Hi all,
New to the forum, so sorry for any mistakes in formatting and other things...
I am going to do a campain in a while, and i want to homebrew a LOT in it. It will be the third campain with my friends, so they will have a lot of knowledge and have less difficulty with things that make it more difficult.
For this campain i want to use only homebrew subclasses, and possibly a whole new class. These are my ideas till this moment:
Knowledge of the Past (lvl3):
At level 3 you become proficient in the History skill if you are not proficient yet.
Trials of the Past (lvl3):
Your insight to the lives of your ancestors teaches you how to fight. Choose one of the following fighting styles.
Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
Duelling: When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting: When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Two-Weapon Fighting: When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Favor of the Elders (lvl6):
At level 6 your connection with your elders have strengthened so far, that they show you the way to strike in battle. When you initiate a rage, roll 2d20's and take whichever roll you want. Any time during the rage you can choose to use the roll in place of an attack roll. You may choose so after you see the initial roll, but before you know the result of the throw. At level 14 you may roll a second set of d20's for another roll.
Knowledge of the Ancestors (lvl10):
At lvl10 you become expertised in the History skill if you are not expertised yet.
Wrath of the Ancestors (lvl10):
Your connection with your elders have strengthened so far, that they protect and empower you in battle. When you rage, you gain an amount of Ancestral Points equal to your wisdom modifier. By expending one of these Ancestral Points, you may choose one of the following options as a bonus action on your turn:
- Your next attack this turn gains a bonus on the attack roll equal to half your proficiency bonus, rounded down
- Your next attack that hits this turn gains a bonus to the damage equal to half your proficiency bonus, rounded down
- You gain THP equal to twice your proficiency bonus. This lasts till the end of your rage or till it is depleted.
Knowledge of the Ancients (lvl14):
At level 14, as an action, you can choose to become proficient in a skill you are not expertised in, or expertised in a skill you are proficient in for 10 minutes. You cannot use this ability again untill you finish a short or long rest.
Warden of the Ancients (lvl14):
At level 14, you have become the Warden of the Ancients, and you are fully blessed by your ancestors. While raging, you can make one extra attack as a bonus action on your turn.
Recite Legends (lvl3):
When a creature within 60ft of you that can hear you makes an ability check, you may use your reaction to give him or her proficiency in the check, or expertise if he or she already has proficiency in the check. You can use this feature once per long rest. At lvl14, you can use this feature twice per long rest.
Combat Inspiration (lvl3):
Also at 3rd level, you learn to inspire others in battle. A creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made. Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack, after seeing the roll but before knowing whether it hits or misses.
Legend’s Chorus (lvl6):
As a bonus action on your turn, you can inspire an ally within 60ft of you that can hear you to attack when there is an opening. That ally can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack to a creature within its range. You may use this feature equal to your charisma modifier. This refreshes on a long rest.
The making of a Legend (lvl14)
At level 14 you can inspire your allies to become legends themselves. Once per long rest, you may expend a Bardic Inspiration Die as an action to give an ally the opportunity to use his reaction to make a spell attack, or a full attack.
Bonus Proficiencies (lvl3):
You gain proficiency in all metal Armor (Medium Armor (except Hide) and Heavy Armor) and two metal martial weapons of your choice.
Hard as Rock(/Metal) (lvl3):
Your inspiration dice may be used as a reaction to being hit. If a creature does so, it increases its AC by half the result of the inspiration die, rounded down (minimum of 1).
Thunderstruck (lvl6):
You gain resistance to Thunder damage. Additionally, you may use your Charisma modifier with weapons you are proficient with in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier.
Hell’s Bells (lvl14)
At level 14, you may use an action to begin a performance in battle for up to 1 minute. In the following turns during the duration or until you lose concentration you may use your action to continue the performance. An amount of creatures up to your Charisma modifier within 60ft of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom Saving Throw against your spellcasting DC. On a fail, a creature is paralyzed for the duration. It can repeat the saving throw on the end of its turn. On a success, the creature is immune to your performance for 24 hours.
Know your Swords (lvl3):
Whenever you make an ability check related to swords, you are considered proficient in the skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
Just one more cutter! (lvl3):
You have dedicated yourself to fighting with multiple swords. You gain the following benefits if you are not wearing heavy armor:
- When you are wielding a longsword or a rapier, you may dual wield them. The second sword gains the benefit of the dual-wielding fighting style if you have it. If you have the Dual Wielder FEAT, the damage die for your weapons increase by one size.
- When you are dual wielding Scimitars or Short Swords, you may wield one more in your mouth. The dual wielded swords gain the benefit of the dual-wielding fighting style if you have it, but the third doesn’t. You may attack with both the second and the third sword (so 2 attacks total) as a bonus action. When wielding a sword in your mouth, you cannot cast spells with a verbal component, and can only speak six words each turn. If you have the Dual Wielder FEAT, the swords in your hands may be rapiers or longswords. You do not gain the first benefit of this feature if you choose this one.
X Pound Phoenix (lvl7):
At level 7, you learned a sword technique with which you can make a ranged attack. With one sword, it is called the ’36 Pound Phoenix, with two swords, it is called the ’72 Pound Phoenix and with three swords it is called the ‘108 Pound Phoenix.
You can use this technique as an action. You make one ranged attack with a range of 30ft using all swords together. This attack deals force damage equal to the combined damage dice of all your swords, but only adds your Strength or Dexterity modifier once. For instance, when using this attack with two rapiers, the Two-Weapon Fighting Style and a Dexterity score of 16, you do 2d8+3 damage. You may use this technique an amount equal to your Constitution modifier, as it is a strenuous technique. You cannot make an attack with your bonus action in the same turn as you use this technique.
Demon Slash (lvl10):
As an action, you may make one weapon attack with all your swords combined, dealing the total damage dice of all swords combined. If you hit the attack, you may move through the target’s space and 10 feet behind it, without provoking opportunity attacks. You may use this ability a total of half your Dexterity modifier, rounded up (minimum 1). All expended uses reset on a long rest.
Haki (lvl15):
You can use one of the following options as a bonus action on your turn once per short rest.
- Mind Rope: Until the beginning around your next turn, you can see the auras of creatures within 30ft of you. This aura is even visible to you if there is no more than 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt between you and the creature, and if the creature is invisible. You also gain advantage on all your attacks and others gain disadvantage on all attacks against you if you see the aura of the target you attack or get attacked by for the duration. You do not gain any of the benefits if you are blinded.
- Ardement Harding: You can either reinforce your skin or your weapons. If you reinforce your skin, you gain a +2 to AC till your next turn, and your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage for one minute. If you reinforce your weapons, they deal an additional 2 damage on a hit for one minute.
- Conqueror’s Haki: You burst out your inner strength, and each creature you choose within 30ft of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Strength or Charisma DC, whichever is higher. If they fail, they become frightened of you for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. You can’t use this option again until you finished a long rest.
Ultimate Technique(lvl18):
Once per long rest, you may execute the most powerful sword technique you know, depending on how many swords you are wielding. Each of the techniques costs an action, and you cannot use your bonus action this turn for making more attacks.
- One Sword: Unfortunate Port Bird: As an action, you make one slash with your sword, and a wave slashes forward in a straight line. Each creature in a 100ft line of you must make a Dexterity Saving Throw against your Strenght of Dexterity DC (depending on the weapon). On a failed save, they take four times your weapon damage die/dice and once your damage modifier in force damage, or half as much on a successful save.
- Two Swords: Bear Demon. You leap towards an enemy, both swords pointing down, up to your strength modifier x 10 feet. Make a weapon attack roll. On a hit, you deal four times your weapon damage dice as damage for the attack. You deal your damage modifier as if you had hit with both weapons.
- Three Swords: Asura. You act so swiftly that it seems you have three heads and six hands. You make three weapon attacks with each sword, but can only apply your damage modifier once per sword. All attacks must be to the same enemy.
Spellcasting (lvl3):

