A Thousand Classes + A Thousand More

Twenty-Nine! That's right 29! Subclasses for Dnd 5th edition are in this book, as well as just under 100 new spells, and 2 new magical subschools. Everything in here has been developed over the course of 3 years, by a group of players with at least half a decade's experience with DnD and other RPGs each.

Now the important stuff, and apologies for any unintentional insults, is that these are all developed primarily by someone who really dislikes DnD in a sense, that's me, the one writing this. Over my decade of play I have come to the conclusion that DnD likes to pretend to allow you to do things, while actually guiding you into a few set paths. 

These classes are made to be conflicting, or even outright contrary to what DnD wants you to do. You go into a cave, get hit by a trap arrow, fight a group of evil goblins, and get XP for it. Who plays DnD like that anymore? We're in a new age of RPGs baby. 

The Necromancy spells in here are all made in mind of being neutral, raising the dead won't be evil in every campaign after all. The spells are all made to balance out the dependence on hit points to guide what people can do. Barbarians won't always be wanting to Swing Sord as hard as they can, and Paladins can be downright mean and single minded in the pursuit of their quest.

But that's the fun of the game! Don't worry this has all been debated and tested extensively, the more you change the more you break of the game after all! That's why the classes in this book focus around a single interesting thing, they encourage you to do a certain thing, and potentially award you for doing that, but they won't punish you for doing otherwise.

In a vacum, shooting an arrow a few times a day from 1000 feet away is over powered, but to do that you'd have to get into a good position, have a clear view of your target, and even know if you should be shooting this guy or not. That kind of foresight, planning gameplay, should be rewarded wouldn't you say? That isn't easy after all!

And the game is, as I said before, more than just the hit points you can get rid of from your enemy.
