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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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 s...

Hydrangle [LINKS]

Hungering Thistles on the Roll

Appearing as little more than a bundle of dried sticks and vines, a hydrangle is a fearsome predator that few recognize until it’s too late. Those unaware of its true nature are blindsided by the creature’s disguise, but those who know what to expect have come...

Guard Dogs of the Lost

When 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 tha...
