What's so great about this book?

This resource is for players looking for awesome new classes and subclasses, as well as some really great lore that can be integrated right into any game. For example:

• Keepers of the Dead. A subclass and faction of clerics who study, hunt, and eliminate the undead. Their close study of the subject has been the undoing of many of these clerics who often find themselves within the shadows. One of the greatest enemies of the Keepers sits upon the Throne of Bones beneath the Skulltower in the Netherelm.
• Bloodsworn. A subclass and faction of barbarians who take oaths of honor and duty. To fail at an oath is to become ashamed and masterless. They are seekers of glory through great deeds and even greater sacrifices.
• Dragon Banners. Subclasses and factions for the fighter, ranger, and other a few other classes. A dragon banner is a subclass that is aligned with a named dragon, such as the Banner of Wyverthoom, a ranger subclass and faction. The members of each subclass and faction pledge their fealty to the mythic dragon or type of dragon there banner represents. In exchange for their loyalty, they gain supernatural powers reminiscent of the dragons they serve.
• Order of the Black Arrow. A faction of rangers who are committed to protecting troubled kingdoms and realms. They are leaders among men and champions of good over evil. They have, in ages past, banded together to lead armies against the dark tide of evil.

Multiclass Subclasses... What?

This resource really leans into multiclassing by replacing the normal subclasses a character would gain when multiclassing with a single subclasses! The effect is both to reign-in the overpowered nature of a multiclassed character, while providing it a creative, fun, and unique way to experience the world. There is the Bloodbeast (Barbarian/Druid), Skald (Barbarian/Sage), or Wandering Wizard (Druid/Wizard). Each brings a focus and energy to multiclassing that has been missing.

Skills and Tools Enhancements

This resource adds enhancements to skills and tools, better defining each skill and the relationhip those skills have with many of the tools available in the game. I guarantee you that players will not only better understand how to use each skill, but will clamor for more tools!
