D&D 5e Homebrew Compendium 2 Discussion Thread

[Twelvetrees]

If I have missed threads that you want to be in the compendium, please link them here. The purpose of this thread is for the discussion of the compendium and for providing links to 5e homebrew yet to be found in the compendium.

The compendium

Please do not post homebrew in this thread. Make a thread in Homebrew Design and post it there.

Also, wow. The old thread barely lasted a year before this was needed.

[Twelvetrees]

If you could add my Zerg class, and Swarmlord prestige class.

Do you have a link to the Swarmlord on giantitp? I generally like to keep the threads I link to on the forum. Sorry if that's an inconvenience.


I'll try to clean up the format of the compendium over the next few days, so if you have suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.

Things like this (And I'll see what I can do, Ithala):

Would it be too much for me to request you to organize the Warlock subclass options by pages that have Patron options and pages with Pact options.... they are separate character options afterall.....

[Oramac]

Looking good!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

[JNAProductions]

Thanks again, Twelvetrees, for putting this together.

Word of advice to everybody-FAVORITE THE ACTUAL COMPENDIUM. Makes it SO MUCH easier to reference it. (Took my about three months to figure out to do that. Sometimes, I'm a big dumb.)

[Ninja_Prawn]

Twelvetrees, darling, I have a new base class for you! Well, actually an old one, updated for 5e.

Here it is: The Princess!

I understand why you don't want us posting in the other thread - it obviously keeps things clear and straightforward, and gives you freedom to expand with more posts if needed - but with control comes obscurity. Without being regularly bumped, the index will disappear into the bowels of the forum, limiting it to the function of a blog post, something to be bookmarked at the time of posting and likely forgotten. When bumped regularly it stops being an index alone, and becomes a form of advertisement for the community; new and casual browsers will come across it on a daily basis, not only giving them access to a tool they wouldn't have known to to even look for, but also showing them that there's real organization and collaboration here and giving them a place to start, and occasional users will be reminded to check it for updates. It's obviously your call, you're the one making a free, remarkable effort for the rest of us on your own time and I'm not rooster enough to try to tell you you're doing it ~wrong~. Just thought I'd put it out there as something to consider.

I would sort-of second this, highlighting the part I've bolded.

For my part, I frequently link people to the compendium when they ask 'has anyone got any suggestions for X', and if there are two or three lurkers to every poster, a few more people will see (and possibly bookmark) the compendium each time I do that. If everyone else does the same, and we keep bumping this discussion thread, plenty of people will see it.

[Twelvetrees]

I would have liked to keep it as all one thread as well. The problem is that it took about a year for the original to run out of room, even with the extra posts I built in. This method is a little more complicated, yes, but it's also more stable. Instead of having to create a new version of the compendium every year, I can add more posts as necessary without having to worry about running out of room. It's not ideal, but it's the best solution I had.

Edit: My reasoning in regards to obscurity was that a stable thread would be less obscure than multiple versions of the compendium, with the number growing.

[JNAProductions]

You should really PM a mod and get it stickied. It well deserves to be.

[tallesthalfling]

I've gone through the compendium (most of it not all) and decided the "duck" listed wasn't right for what I thought a duck race would be, so I made my own. If you'd like to review it, its on my profile I cant seem to post a link.

[Drakvor]

Hello, I have a Zealot class based on Protoss units from Starcraft as well as a Protoss race.

This is my first homebrew, so I am not sure if it's entirely balanced, but here is the link to the thread: Zealot Class

I would also appreciate any suggestions or feedback on the races.

Thanks

[quinron]

I have a new rogue subclass up: Hitman - Roguish Archetype

[Ninja_Prawn]

Hey Twelvetrees, I just noticed there's no section for homebrewed items in your compendium. I just saw this and I figured that the OP could benefit from a collected list of homebrewed items. Do you think you could add one in?

There's a section for items in my homebrew sig if you need any material to get you started.

[Twelvetrees]

Huh?

...

Oh. I'm missing two entire sections from the previous compendium.

I'll get those up shortly. I'm hopeful I'll have time to update the compendium soon.



Edit: Mundane and Magic Items added.

I'd love to put this on your wonderful list. I use it all the dang time. My second most trafficked bookmark besides DeviantArt.

[Ninja_Prawn]

It is my 1st attempt at making a Homebrew and my 1st post for this forum.

Welcome to the forum!

I recommend that you create a new thread for your Oath so that people can discuss it and offer advice. This thread is for discussing the compendium or requesting that your work be added to it (preferably by linking to the relevant thread(s)). It isn't the right place to put actual homebrew content.

@Twelvetrees: maybe it would be worth putting a rules/protocol section into the OP of this thread?

[Twelvetrees]

The compendium is up to date again.

You should really PM a mod and get it stickied. It well deserves to be.

It's already under 5e Notable Threads, and I'm guessing the mods don't want to clutter Homebrew Design with edition-specific stickies, so I think it's as stickied as much as it can be.

Added.

Done.

[Rogem]

I've rebranded my previously-known-as Blacksmith to Artisan.

Would appreciate you changing the compendium to reflect that

[Quintus Vorenus]

Please add a link to my monk subclass

Monastic Tradition: Way of the Enlighted Realm (Outer Realms).

Sorry for not posting the link, it's on gianttip but I don't have the required amount of posts.

[Final Hyena]

For Quintus Vorenus.

[Ralcos]

I have made the Shadar-Kai Race. I'm looking for input...

It's been a while, and it's good to by back.

[Ralcos]

Remade an old Bugbear race I made a long time ago.

Would you mind putting my newly 'Brewed Divine Domain, called the Spider Domain?

Link to the domain: link

[Twelvetrees]

The compendium is up to date once more. Everything new should be added, so if I've forgotten anything, let me know. I'm going to try to clean up the compendium a little over the next few days as well.

Twelvetrees, you're the bomb. *High-fives*

[JNAProductions]

The Kind, a new race, is ready to be added.

[KoyukiTei13]

Should a link to The Middle Finger of Vecna blog be added to the other Homebrew Compendiums?

[JNAProductions]

So I don't want to Compendium itself to fall by the wayside-Twelvetrees, have you considered bumping it, just so that way it's accessible and doesn't vanish into the ether?

[Twelvetrees]

I bump it when I update it, which I should be doing soon, hopefully.

[Quintus Vorenus]

Please add my Base Class:
