Behold, the Meat-Wizard Mutophage v2.5

I am once again rolling out an update for the mutophage, class. While not as drastic an overhaul as the last time, this update includes a lot of changes to help balance out what was an overpowered mess in the last release. As well as some incredible new cover art by the wonderful @booogerbox, of thier own Character, Addie!

Long story short, I was going through some rough times when I released v2, and I let myself be pressured into adding or changing a lot of things in the class to make others happy, rather than sticking to what I wanted the class to be. It became a brick shithouse of barbarian, with all the added versatility of a wizard - and besides that being incredibly broken, it's never what the mutophage was meant to be.

V2.5 is no longer an inherently tanky class: yes, you still get a double d6 hit dice, but you aren't throwing out roided-up multiattacks every round, and you can't mutate yourself more resistances than a barbarian. The core idea behind my mutophage has always been to create a flexible alternative to the wizard, that didn't rely on magic. The Mutophage can be a brick wall of shear muscle and DPS, but it is not inherently so. It can also be built as a stealthy infiltrator, or a clever utility. But it cannot do all those things at once. It's not a one-man party anymore.

Some people will probably be grumpy that their god-build is no longer feasible. But those people are more than welcome to just stick to the older version. For the rest of us, this update provides a well-needed nerf and rebalance, to make the class playable alongside core content.

Fear the Rise of the Hollower V2 When I first created the Hollower Class, it was on commission, and inspired by discussions with two separate clients. Both wanted something focussed around the idea of darkness and shadows, and I myself had an interesting idea for a class that used status effects as an ability cost rather than a set number of points or spells lots. It was my second major homebrew, and while I was very happy with it at the time, even then I recognized that it was an experiment, and definitely had it’s flaws. I took it as a learning experience, and never planned to revisit the class. But some discussions with players and play testers struck me with a line of thinking that finally brought me back around.

There were always a few major issues with the hollower, mostly brought forth out of my own inexperience: Firstly, The split madness table seemed to give a lot of people trouble, and no one seemed to agree how it was meant to be used. Secondly, The First Subclass, which focussed around a black-whole like passive effect, had a fundamental flaw which made effectively unplayable. Thirdly, the Seed of Corruption Subclass was a nightmare to keep track of. What worked in theory made an absurd amount of work for the DM in practice. Finally, the originally class was tied inherently to a setting specific idea of “the void” which heavily limited its inclusion in other settings.

The Necroficer is my unique take on the idea of a Necromancer. Rather than relying on spell-casting and summoning, the Necroficer is built around the idea of crafting unique undead monsters that fight by your side. The Goal is to be More of a “Frankenstein Meets the Reanimator” than Classic Death-centered Mage. If that sounds interesting Please take a look!

Just Finished up My Alchemist Class! I have to give a Huge thank you to https://bloodshot9001.tumblr.com/, Who was gracious enough to let me work whit him on this one. We each have our own “final” version of this class, and his is available here

The Alchemist is based around crafting unique concoctions including potions, poisons, and bombs. It is designed to be a “Spell-less” alchemist, in response to the seeming overabundance of “Potion wizards” that seem to be so common.

I did this Seedling Race on commission for http://eternalgirlscout.tumblr.com/. It’s a hybrid Dryad-Halfling, and was a lot of fun to work on. A good break from one of the more intense projects I’ve been working through as of late.

A couple of Warlock patrons I am currently working on. I haven't worked everything out yet, but these patrons are both very distinct within the campaign setting I use for my games.
