Peach's Homebrew

Rogue subclasses are pretty simple and fun to make. One thing that I like about rogues is that they can be very versatile and unique from one another.

This is a modified/revised version of the Inquisitive rogue subclass, and takes the thematic opposite. Essentially, an inquisitive rogue is sort of like a detective, as they investigate people and places, sense a person's motive and emotions, and understand enemies weaknesses. The charlatan, the other side of the coin, is about foolish people, bluffing their own emotions and motives, and deceiving enemies.

Rogue subclasses are pretty simple and fun to make. One thing that I like about rogues is that they can be very versatile and unique from one another. They are more specialists than anything, and they don't have to be thieves or criminals.

This subclass is for an acrobat character, focusing on mobility, movement, jumping, climbing, and reducing damage.

This subclass if for a bounty hunter like character archetype, and adds a new weapon/damage mechanic: traps, which can do a variety of damage as well as status effects once activated. Additionally, the bounty hunter gets proficiency with nets and heavy crossbows.

Rogue subclasses are pretty simple and fun to make. One thing that I like about rogues is that they can be very versatile and unique from one another. They are more specialists than anything, and they don't have to be thieves or criminals. This is a subclass for the rogue that attempts to make a non-magical artificer character archetype: a non-magical inventor or tinkerer. With 14 different inventions to choose from, this rogue has lots of customization options and it can be used as a framework to build many different kinds of characters.

This subclass is for a matador-like rogue that will have slightly higher AC, can buff allies with AC, and can reduce a target's speed and apply a penatly to its next attack with some abilities scaling on Charisma.

One thing that I really liked about the Stars druid is that it expanded the "nature" theme of druids outside of traditional druid areas like plants, animals, elements, and weather into something new and interesting.

I know that there is a gravity wizard subclass from Matt Mercer, but I really like the idea of a druid subclass focused on gravity as well, and druids that devote themselves to master one of the most fundamental forces of nature.

To that end, this is a subclass that I put together focusing on limiting enemy mobility or moevement with a little extra damage at level 2 with a Gravity Field ability based on wildshape use. At level 6, they get a limited use ability to change damage type to essentially gravity damage (which is fun) and get a little extra damage. Level 10 gives an improved fly speed compared to the Stars druid Dragon constellation and some buffs for allies against being prone. Level 14 is an overall improvement on the Level 2 abilities and a jumping speed for allies.

This druid subclass is a fun and unique thematic approach for druids, different that the traditional druid areas of animals, plants, and the elements. Druids of the Circle of Time treat time itself as another natural phenomenon to be controlled and mastered. With additional spells, a timeshape ability, unique recall to change prepared spells, fast casting, and an ability to turn time back from death itself, the time druid makes for a fun an unique druid circle!

The Exorcist is a variant Ceric subclass that slightly modifies the original base cleric. Based around summoning, helpful marks for allies, and baleful sigils against enemies, the Exorcist is modeled after a mixing of the western exorcist and an exorcist from traditional Japanese folklore and myth. They derive their power through the study of spells like wizards in addition to inner spiritual cultivation and personal discipline like monks. Finally, exorcists can draw power from extraplanar entities they have defeated or bind them to their will. Additionally, this subclass allows for choosing the spellcasting ability modifier: wisdom, intelligence, or charisma, depending on the kind of exorcist that one wants to play!

This rogue subclass is meant to capture a certain archetype of character that I don’t believe fits well into 5e currently: a rogue, but one that is more of a thug or bouncer or ruffian type character. This also allows the opportunity to play a strength rogue instead of a dexterity rogue, use new weapons, grapples, or unarmed strikes!

Shamans are fun to play in Dungeons and Dragons and wizard, warlock, and cleric can make good shamans depending on the kind of shaman character one is trying to make. I also think that druids offer a really great opportunity to make a shaman character!

The Shaman is a variant/subclass for the druid class! This subclass adds new circle spells, allows one to channel spirits, and speak to the dead! Additionally, this subclass allows for choosing the spellcasting ability modifier: wisdom, intelligence, or charisma, depending on the kind of shaman that one wants to play!

This fighter subclass is highly customizable with 7 different features to pick from at level 3. It is meant to capture a certain archetype of character that I don't believe fits well into 5e currently: one like a boxer or wrestler without heavy armor that is more thematically close to a fighter than a raging barbarian or spiritual monk.

This warlock patron is El-Ahrairah, the Prince of Rabbits, who takes the form of a giant, otherwordly rabbit. Known as a trickster, El-Ahrairah takes pleasure in pulling pranks, causing mischief, and promoting general chaos. However, El-Ahrairah is much more noble and good than his reputation or deeds might first indicate. On closer inspection, his targets for trickery are always those who oppress, control, or harass the small, weak, and powerless. He is also a fierce defender of the natural world, and is well-respected among druids, fey, and races such as elves and gnomes; though they don't always agree with his methods. This warlock subclass offers a melee alternative compared to the Hexblade or a Bladelock multiclass, fun trickster spells, and evasion/utility. The El-Ahrairah patron is based off of Richard Adam's excellent novel Watership Down.

This warlock patron is called a Trickster. A Trickster is a powerful otherwordly entity: resourceful, cunning, prone to mischief, manipulative, and deceitful. A Trickster upsets rules and conventions, delighting in pushing boundaries to further their goals.

Tricksters occupy a wonderful and delightful place in mythologies and folklore across all of human cultures, and I think that because often they are powerful with magic abilities, but often not gods, they make perfect Warlock patrons.

This warlock subclass is very unique, mixing abilities similar to a druid (shapechanging), divination wizard (changing rolls), and the rune knight (making others the targets of your attacks).

This is my attempt to import the Summoner class from Pathfinder into D&D 5e as a sorcerer variant/subclass. Much of it remains the same as the sorcerer, but the focus is on summoning and controling a bonded extraplanar entity, called an eidolon, which the Summoner controls in combat and shares a special bond. Customization of the eidolon is part of the fun, and the type of eidolon, relationship to your Summoner, and way of roleplaying the two of them is limited only by your imagination! Because this is a variant class, metamagic is replaced by eidolon evolutions, though the mechanics are almost exactly the same. As a variant class, one is free to determine if charisma, wisdom, or intelligence is the best spellcasting ability that one has in mind for their character and eidolon.

Witches are fun to play in Dungeons and Dragons and wizard, warlock, and artificer can make good witches depending on the kind of witch character one is trying to make. I also think that druids offer a really great opportunity to make a "wild witch" or "witch of the woods" character! The Witch is a variant/subclass for the druid class! This subclass adds new circle spells, allows one to create witch's brew potions and have other party members cast spells or use wild shape, use divination magic for utility, create your own coven, and create a flying tool like a carpet or broomstick! Additionally, this subclass allows for choosing the spellcasting ability modifier: wisdom, intelligence, or charisma, depending on the kind of witch that one wants to play!

This is a revision of the Alchemist subclass for the Artificer that incorporates the flexibility and versatility of the Pathfinder Alchemist into Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. I think the Alchemist is widely regarded as underwhelming compared to other Artificier subclasses, but because I think that thematically Alchemists are so cool, I wanted to make some changes! This revision of the alchemist means that a player can choose from a variety of options to customize the alchemist's role and abilities. This subclass can do any number of things depending on what one wants to focus on: Melee, DPS, Healing, AOE damage, Support, etc.
