Hey all, my group really like the Tome of Battle and I've have been trying to find more options. I found a great compendium here from sirpercival (would add link, but forum won't let me) for a collection of disciplines, but my trouble is trying to find classes.

For me, at least, I'm having trouble finding much or just a few here or there. Does anyone know of a good compendium for the classes that I can share with my players?

Thanks for any help, sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I believe the Homebrew Martial Discipline Compendium (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?255468-Homebrew-Martial-Discipline-Compendium) is just what you're looking for.

Edge, he explicitly asked for classes, not disciplines.

Here are a few. I'm not going to offer anything whose table was unchanged since the change in the way tables were coded.


Wildwood Knight (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?401772-Wildwood-Knight-(Fey-themed-martial-initiator-Base-Class-PEACH)): Fey themed, since it was on the front page of the homebrew forum at the time I am posting you likely saw it already.
Corrupted (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=1457.msg145525#msg145525): Far Realms themed initiator that using natural weapons.
Jack of All Blades (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?257154-Jack-of-All-Blades-Why-Chose-ToB-Disciplines): Generalist who can swap disciplines easilly
Kaijin (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?258938-Make-my-monster-GROOOOWWWWW!-(3-5)-(Base-Class)-(WiP)): Make my monster GROOOWWW!
Sentai (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?264677-Let-s-make-this-showy!-(3-P-repost-Sentai-Base-Class-Archetypes)): Its Morphing Time!
Magus of Blades (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?214568-3-5-PEACH-Magus-of-Blades-truth-is-in-the-cutting): Arcanist/Initiator hybrid


There are some I'd like to bring extra attention go. First, the two initiator classes made by Xefas; the Primordialist (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?237502-3-5-The-Primordialist-Martial-Adept-Base-Class) and the Martial Adept (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?263957-3-5-ToB-Xefas-Rambles-Makes-a-Base-Class-And-Expands-Things). Chiefly I want to note that Xefas rejects the whole 'lets have manuervers that are identical to lower level ones, just with higher numbers' thing that most disciplines do. I personally prefer Xefas' way of doing things, but YMMV. The Primordialist uses disciplines Xefas made based on the Yozi of Exalted, although only 3 of the 6 intended disciplines were ever finished. For the sake of convience I'll include the link to the Cosmic Imperator (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?259105-3-5-Cosmic-Imperator-Discipline&highlight=cosmic+Imperator) discipline, which was made under the same philosophy. Meanwhile, the Martial Adept is a generic initiator that I quite like, and can work with basically any discipline ever. Initially, they are limited in the number of disciplines they can use, but eventually they can get access to any discipline they are willing to spend a bit of EXP on.

Lastly, I'll point you toward the Tohou Battle Grimoire (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?board=101.0). It's a collection of classes and disciplines based on the Tohou Project, a franchise of games that are mostly Bullet Hell, with some fighting game tangents. I mostly want to note that the tastes of the guy who makes them tends to be a little on the strong side. It shouldn't be a major issue in general, but you probably don't want to let someone with one of those disciplines get a magic item with a large bonus to their discipline skill.

This is what I get for skimming. :smallsigh: My bad.

The Demented One (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=7315805&postcount=52) made a lot of ToB-related stuff, mostly disciplines and PrCs, with the Soul Disciple, Warlord, and Warrior-Poet standing out for base classes.

Krimm_Blackleaf (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=3715895&postcount=21) also has a lot of homebrew PrCs, with a couple feats in the mix as well. Notably Bleach-themed.

I don't know if these are tested, but you asked for content, so:


Tome of Tactics (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?183826-Tome-of-Tactics-A-sequel-to-ToB-PEACH) classes
Warrior's Way (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?192596-The-Warrior-s-Way-Rebalancing-Blade-and-Bow) has Wildheart, Dreadthane, Knight, and some ACFs for Warlord/Sohei (maybe Fighter too?)
The Gambler (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=7185.0) (I love the maneuver access mechanic here)


Classes I've liked reading from the D&D Wiki:

Sublime Barbarian (https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Sublime_Samurai_%283.5e_Class%29). Barbarian fix + Maneuvers. This is a very strong class. YMMV.
Battle Scholar (https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Battle_Scholar_%283.5e_Class%29). Another cool take on maneuver access.
Codex Assassin (https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Codex_Assassin_%283.5e_Class%29). Rogue + Maneuvers. Pretty simple.
Paladin of the Sublime Way (https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Paladin_of_the_Sublime_Way_%283.5e_Class%29). Paladin fix + Maneuvers. Even simpler.
Sublime Soulblade (https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Sublime_Soulblade_%283.5e_Class%29). Soulknife fix + Maneuvers.

Any reason not to back-port Path of War?