- For the purposes of that spell’s attack roll, if any, you use your weapon attack attribute rather than your spellcasting attribute
- The spell’s effects are targeted or centered on the target you are aiming at with your weapon, whether an enemy or a square.
If the spell targets multiple creatures, then the origin of the spell becomes the creature you targeted with your weapon, the creature you targeted with your weapon becomes one of the targets of the spell, and the spell uses its own range from that origin. When you use a spell in this way, you consume the appropriate spell slot as normal.

That's it for now. Some of these are made with anime or other things in mind, and some are made from other subclasses i've seen on the internet. Some are even copy-pasted, with some minor changes to let it feel my needs. I have energy to look them all up and credit the original maker of them. If you do want your username specifically mentioned, please send me a PM with the link to the original post (to verify), and your username shall be mentioned in the subclass. For the rest; thanks a lot for all the inspiration and thanks for letting me use your ideas!
Please comment on my subclasses. I need as much feedback on whether they are balanced, what might be unbalanced, and if they are balanced with eachother (since i am planning to use only these in my campain).
Thanks in advance!
New to the forum, so sorry for any mistakes in formatting and other things...
I am going to do a campain in a while, and i want to homebrew a LOT in it. It will be the third campain with my friends, so they will have a lot of knowledge and have less difficulty with things that make it more difficult.
For this campain i want to use only homebrew subclasses, and possibly a whole new class. These are my ideas till this moment:

That's it for now. Some of these are made with anime or other things in mind, and some are made from other subclasses i've seen on the internet. Some are even copy-pasted, with some minor changes to let it feel my needs. I have energy to look them all up and credit the original maker of them. If you do want your username specifically mentioned, please send me a PM with the link to the original post (to verify), and your username shall be mentioned in the subclass. For the rest; thanks a lot for all the inspiration and thanks for letting me use your ideas!
Please comment on my subclasses. I need as much feedback on whether they are balanced, what might be unbalanced, and if they are balanced with eachother (since i am planning to use only these in my campain).
Thanks in advance!
