Hey folks! It took WAY too long to get this out, but it's finally done. Well, technically it isn't done, but I'll get to that in a bit. One weird thing that needs explanation at a time.
So, as one can tell, I didn't just make statblocks for the behemoths, write some lore, and call it a day. I've discovered that I really don't like making statblocks and dealing with all the nonsense that comes with it (CR is a joke, and I'm not laughing). So, in typical Foundry fashion, I tried doing something weird that requires more work and ultimately still required me to make statblocks anyway. Yeah, I'm not smart. 
So I made them templates instead. And while I was tempted to give up and just do the obvious thing since I was just going to end up with stats anyway, making them templates makes a certain amount of sense from a lore perspective and I genuinely think is an interesting idea worth pursuing. Quick lore tidbit, behemoths are likely the result of normal creatures becoming mutated by aether (it's not certain, but there are signs of this origin from what I've read), so a template makes logical sense. So, as long as I pick appropriate creatures for the template examples, the end result will get you pretty close to the behemoths in game. Sure, they're not perfect, but it would be easy to tweak them to better suit your game.
So the other behemoth in the room is there are only 3 behemoths here. I had intended on releasing them all at once. Turns out there's like 30+ behemoths AND 5 basically legendary behemoths. So, I'm splitting them up into their elemental categories, and the legendaries by themselves. I already have the Blaze behemoths written out, so those won't take nearly as long. As I complete each category, I'll update this post and make y'all aware of the additions. By the end, I'll have one document with all of them in it, a brew to rival Flesh & Bone. 
But for now, a quick break to work on something else my ADHD has compelled me to rework. Stay tuned for that. Anyway, stay safe, don't forget to love each other, and I'll see you next time.

✨New item!✨ Shattered Revenant Blade Weapon (dagger/longsword), very rare (requires attunement)
The jagged edge of this shattered longsword can be used as a dagger. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to cause a ghostly blade to appear, allowing it to be used as a longsword, or make the blade disappear. You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon and, if you are proficient with daggers or longswords, you are proficient with it.
While the ghost blade exists, this magic longsword gains the following properties:
The ghost blade borrows your life essence to manifest itself. You take necrotic damage equal to one roll of your hit die and your hit point maximum is reduced by that amount while the blade exists. This damage cannot be reduced in any way. 
It sheds 20 feet of dim light, has the finesse property, and deals necrotic damage instead of slashing damage. Attacks with this longsword ignore resistance and immunity to necrotic damage if the target is undead.
On a hit, you can force the target to make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage and becomes enfeebled for 1 minute. While enfeebled, the target has disadvantage on Strength checks and saving throws, and deals only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength. At the end of each of the target's turns, it can remake the save, ending the enfeeblement on a success. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to the effect for 24 hours.
You can see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane and can make attacks with this sword against creatures on that plane.
As an action while holding this weapon, you can cast the etherealness spell. Once this property is used, it cannot be used again until you complete a long rest.
The shattered blade lay untouched and forgotten for hundreds of years. Sundered in desperate battle, the spirit of its fallen owner lingers as a hungry revenant. Whoever wields the sword now can feed it their own life essence to evoke a ghostly semblance of its former shape. Perhaps finding the shards and reforging the blade will release the revenant and restore its power…

The first drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragon.  If one wants to learn how to play 5th Edition D&D or see a way how the game can be played, then you might want to tune into the Dungeon Dudes YouTube channel. Link

Alright, time to actually post on this site!
I started a small project to homebrew a subclass for all 13 DnD classes, working my way to releasing all 13 as a full codex. For now, I'm hoping to release one every week, though since my focus is about as steady as a seesaw on a fault line, the timeline is rough.
I'll start by posting my Barbarian subclass: The Path of Impulse! This is for anyone who wants to play a barbarian that uses other emotions to battle! Mechanically, it focuses on versatility over specialization.
Have fun! Let me know if you have any concerns, or if you have any insights from playtesting!

Finally, was starting to think I'd never get anything released! Y'all ready to ROCK?!
Now, just to get this out of the way, I was really hoping to have something else done for y'all by now, that thing being the update to Flesh and Bone I mentioned in my last update post. Mechanically, it's done and has been for a while, and I'm VERY pleased with how it's coming along. However, it's proving to be a frustrating challenge to get it formatted with artwork that doesn't look awful. So, I took a much-needed break to work on something else and it's going on the back burner. It'll be out when it's out.
So what's this new thing I bring before you this day? With my main D&D campaign wrapping up, I've been working on a absolute TON of custom stuff for a new character, so that's taken up a lot of my creative energy. Now that we've had our first session and my work is done, I can pretty it up for y'all!
As one may surmise, I'm playing a heavy metal bard, so I put this together based on a combination of an existing college of metal I found on D&Dwiki and Matt Mercer's college of the maestro. The metalheads among you may have also noticed that yes, each feature and solo are named after metal songs, a lot of bangers too. Having run a combat with it, I'm already really happy with it mechanically and since it's my newest character it will be getting LOTS of playtesting. 
Another thing to mention is the little sidebar at the end. For this campaign I'm playing the 2024 playtest version of the new bard so that's what this was originally built for.  However, since most won't be playing it, I reworked it for the existing bard and added a way to "update" it for the new one for those who want it. For future content I would like to do something similar depending on how extensive the changes are, but we'll see how things shake out.
Anyway, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. A little sparse in the art department, but I think the theme I picked does a lot to carry it. Plus, I genuinely couldn't come up with anything that looked better, so hey, I'm not gonna let perfect be the enemy of done.
Anyway, that's all I got for now. So glad to actually be working on stuff again. Stay safe, don't forget to love each other, and I'll see you again soon.

My default player character going back to 3.5, Mr Normal Man, a human Paladin of Bahamut. I picked Bahamut back then since White and Blue fucks as a combo and I like Dragons. Mr. Man has had several miniatures over the years, this is his most recent iteration as a DMpc to play support. It was my first shot at a lava style fire sword too, which I think looks nifty

✨New item!✨ Pocket Sand  Wondrous item, uncommon 
This small pouch contains enough fine sand to fill your hand. It magically refills itself daily at dawn. As an action, you can grab a handful of sand and throw it at a creature within 5 feet of you. That creature must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.

Creating a Thematic Bard
Tumblr media
Through Bardic Magical Secrets, any Bard can pick up any 6-8 spells of their choosing depending on their subclass. I thought I’d go through some thematic options for a Bard to choose from to cater to different themes and archetypes the Bard aspires to do.

 And of course, you can always mix and match. Going for a Fire Dragon theme? Mix the Pyrodancer and A Dance of Dragons spell lists. As an example:
LOVE AMONG THE DRAGONS 6th Dragon’s Breath, Fireball 10th Flame Strike, Summon Draconic Spirit 14th Investiture of Flame, Draconic Transformation 18th Illusory Dragon, Meteor Swarm
These are all the bard themes I could think of, but if you can think of some more that I missed, or have better suggestions for some of my choices, let me know your own thematic magical secrets builds. Obviously, these were made with the Lore Bard in mind, since it gets the most magical secrets, but I’m sure some synergize better with other bard types, such as Song of War with the College of Valor. I just used Lore as the default. How well do these magical secrets builds work for you?
