Aurixs Compendium of the Peculiar Sort (5e)
Dark Patrons¸ Solemn sacrifice¸ Corpulent Gifts¸ and other eldritch motifs are penned here in the eponymous collection of writings by the inscrutable adventurer Aurix. Little is known of this hale adventurer save the assemblage of writings they penned while ostensibly investigating things arcane¸ sinister¸ and utterly un-wholesome. One can only imagine how much of their soul was liquidated to bring us this taboo enlightenment. Included within is a selection of subclasses designed with the dynamic counterpoints of Dire Power and Great Cost in mind. Whether it be the sacrifice of forfeit hitpoints¸ or reduction in ability scores¸ each calamitous entry brings its own consequences to the table. The end result is an increase in compelling mechanics and provocative storytelling opportunities. These subclasses are designed for use in any dnd 5e setting and were created for Clerics¸ Paladins¸ Warlocks (including a new pact)¸ Sorcerers¸ and Barbarians. Additionally¸ a few invocations have been included¸ for traditional Patrons as well as the new Pact and Patron.
