So, my D&D party asked me if I had ever considered creating some Cleric divine domains based on deities from Indian Mythology and how cool it would be if such a thing existed! This is what came of that little question. 

Sky Domain: Garuda is a great winged bird who constantly travels between the various planes of existence. Born into slavery to the snake-people, he won back his freedom by traveling to the realm of the gods, defeating their best warriors, extinguishing a terrible wall of flame, devouring two powerful snakes, and retrieving the nectar of immortality. But having taken this divine nectar, Garuda was never tempted to taste it. The king of the gods, impressed by the Garuda’s sense of honor and duty, offered his friendship, and once the great bird had won back his freedom from the snake people, stole it back from them.
Garuda promotes the ideals of detachment, freedom, duty, exploration, strength, self development and a generally hermitic life.

Air Domain: Hanuman is a powerful monkey deity born to the wind god Vaayu. He was one of the generals in the army of the warrior-king Rama, where he performed many miraculous deeds during his service, including but not limited to: crossing the entire ocean in a single bound, infiltrating the demon kingdom in disguise, finding Rama's kidnapped wife Sita, destroying numerous demons single-handedly, burning down the demon city of Lanka while tied up and with his tail on fire, and retrieving the entire Dronagiri mountain in his search for the mystical Sanjeevani herb.
Hanuman promotes the ideals of humility, duty, strength, justice, mercy and self development.

An assassin jumps out of a window into a crowd, the guards follow but it is too late, the assassin has already disguised themselves as someone else and vanished into the crowd.

A bugbear strikes a seemingly helpless gnome, but before the bugbear can react, the gnome leaps out of the way, leaving a gout of flame in it's place.

A half elf is transported to the astral plane where his furious patron awaits him, commanding him to fufill his end of the bargain bringing to the patron the blood of the innocents. The half elf pulls out a bucket of cows blood and says simply, "I already have."

Not all rogues rely on their own finely trained skills, there are some who seek pacts with extraplanar beings in exchange for power. Left unchecked these rogues often swindle their patrons out of their power and even find creative loopholes out of the bargain they have struck. While the deal is still in place, however, these rogues act as the silent hand of their patron.

The Pact Breaker is a new archetype for the rogue class that focuses on giving the class an occult play option. By making a pact with a patron a pact breaker gains eldritch magic, and infuses this magic into their dodges and strikes.

Here is a class that I was thinking for a while.  I wanted another divine caster but didn't think of how to do it for a while.  I always thought that the cleric was a little too close to a warrior in some ways with stuff like their armor proficiency.

I might come back and work with the lore a bit more in the future.  However for now I think that it is alright.  I eventually would feel better if the lore covered a whole page.

I still need to play test it because it is still something of a beta.

This is a module designed for one player and a DM. It can be scaled for more than one character. It is ideal to have a third level character. 

"Y've never heard of Eris, cutter? Not surprised. It's the kind of place that finds you, not the other way 'round. But if you do manage to make your way there one day, tell Big Jim that I still haven't forgiven him for the way things went down on Avalas..." -Corl Kol'chakk, former member of the "Night Stalkers"

Welcome to Eris, headquarters of the Concordant Opposition Society and general hive of scum and ambivalent villainy! This city, known colloquially as the Golden Apple, is meant to be used with the Concordant Opposition Society organized play rules (https://www.dmsguild.com/product/265321/The-Concordant-Opposition-Society-Core-Rules), but if you're just looking for a planar base of operations, Eris may just be the setting for you! By default, it's set on the Outlands, but it can just as easily be incorporated into your campaign as a private demiplanar base of operations.

With this Guide, you can uncover the secret of Transcendent Harmonization, untangle the mystery of traveling on the Outlands, and get a local's knowledge of the Golden Apple's layout.  The Guide also includes one (1) map of the general overlay of the city. As more of the city's lore is fleshed out in our ongoing campaign, this Guide will be updated accordingly.

Enjoy!

