Species: Chronal Dragonborn

We already have chromatic, metallic, and gem dragonborns in D&D 5e, so it was definitely about "time" to bring a time dragonborn ancestry into the game.

Chronal dragonborn trace their bloodline to the enigmatic time dragons, acting as ageless servants of the draconic god of fate, time, and judgment, Null, better known by his neutral aspect, Chronepsis the Watcher. Instead of the vibrant colors of their cousins, these dragonborns bear faded scales of pale grey, ashen white, and silver. They carry an eerie patience and a quiet certainty, acting as if the flow of time worked differently through their bodies and allowing them to pluck at the strands of destiny to alter immediate outcomes.

What class or subclass would you choose to pair with an ageless watcher of fate? Also, if you would want to see the solar dragonborn next, let me know down below!

Cleric Subclass: Hunt Domain

The gods of the hunt have always watched over the wilds, guiding those who track and strike with precision, so I crafted a domain that captures this ancient calling. It's one of those subclasses I kind of understand but not at the same time why it hasn't been updated into D&D 5e/2024 from the old 3.5 days, especially with so many great examples of hunting deities in mythology and the lore of the Forgotten Realms.

This takes a different route from what the ranger class handles, so if you are looking to play a cleric who serves as a divine archer, using a ranged weapon as your holy symbol and creating your own hunting ground, this subclass is for you. It blends divine magic with the precision of a hunter, perfect for followers of Artemis, Mielikki, or Malar.

Ring of the Righteous Path Ring, Rare (requires attunement)

When a lone paladin held the mountain pass against an endless tide of fiends for three days without rest, a fragment of that unyielding virtue seeped into the gold and glowing lapis lazuli of this ring. The labyrinth carved into its surface tightens around your finger the moment you slip it on, binding you to the cause of justice and demanding a soul aligned with law and good.

Who in your party would wear this, knowing it will reshape their will in exchange for being able to hurl a spear of pure celestial light?

Warlock Subclass: The Rat King

Beneath the floorboards of every major city lies a network of secrets that most people overlook, so created a patron who rules over this hidden domain. The Rat King is a collective consciousness formed by the vermin of the underworld, making it the perfect patron for an urban setting where information is more valuable than money.

If you are looking to play as the ultimate infiltrator without multiclassing into rogue, turning local vermin into your personal spy network, this subclass is perfect for you. It provides the tools to thrive in the dark corners of the world, blending stealth and psionic influence to ensure you always know more than your enemies.

Monster: Hoardwraith (CR 16, Huge Undead Dragon)

When a dragon's greed is so strong and it refuses to let go of its gold even in death, its spirit seeps into the coins and gems until the entire treasure pile rises up as a single vengeful draconic entity. These undead dragons float through walls, remember the exact spot of every copper piece, and exhale a ghostly flame that drains the strength of anyone in the area. I just hope that one greedy rogue in the group doesn't pocket anything shiny from a hoardwraith's lair, or they will not be able to sleep as the whispers of this spectral dragon follow them across the planes until they bring it back.

I can totally see a hoardwraith turning a simple dragon lair raid into the kind of nightmarish session your party will still be talking about weeks later. —

Wizard Subclass: School of Malediction

Following the decaying path of the knight, this second week I am reimagining the classic mage archetype. Instead of scholars studying safely in pristine towers and libraries, the School of Malediction wizards venture into collapsed temples and forbidden crypts, deliberately exposing themselves to ancient curses that most heroes try to avoid. Their mere presence feels deeply unsettling, causing candle flames to gutter without wind and mirrors to reflect things that are not there.

These spellcasters understand that a curse is a living entity, older and far more potent than any traditional spell. They willingly absorb this corrupting magic into their own flesh, acting as hollow vessels to redirect that same suffering outward to strike down their enemies.

What kind of ancient sin or forbidden bargain has left a permanent mark on your wizard, and how is it warping their body and mind?

Druid Subclass: Circle of the Gourmand

Most druids protect the balance of nature through peaceful guardianship. The Circle of the Gourmand believes that the most intimate way to honor the wild is to participate in its most fundamental cycle: consumption.

These druids look at a fallen monstrosity and see nothing but a five-course meal. Rather than using Wild Shape to transform into a typical beast, they prepare the remains of slain aberrations, dragons, and beasts into elaborate primal dishes. By consuming these meals, they absorb the creatures' essence, mutating their own bodies to manifest terrifying traits. All the while, they serve as the personal chef of your adventuring party, nourishing them with the spoils of your latest hunt.

The dungeon is your personal pantry, and every combat encounter is an opportunity to gather ingredients for your next recipe. Which monster would you like to taste first?
