This is still sketches. If you'd like to try any of there options, talk to the GM.

Artificer

Revision Sketch for Entire Class

• Artificer (5A)

Alchemist

• Infuse Item You can create infusions of all potions (including magical oils), creating two potions instead of one normal infusion. At level 3 you can create common potions. At level 6 you can also create uncommon potions. At level 10 you can also create rare potions. At level 14 you can also create very rare potions. If there is a variable effect other than damage or healing (such as a Potion of Resistance) you determine the result.
• Alchemical Savant [Revision] Your bonus is your Intelligence modifier plus your Proficency Bonus. [Clarification] The bonus can apply to multiple targets but the aspect of the spell (damage type, healing) that gets the bonus is the same against all targets.
• Experimental Elixir [Revision] You can create Experimental Elixirs at the end of a long or short rest. All Experimental Elixirs you have created become inert when you make new ones. [Clarification] Drinking an Experimental Elixir is the same type of action as drinking a potion. You roll the effect of each Experimental Elixir as it is created, and you know the effect of each.
• Alchemical Proficiency [New] You are proficient in substances used as weapons, such as acid, alchemist's fire, and holy water. You can apply your Alchemical Savant bonus to the first damage from each substance used.

Armorer

Arcane Armor

• [Clarification] You can turn a suit of magical armor into Arcane Armor. Any magic on the suit of armor you use continues to function, but other abilities are determined by your choice of Arcane Armor.
• You can add infusions to your Arcane Armor, but when effects overlap only the best effect of the infusion or the armor (including effects from magical armor) applies
• Thunder Gauntlets When you use the Attack action with a Thunder Gauntlet on your turn, you can use a bonus action to make an additional attack with your other Thunder Gauntlet, provided you have both hands free.

Artillerist

• Eldrich Cannon: At 9th level, you can choose two options from the eldtich cannon table. The Eldrich Cannon can only use one of these abilities each time you activate it. At 15th level, your Eldrich Cannon can use all three abilities.
• Explosive Cannon The 1d8 increase to damage also applies to temporary hit points granted.

Barbarian

Berserker

The exhaustion caused by frenzy is recovered at the rate of one level of exhaustion per minute. If you rage again without recovering your exhaustion, it is suppressed while raging, but at the end of the rage the levels of exhaustion stack.

Storm Herald

Storm aura does not require an action to continue the aura used on the turn before.

New Sub-Classes

• Giant Weapon Wielder (5A)

Cleric

Overpowered domains: Peace, Twilight.

Druid

Moon Druid

Needs to have the challenge rating of wild shape revised. This is a guesstimate:

Level	2	3	4-5	6 or more
Challenge	1/4	1/2	1	Level/2

Fighter

Arcane Archer

Arcane Shot (7) You gain an additional use of Arcane Shot when you reach certain levels in this class: 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.

Ever-Ready Shot (15) Starting at 15th level, your magical archery is available whenever battle starts. When you roll initiative you regain one use of Arcane Shot, not to exceed your normal maximum.

Cavalier

Unwavering Mark (3) and Warding Maneuver (7) has unlimited uses.

Champion

Improved Critical (3) When you score a critical, you also gain an additional attack. If on your turn and you have remaining movement, you can move between these attacks normally.

Echo Knight

This looks just too good and needs a hit of the nerf bat.

Purple Dragon Knight

In Greyhawk this fits the royal guards of many countries.

Rallying Cry (3) Add your Charisma bonus to the number of hit points you and each ally you chose for this feature recover.

Inspiring Surge (11) You and each ally you chose for Rallying Cry get this benefit. For you, this attack is a bonus action and not a reaction.

Bulwark (15) Beginning at 15th level, when one or more allies within 60 ft. fails a saving throw against the same effect, you can use your Indomitable feature and apply it to yourself and up to three allies all affected by the same effect.

New Sub-Classes

• Elemental Elite (5A)

Monk

Martial Arts

• When using the martial arts die, roll 2 dice instead of one.
• When using a monk ability that is not a martial arts attack and that does damage, add the (doubled) martial arts die to the damage inflicted.

