SACRED OATH: SOHEI

Here is the second class for Oriental Adventures the iconic sohei. Much like the samurai I decide to make this a paladin Oath path as opposed to an entirely separate class.  I believe this works better.  The sohei spells are all unique to the sohei to add more flavour (and I have just included summaries, not full descriptions here).

CHARACTER RACE: SPIRIT FOLK

Continuing our foray into the lands of Oriental Adventures we have the Spirit Folk – a new character race for any Asian Fantasy Setting for D&D 5e.  I was inspired after playing Fire Emblem Fates to re-read all the 1e, 2e and 3e Oriental Adventures material which further stirred me to update some of the races and classes for 5e.    […]

HOUSE RULE: MORALE

I quite liked the old 1e morale system for monsters.  It works quite well for pack/mob type creatures like kobolds.  Here is a quick rule you can use to simulate that old rule in 5e. Once at least one of a groups of monsters number is defeated, the adventurers can compel them to submit with a […]
