source unknown Kobolds are small, lizard-like creatures who yap and squeal. They are pathetic and loathsome, the servants of Dragons. They are crafty, but can be fooled by riddles and clever maids and frightened by children. And while dangerous in packs, individually, they are no threat. Or so they say. But like most stories, most of what is said about Kobolds isn't true. The Kobold Creation Myth: Kobolds are hateful creatures. They despise most other species for being t

Ideas borrowed from Runequest and Arnold K . Savage brutes and vicious creatures, Beastman are raiders, pillagers and butchers that haunt the wilderness and the frontier where civilization has not successfully caught on. They are near-mindless in their hatred for civilization, regarding all who seek more than the meagre comforts of Mother Earth as ungrateful ingrates, worthy of only being hunted for sport or used as livestock. by SEVASTIANS Beastman Warrior Number Appearing

This is a sub-class for my Wizard class. by Christopher Lovell The State of Nature in Nukaria: No sane person would go into a Forest in Nukaria, or any other type of wilderness. The wilderness hides many things, from savage people to wild animals to Magical Beasts and much more. If people must leave the safety of civilized lands, they do so in large caravans with many guards and they stick to the roads. The Orzanian Empire, the dominant world power and your likely govern

This is a sub-class for my Wizard class. Unlike with the others, I will not be including a write-up of the specific character of this Wizard-type, as adding firearms to your setting is something to carefully consider. However, I have included some tables to help provide ideas or randomly generate something. by thedarkinker What are you? 1d4 1- The last remnant of an ancient order. Once your kind protected the land, but the world has moved on. You are a mostly-forgotten

by Smexyheroes I love Wizards and hate putting in more effort than necessary. As such, I implemented the Free-Form Wizards with multiple ideas in mind. I wanted to reduce the burden on myself, free my players to be more creative and allow them to roleplay a Wizard more like the kind in Fantasy Novels and Movies. This worked, to an extent. The Good: The Free-Form Wizard feels like a Fantasy Novel Wizards: They can freely employ wondrous powers to solve problems, hurl terri

by FelipeSmith Heracles Handbook The Heracles Handbook is only a school in the technical sense. It has no hierarchy, no central organization, nor even a dedicated community of people. It tends to only be practiced by violent loners or social misfits. Most don't know of its existence, but the effects of it are seen by all who encounter one of its adherents. It all starts with a book. The book details a series of mental exercises, a dietary plan and a training regiment.

One thing that immensely disappointed me about Lamentations of the Flame Princess was the total lack of class abilities, hence why I started writing my own version of the Fighter, Thief, etc. But most egregious of these deficits were the race-as-class options. In LotfP, you can play as an Elf, Dwarf or Halfling. Yet besides a chart based on how much XP it takes to level up, there is barely any details about what that means or what an Elf can do. What's the point of playin

Every year, on one specific day, the boundaries between the Spirit World, the Land of the Dead and the World of the Living reach their thinnest point. On this day, the souls of the dead are permitted to leave their dwellings in the otherworld to return to the Living World, or to explore other realms temporarily. Other creatures, such as Folk and Outsiders are granted similar permissions, able to walk freely and depart from their places of origin to wander freely. For morta

This is based off my original Electromancer, which borrowed ideas heavily from Arnold K's work ( here and here ). It is also originally from a setting that had some understanding of electricity, so in a medieval fantasy setting, you might not wish to allow these. They suit Eldritch Americana or a Magical Industrial Revolution type setting much better. Nonetheless, the following post will be based on the idea of Electromancers in a pre-modern setting. from Infamous Elect

by Majorie Davis Giggling, capering, foolish creatures; deprived of fear and drunk on black mirth and base cruelty, the Goblin is foremost among the terrors afflicting the small people of this world. For unlike the lumbering Trolls, tyrannical Giants, ravenous Ogres or any number of other savage beasts, Goblins are as common as poison ivy. They are a dark plague that afflicts the body politic of many civilized lands, growing numerous and potent when the institutions crumble

This is a sub-class for my Wizard class. Ideas borrowed from here and here , while some spells are from 5E and LotFP. by Getty Images Psychomancers are Wizards who possess that most subtle yet lethal art, the penetration of the innermost sanctum, the mind itself. They are feared by all, never trusted and always kept at arm's length, even as they are quietly courted and bribed into obedience. Reputation: Psychomancer Orders are either Outlaws or Chartered. Either the go

They descend from Deep Heaven, or rise from the Astral Sea, depending on your perspective, to meddle with events on our little dirtball. 2. Angels, Demons and Spirits are all names for the same thing Mortals label Outsiders as Angels, Demons or Spirits, but they are all the same type of creature. Anti-Demon weaponry can often kill Angels as well, u
