5E HOMEBREW CLASSES COMPENDIUM FREE

Oriental: The Oriental tag denotes that a class has fluff written with a Far East or (more rarely) Middle East setting in mind, be it Edo Japan, Han China or even the Mughal Empire of India, Sassanid Persian Empire or early Ottoman Empire. Modern: If a class is based around gunmanship or was inspired by something set in the modern era (meaning post-1800), it will most likely receive this tag.

Note that a lot of classes can be made to fit a Horror campaign and that these classes simply fit Horror campaigns amazingly well, often being specifically made for them.

They have a very different feel to them than “normal” campaigns do, which classes with this tag fit very well. Horror: While Horror does not exclude Fantasy, Horror campaigns are a brand apart. Some classes are made to better fit a different era or location, however. Most Homebrew fits this genre as well or easily can with some tweaks (to either the fluff of the class or to the campaign setting). Specifically, High Fantasy in a setting that resembles Europe around the year 1500, at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. The standard genre of D&D campaigns is Fantasy.

Besides these there are also a few Other tags. The tags are put into four different categories: Genre, Inspiration, Subsystem and Role. I use a system of tags for the base classes listed below, so that even before clicking on the link you have a vague idea in what sort of campaigns you can most likely expect to use them and what party niche you are most likely to fill with that class. Generally, people with original fluff or mechanics in their homebrew get Tiered faster and usually I will give small priority to people with few homebrew to their name (because it is most likely less known). However, there is never a full-proof, solid way of being sure you'll get your homebrew Tiered.Įven if I don't Tier your class in the end, I will most likely at the very least give you a little PEACHing of your class here. If you participate in the Base Class Challenge or the Mixed Ultimate Homebrew Arts (with a base class, of course), you will eventually get Tiered (much quicker if you win, score high or just do your best!). If you have an Extended Homebrewer's Signature, I will undoubtedly eventually come across your stuff and Tier it. This might make it easy for me to miss it though, so I challenge you all to prove me wrong, and show me what ENWorld's got! I have to admit that I don't frequent ENWorld as often as other D&D boards, but for as far as I've seen there isn't as much homebrew here as in some other places, at least not that much in recent times. My judgment can change, of course, I’m not impervious to good, rational arguments, but usually once I’ve put it on the list, I won’t change my mind unless the class changes first. Also note that this is all completely based off my own judgment, which may differ from yours.

Feel free to suggest classes, but note that only complete classes will be listed and only after I have had the time to check them and judge them. This will be an extensive and most likely slow project, but I don’t mind as it will be a while before I’ll DM again, but I want to be ready for it and ready to use Homebrew and let my players use Homebrew. If you're not familiar with the Tier system, read this. I intend to examine Homebrew base classes and put them into a Tier listing and add tags for their roles, genre, inspiration source and subsystem use, so that when I set up a campaign and I want to use Homebrew I can just point here and say: “Everything marked with of Tier X is allowed.” It was first created on Giant in the Playground here, but I decided that I would like input from more people, from more places, places where I did venture off to to gather materials to Tier, but with which I was not entirely familiar with. This, my friends, is my Homebrew Tier Compendium.