When gods and goddesses descend to the Material Plane, they are often struck with the whim of romance––and demigods are the result. This content pack includes 7 detailed demigods, each with a page-long summary of history, traits, and ideals, and a full stat block. Includes:

This is a new character background option for D&D 5e meant for characters that have lived most of their life already and are just now going on adventures. If you ever wanted to play an old character, this might be your chance!

I formed this Oath for a home game where another player wanted to be a gunslinger paladin and have his Oath affect his abilities as a gun-wielding combatant. They liked the idea I gave so I am posting it here for others to possibly pick up to enjoy.

It is written not as a standalone, in that the existence of guns within the world you are playing in, should be discussed first with your DM, but we are using Matthew Mercer's gun Slinger Fighter Archetype PDF that introduces rules for firearms, crafting and using them. The rest of the Oath is to give the class flavor of a holy warrior and creator who uses his creations (The guns) to bring justice through fire and smoke born from powder and steel.

This Option gives the paladin who chooses it the proficiencies to create and use firearms, rules that could vary from table to table so doesn't contain its own rules for gun creation and stats. It also offers the paladin the option to change their fighting style from the one they chose at level 2 to archery, an option they don't normally have but that fits the gun user theme. From there I built the oath on the structure of other oaths theming it toward ranged and gun-related combat, with Oath Spells pulled from the ranger for the added range capabilities.

I tried to balance the class by not allowing the use of Divine Smite on all attacks, but still offering the option to do so through the Channel Divinity ability, Divine Arsenal.

For the Paladin Aura granted by the Oath I wanted something that would fit to make the Paladin dominant in shootouts, but would also be helpful somewhat in melee conflicts, so their Aura of Steel grants resistance to Piercing damage, the most common form of Ranged damage.

Then as the Oath feature aligned with the fighter Archetype feature in level, and because our group is using Matthew Mercer's rules for Firearms as our games base, I made the level 15 ability a mirror of the Gunslinger's level 15 granting the ability to reload the Paladin's Firearms as a bonus action, this, however, could be changed if your game has firearms that are more powerful per shot but take longer to reload, but reducing the time required to reload by a good degree. I.E. if the guns in your game do 6d6 Piercing but take 3 rounds to load, Perhaps make it 1 round to load when the paladin gets this ability.

Lastly, the Creme de la Creme the Level 20 oath ability that allows the Paladin to become an embodiment of the oath they swore at level 3 I went in a direction to make them the most dangerous of foes in a shoot out scenario with a thick obscuring smoke spreading from the paladin that they and their allies can see through and which damages enemies that stand within it while completely obscuring the Paladin and their allies without harming them. Beyond that, the paladin is allowed to just keep pulling the trigger as their gun becomes magically loaded for the duration and they gain the ability to fire their weapon as a bonus action.

So keep in mind about the level 20 ability that all of the level 20 abilities for Paladins seem a bit overwhelming from the top.

I will say that when I offered this at first the player was disheartened that there was no connection to the trick shots of the gunslinger, but with after reminding them that while the fighter gets second wind extra attacks and extra ability score improvements, the paladin gets magic, including but not limited to a magical mount and powerful smites that activate on their next successful attack.

This is a one page module, it is meant to be added with modules that have guns in it already. This is the rule set to allow for RWBY-esk transforming melee weapons that are also guns.

While half-elves of any kind are not that common, it is rarer still to see the child of a human and a drow. The drow are a vicious, reclusive culture, xenophobic at best, and so it takes unusual circumstances to result in half-drow children.

Some half-drow do not appear much different to other half-elves, though you may notice them to be slightly light-sensitive. They tend to keep the very pale eyes of their drow side. Skin tones tend to be dark though less grey in tones than full drow. Those half-drow who also have pale hair tend to be the easiest to identify.

Half-drow are nearly always raised either by the human parent or by both in seclusion somewhere to avoid prejudice or violence from either human or drow societies. This leads many half-drow to leads lives in the shadows or away from cities entirely.

Not all bards sing tales of famous heroes conquering ancient evils or glorious battles. Some derive their performances through movement. Unlike dancers, however, mimes are able to astound their audience, making them believe in the unseen. You have mastered this technique, and through your magical training you have been able to actually produce invisible barriers.

A subclass inspired by mimes and mimicry.
