It's looking quite good! Issues I see so far: - College of Scheherazade, not Scheheade - Circle of Oasis Ability: Succor, not Soccor - Dervish: Dune Tunnler ability should grant Tremorsense, not Blindsense All I see for now, Fantastic design work, as usual!

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the subclasses, some of them don't quite make sense thematically for me, and others just seem incomplete, like the Water Domain, or are far too weak compared to others, like the Tomb Robber. That being said, I do like a few of them, especially the Wizard school and Paladin oath.

Sorry you feel that way. In what way is the Water Domain incomplete?

Michael Mason

From what I can tell, it's missing weapon/armor proficiencies if it's going to be a divine strike using domain , which is a main reason that Trickery is not well liked. You could also turn it into a domain that gets Potent Spellcasting and give it an appropriate cantrip, like ray of frost or frostbite. You could also give it shape water as a free cantrip at level 1, since you're already using EE spells in the domain spells

2026-09-29 03:00 Got to test this with my group already; besides cases of abuse of the warlocks sand fabrication feature didn't seem to have anything too far off. Especially the items and monsters are well written, keep up the good work! Also: amazing artist you got there! Props to him :D

what kind of abuses are you speaking of exactly?

in the sphinx bloodline the target gets riddled but what exactly does the riddled condition do?

Mage Hand Press

Riddled is the effect which immediately follows this statement in the text: On each of its turns, the creature must spend its action reattempting this saving throw, ending the effect on a success.

seeing how you kind of did the 5e edition of the sandstorm (desert) book from 3.5. Have you thought of doing the same for the Frostburn (artic) book?
