Beasthood Injector

Wondrous item, very rareFor all of time, we have struggled to achieve the apex of mortal life; to push ourselves into the next stage of evolution. Who could have known that in order to go beyond our limits, we would need to harness the power of the seemingly lesser species of this world? With our highly advanced intellect, breaking through our physical limitations would solidify our position at the top of the evolutionary ladder. There will be fa...

Ranger: Slimehost [LINKS]

The very existence of a Slimehost seems to deny all logic. Rangers of this conclave have bonded themselves, body and brain, to a caustic ooze that lives symbiotically within them. Many cannot even explain the origin of their mysterious condition, but as their connection deepens the boundary between ranger and ooze becomes blurrier and blurrier. As their abilities grow mightier and weirder in turn, it seems hardly surprising that many remain wary ...

Druid: Circle of Seasons [LINKS]

The only constant is change; stagnation is the true death. Druids of the Circle of Seasons swear by this philosophy, embracing and celebrating change instead of resisting the inevitable. Just as winters pass to welcome new life and summers turn to crisp and cold, these druids are never in a state of rest. Wielding the essence of change itself, a druid of this circle is an ever shifting force of nature, never the same from one moment to the next.I...

Sorcerer: Adamant Soul [LINKS]

Glinting like stars in the dark caverns below, few things inspire awe like the crystalline forms of diamonds. Beauty and durability melded into one unyielding form, refracting and intensifying light into a magical kaleidoscope. One could only hope to emulate such enduring majesty.Whether by earthen ancestry or intense magical pressure, your soul has been hardened like a pure adamant gem, granting your mind and body supernatural resilience.

Fighter: Stance Master [LINKS]

Martial practice and training seeks to optimize the humanoid form, turning practitioners into deadly warriors. But Stance Masters understand that nature itself has already perfected this art, learning from the tactics of wild beasts fighting to survive every day. By incorporating aspects of these animals into their combat, these fighters become capable of feats beyond that of ordinary soldiers. To underestimate the natural world is a mistake one ...

Barbarian: Path of the Torrent [LINKS]

A barbarian embodies many things: strength, resilience, ferocity. And there exists no natural force that exemplifies those very same traits like the mighty seas. Gentle and serene one moment, tumultuous and devastating the very next. Barbarians who follow the Path of the Torrent draw inspiration from the ocean; flowing freely through the battlefield before crashing upon it suddenly and violently like a thundering wave, bowling their enemies over....

Wizard: Spymaster [LINKS]

Most arcane practitioners take great pride in their magical abilities, revelling in the respect and envy from those around them. Spymasters instead keep out of the spotlight, forgoing fame and fortune in favor of secrecy and espionage. Through an arsenal of duplicitous tactics, these wizards are capable of causing more damage overnight with their silver tongues and disguises than their peers could ever hope to with simple fireballs. By the time a...

Cleric: Revelry Domain [LINKS]

The enamoring power of food and drink ought not be underestimated for those who take on the mantle of adventurers. Followers of the Revelry Domain harness this magical power, channeling it to both keep their ally’s spirits afloat and overwhelm their foe’s faculties. Always the life of the party, these clerics can hold their own in a fight just as well as in a drinking contest, and are sure to be the last person standing either way. Rest is fo...

Subclass Spectacular [Part 1]

This month is going to be a little different. Over the years we've had many ideas for Subclasses to design for The Mithral Canvas, but we tend to save them for months where they fit our themes. As a result, we have a backlog of designs we've never released. With the advent of the new 2024 rules coming to the SRD, we felt we should at least have a subclass for each of the 12 official classes by that time. So for the next two months we'...

Usurper [LINKS]

Cutthroat Replacements with Tyrannical AmbitionThough grand crusades and boisterous warfare may galvanize the masses, the true battles happen in the shadows, where dagger and poison can end a conflict long before it comes to fruition. Armed with little more than its poisonous blades and an ever-warping body, a usurper can pose a greater threat to most organizations than any show of force.Mercurial Frame.

Negotiators for the Fiery DenizensAmidst the innumerable demons and devils that populate the lower planes, cinder brokers are a unique breed that choose to deal almost exclusively in business with elemental beings. Armed not only with impressive bulk and sharpened wits, these curious beings have an understanding of the Plane of Fire that suprasses almost any other.

Grave Grim [LINKS]

Guard Dogs of the LostWhen a cemetery lies undefended and vulnerable to graverobbers, or where restless spirits yearn for release, one will often find a Grave Grim. Taking the form of a partially spectral black hound, it adopts a mask of wax to form a more terrifying visage. Some speculate that the wax is from the candles diligently lit at graves, or perhaps formed from a solidified ectoplasm as a grim manifests from the veil. Regardless, their o...
