Homebrew Barbarian, Bard, and Cleric Subclasses
As part of making a new world for my players, I wanted to add at least one new subclass per class that thematically fits into the world. As such, these are for the first three classes. There will be 3 more posts in the coming weeks about the other classes, so if you're interested in those, stay tuned! The new races were already explored last week, and I'm planning on revising the feats for those when I add in the lore for the regular races.
As for individual classes, I modelled the Path of Fungal Fury partially upon the Circle of Spores and the Path of the Zealot subclasses.
For the College of the Trickster, I modelled the damage roughly on the College of Whispers feature. I decreased the damage to d4s to make up for the increased range in addition to the fact that these don't require you to hit with an attack. I made this the main feature because it just seems really cool thematically, as you have a Trickster making blades appear from nowhere and juggling them, while their friends might be picking pockets or cutting purses. Or you could just be an honest juggler.
For the College of Solidarity, I wanted a more support focused bard. Not much else to say here tbh.
For the Jagu Domain, I wanted a Cleric that was incentivized not to attack, akin to the Oath of Redemption in Xanathar's. Instead of the standard Divine Strike or Potent Spellcasting, I wanted this Cleric to buff their ally's attacks, making them more support focused. The Create Food and Water spell might seem out of place, but that's how the City gets half of its food, so I thought that adding it would be a nice thematic touch.
For the Mother Domain, I wanted to convey a kind of druidy Cleric that wasn't Nature, and to add a more poison focused theme. I think this one played out pretty well.
