psionics
    Simple Psionics Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Compatible Psionics Psionics in 5e D&D has been a very controversial topic. When first released as part of UA, WOTC’s attempts were generally considered overcomplicated to such an extent that it received very negative backlash. With the release of TCOE, Psionics has been reduced to a very limited set of powers used by the Soul Knife Rogue and the Psi-Warrior Fighter. Dissatisfied with the end result, I decided to try and make a dedicated psion which integrates as smoothly as possible with the existing mechanics. The following contains the Psion class and 3 subclasses, as well as a Discipline system that all functions off of one resource: the psionic energy dice (or psi-dice for short). by Peter Lathamhurst DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, Forgotten Realms, the dragon ampersand, Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, Dungeon Master’s Guide, D&D Adventurers League, all other Wizards of the Coast product names, and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast in the USA and other countries.

  • X Artillerist

Artificer Alchemist - X Armorer - Defensive Field is now limited to proficiency uses per long rest. Second Skin changed to Dampening Field, now gives advantage on Stealth checks but doesn't negate disadvantage from armor, stating they cancel out. In function, straight roll if the armor normally gives disadvantage. Advantage if the armor doesn't provide disadvantage. Artillerist - X Battle Smith - Steel Defender wording changed.
