In the past few months, I have been working on revamped classes for DnD5e for personal use. This is my revamped Fighter, which I’ve played in a (still ongoing) campaign for the past few months and had a blast with.
Unfortunately, with DnD 2024 approaching, I see very little incentive in working on this still. I don’t even think people will be interested in trying it with the new rules. I don’t like DnD 2024 and the 2024 Fighter looks bland and boring to me, so I’ll keep playing this one instead, but I don’t see myself updating it further in the future unless I find a really broken combo that needs addressing.
So, this is kind of the end, and it’s a bit bittersweet to me.
Please, enjoy :)

You made a fantastic effort regardless, and I love the art and presentation in your work!
Best of luck finding something nice you can make in the 2024 edition!
Thank you for the kind words!
I have no rush to try 2024 atm. I guess I’ll see what happens when the current campaign with my group ends. By that time the Monster Manual will surely be out and we’ll have a better understanding of how balanced the entire game is.
Since I’ll probably be the DM next time, we’ll probably stick to homebrewed 5e. I’ve been itching for a while to use your playable dragons for a family of BBEG dragons.
Oooh, very nice! Which classes are you thinking?
LINDAR - Justiciar Unholy Ravager
spoiler
Lindar never flaps her wings too far away from her twin, Useni. Despite their differences, the two are inseparable and often act and think as one. While her brother delights in weaving a web of deceit and treachery around his prey, Lindar relies on her powers to face threats head-on. By combining their strengths and offsetting their weaknesses, the twins are formidable opponents to even the most seasoned party of heroes.
USENI - Stalker Living Myth
spoiler
Useni never flaps his wings too far away from his twin, Lindar. Despite their differences, the two are inseparable and often act and think as one. While his sister relies on brute strength, Useni prefers to approach things at his own pace, setting traps, illusions and wearing down his foes through cunning tactics. By combining their strengths and offsetting their weaknesses, the twins are formidable opponents to even the most seasoned party of heroes.
BAKARI - Guardian Detached Watcher
spoiler
Bakari is the odd one out. He departed from the nest centuries ago to wander the world in solitude. He rarely can be bothered to intervene in matters of importance, largely acting as a passive spectator of history. Still, he knows a lot more than he lets on, and he will attempt to thwart his family’s plans by aiding the party in some critical moments, for what is there to see in a world that lies in ruins? Unfortunately, his help often comes in the form of cryptic advice… although he may have some rare artifacts to spare that he has found in his travels.
DEVLIN - Rampager Worldbreaker
spoiler
The oldest of the bunch and Asher’s second-in-command. He once despised his siblings and departed the nest. Amiable and charismatic, he joined the elves and was welcomed among them, who gave him the name of Alvar. But in the heat of war, his affable personality quickly gave way to an insatiable bloodlust, which he believed to be his father’s curse, and from which he attempted to run away from. When war reached him, he fought bravely to protect his allies, but ended up unleashing destruction upon friends and foes alike, ultimately causing the death of the Elven King. Shunted off by his former allies, he let rage consume him, razed their cities, and returned to his nest. Expecting Asher’s wrath, he was instead welcomed with open arms. From that moment on, he became her shadow, following her orders passively as long as she allowed him to spill blood.
ASHER - Basara Annihilator
spoiler
With a keen intellect and a thirst for power, Asher, the second hatch of the nest, has always been ambitious. When she was only a few centuries old, she devised a daring plan to infiltrate her father’s lair - an ancient wyrm of untold powers. Using her cunning intellect, she managed to outwit him, ultimately killing him and taking over his territory. Smart and manipulative, she recognized her father’s solitary nature as his biggest weakness and decided to keep her siblings close and loyal to her through a mix of fear, respect, and genuine care - for there’s nothing more powerful than a dragon, except for a bunch of dragons.
I love them! They sound like they’ll be quite the terrifying bunch to go up against!
My DM skills are a bit rusty, so I hope I’ll be able to pull it off!