Ki

• When you spend an action to take the Dodge action you recover all spent ki points. You cannot do this unless you spend your action on the turn to Dodge, othwer ways of dodging, such as Patient Defense, do not count.
• Patient Defense and Step Of The Wind do not require any action, only Ki.

Perfect Self At 20th level, when your turn begins, you regain 4 ki points up to your normal maximum.

Revision Sketches for the Entire Class

• Monk
• Treantmonk's Revised monk

Way of Mercy

Does not work with the revised Ki recovery rules here. If not using these rules, this is one of the few recommended monk subclasses.

Way of the Four Elements

At 6th, 11th, and 17th level you learn a new discipline whose level requirement is half your monk level or lower. This also applies to the Way of the One Element (5A) mod, below.

Way of Tranquility

Does not work with the revised Ki recovery rules here. If not using these rules, this is one of the few good monk subclasses.

New Sub-classes

• Way of the One Element (5A)
• Primeval (5A)

Ranger

With the changes in Tasha's, ranger is now a working class.

Tools: Herbalism Kit.

Skills: Choose four from Animal Handling, Athletics, Insight, Investigation, Nature, Perception, Stealth, and Survival.

Or check out Treantmonk's Ranger.

Hunter Conclave

You get all options at each level instead of having to choose one.

Rogue

Uncanny Dodge (modification) Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you. As long as you are conscious after the triggering attack you may immediately make a weapon attack against that enemy. Until the start of your next turn you take half damage from all attacks (this includes all attacks that do attack rolls, not automatic effects or those saved against).

Evasion (modification) Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as an ancient red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. As long as you are conscious after the triggering attack, you can take a reaction to make a weapon attack on the creature that triggered your saving throw.

Blindsense (Addition 14 ) You do not suffer disadvantage when attacking a creature you cannot see within 10 feet of you

Arcane Trickster

As an option, you can have Charisma as your casting ability, selecting spells from the sorcerer spell list. This comes with some distinguishing trait, such as odd eyes, a remarkable birthmark, or the like.

Assassin

Infiltration Expertise (9) In addition, whenever you make an ability check to create a disguise or to deceive a creature by assuming a false identity and roll less than 10 on the d20, calculate the result as if you rolled a 10. Your passive value for these checks increase by 5.

Poisoner (13) This replaces Impostor. At 13th level, you have learned how to create and use poisons as a master assassin. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can use a poisoner's kit to create a deadly poison. The creation may be an ingested or injury poison (your choice) and lasts for 24 hours or until used. Once you create a poison this way, you may not do so again until you complete a long rest.

Assassin's Death (Ingested or Injury): A creature subjected to this poison must make a Constitution saving throw DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. On a failed save the creature takes 1d12 damage for every 5 levels you have in this class and gains the poisoned condition for one minute. If the poison is ingested, the creature is also incapacitated while poisoned this way. If the saving throw is successful, the creature takes one half damage and suffers no additional effects.

Conjurer

Improved Familiar (replacement) Starting at 2nd level, you add the find familiar spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. If you already know the find familiar spell, you may choose another wizard conjuration spell of 1st level instead.

• If your familiar has an Intelligence of 5 or less, its Intelligence becomes 6, and it gains the ability to understand one language of your choice that you speak.
• If your familiar is about to take damage, you can dismiss your familiar immediately as a reaction, causing it to disappear. You may have it reappear as an action anywhere within 30 feet of you.
• You can communicate telepathically with your familiar and perceive through your familiar’s senses as long as you are on the same plane of existence.

Evoker

Potent Cantrip (addition) The same applies when you miss an attack with a cantrip.

Transmuter

Shapechanger (replacement) At 10th level, you add the polymorph spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. If you already have the polymoprh spell, you may select another wizard transmutation spell of up to 5th level. You can cast polymorph without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can target only yourself and your concentration on the spell cannot be broken as a result of taking damage. Once you cast polymorph in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.

Warlock

All warlocks gain proficiency with medium armor.

All warlocks learn the Eldrich Blast cantrip in addition to other cantrips.
