Level up your game and expand the possibilities of what adventurers can do with 12 original classes: Bloodweaver, Diabolist, Doctor, Exemplar, Feywalker, Freak, Gemini, Mad Scientist, Mechanic, Occultist, Scrapper, and Speedster!
After long enough clerics, fighters, rogues, and wizards become less like platforms to jump off of and more like highways with the same destinations. The Complete Class Compendium changes that, introducing a dozen new character classes to Level Up: Advanced Fifth Edition and D&D 2024 that expand what it means to be an adventurer!
Fresh Concepts For Trailblazing Adventurers
Each of these 12 classes dive deep into core concepts that the original offerings can't quite reach, introducing new mechanics and ways to play the game.
These agilewarriors are able to multiply themselves into semi-real duplicates both to confound foes and turn one blade into many—yet this miraculous ability is further defined by their archetype, each of them twofold.
Appendices in the back of the book add a host of goodies including Radiation, monsters, the smart walker lineage/species, dozens of items, a system for designing melee and ranged weapons, feats, spells, schools of magic, and rules forbuilding settlements.
Foundry VTT Support ($2 Add-On) These new classes are being put into Foundry Virtual Tabletop by the dedicated A5E-Foundry team!
Super Archetypes and Subclasses ($5 Add-On)
When the project reaches 100 pledges the PDFs for Super Archetypes and Super Subclasses are unlocked giving adventurers ways to be like Captain America, Spider-Man, the Fantastic 4, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and various X-Men.
Diehard Adventurers and Extraordinary Feats ($5 Add-On)
The Oblation cleric domain for those who seek to take on suffering to ease that of others, the Diehard fighter (which ya could call the Die Hard fighter 😉), and the Selfless Path adept/monk (dealing more damage by taking more damage). After that are feats to become like the Hulk or more of the X-Men (this time covering Colossus, Nightcrawler, Iceman, and Professor X).
Adventurers of Fortune and Affordable Enchantments ($5 Add-On)
Adventuring is always a gamble but never more so than for the Gambling Rager berserker/barbarian, College of Chance bard, Oath of Incidence herald/paladin, or Gambler rogue. After having a run of good luck when these adventurers are ample with coin there are 15 magic items—each less than 150 gold, filled with flavor but able to be destroyed for a more impactful effect—to spend some of that newfound money on.
Miraculous Adventurers ($5 Add-On)
9 more archetypes! The Rampaging Spirit berserker/barbarian binds nature's opposites together in their raging maelstroms, the College of the Miraculous bard bandies about luck like magic, Circle of Hell druids take on the shapes of fiends, Unrelenting fighters become juggernauts of battle, Sensei adepts/monks impart wisdom and expertise in kind, Oath of the Magebreaker heralds/paladins use divine power to scour the realm of arcanist heretics, Ghostwalker rogues dance the line between life and death, warlocks of the Sovereign patron aspire to become beings of pure magic, and Magic Conduit wizards truly unlock the power of scrolls and enchanted items.
After getting a round of fine-tuning and development from seasoned RPG designer Mike Myler, the talented team of Akeem Favor, Anthony Alipio, and Peter Martin added more to each of these classes from intriguing and rewarding creative features (expanding the social and exploration pillars of design) to downright quality improvements that stupid Mike overlooked.
Every member of the team brought skills honed from working on the original designs for Level Up: Advanced Fifth Edition to make this a book truly worthy of going onto the shelf of any Narrator (or GM).
Books will be printed and shipped by Lightning Source which has locations in Australia, Europe, and the USA. Using Lightning Source vastly decreases the amount and distance of shipping involved with standard publishing, and simplifies many of the complexities of international trade we are all currently mired in.
