Maybe it's because I used to teach in a classroom so have developed the diplomatic tact to say "no" when invalidating what someone says "it's on the internet" but I don't know why DMs find saying no to a player wanting to use a PC option that the DM is not familiar with and of dubious origin. If the content on these website is impacting your game, if you're the DM it's your prerogative to limit your game to the content, official and unofficial, allowed for character options, etc. I don't know whether WotC would invest much in pursuing people who are disseminating old UA (like the mystic) which WotC has freely available. It's just taken down here per an agreement between DDB and WotC. Old UA is actually freely available on WotC website, they never really take it down. This is why some many third party books say "For the world greatest role playing game" or so such verbiage. ![]() No one can stop someone posting homebrew, though there are some rights to saying "Dungeons and Dragons" or using the D&D ampersand which could be claimed (but again, probably wouldn't go further than a cease and desist letter). However, there are portions of the rules, the SRD I think it's called, which are "open source" and free to publish as I understand it and use it for the basis of unofficial homebrew or third party publications. It's a thing, and as other posters have pointed out it can be reported and it's up to whether Wizards/Hasbro wants to do anything more than a cease and desist notice. Ok, I think you're saying earlier in your post that your upset with D&D Piracy. Barbarian Primal Pathįeatures are Supernatural Gifts, Optional Class Features, sorcerer Metamagic options, Fighting Styles, and similar customization options.2 on those sites often homebrew and old UAs are on pair with official content and some of my players feel entitled to play Mystic or some idiotic homebrew feat cause of those goddammn wikis. This section also includes some revised classes. This guideline also includes using precedented wording, such that it matches published material as closely as possible. ![]() This is easier than ever with tools such as the Homebrewery and GM Binder however, using your own templates and tradesuits is certainly acceptable and completely fine for this list. AppearanceĪ homebrew should generally attempt to match the appearance and style of officially published material. SimplicityĪ homebrew that is too complex for play ceases to be in line with the simpler mechanics of 5th Edition, and homebrews should strive to be easy to understand and operate. Strive to not surpass or fall under that power scale. The core rulebooks set the standard for how strong a game feature should be. BalanceĪ homebrew that is unbalanced (too powerful or too weak) can upset the fun and enjoyment of people at a gaming table. If a class or subclass doesn't meet the Player's Handbook established bar for class or subclass identity, it should either attempt to do so, or become a subclass or a feat (or something else, in some cases). IdentityĪ homebrew that falls short of a solid identity for its intention, usually a class or a subclass, should either strengthen its identity or be streamlined into a smaller piece of brew. Strive to match published material closely. This covers all aspects of a creation, including wording, mechanical design, and presentation. What Makes a Good Brew? Core RulebooksĪ homebrew that deviates significantly from the standards of the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master's Guide ceases to hold up to model of 5th Edition. ![]() We also have other event from time to time that provide creators the opportunity to get their creations added. If you'd like to see your brew added to the list, check out our guide to the Monthly Homebrew Review to learn about the most common way brews get added to the list. This list is ever-growing and changing, so if your homebrew is not here, it may added be some time in the future. ![]() Hello everybody! This is an extensive list of high-quality homebrew that's been posted to r/UnearthedArcana.
