by Brandon A. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/20/2022 00:05:30

Exellent class would highly recommend this to DMS who needed healing class for tired of relying on clerics and or paladins would love to know how much charges a healing kit gets though

The class is neat idea but im confused on having a shortsword as a starting weapon despite not having martal weapon prof. there is some typos but nothing too annoying. Cool concecpt tho.

Plague Doctor: A New Class For 5E

The class feels like a "multi-class class" where the author wanted several different things from different classes but didn't want to multi-class. Things such as;

Stimulating Procedure - Bardic Inspiration - Bard

Weak Point - Sneak Attack - Rogue

Medical Techniques - Eldritch Invocations - Warlock

Surgical Strikes - Champion - Fighter

Strength of Will/One With Sickness - Arcane Recovery - Wizard

And after they were done making their ultimate multi-class character, they remembered they were supposed to be a plague doctor and added in some vestigal flavor elements to try and reel it back in.

The main problem with the class, is that it comes across as a patchwork of other classes, and lacks real flavor of it's own. The medical tools are largely useless outside of the plagues subclass, because their coroborating techniques are almost useless, Daily Dosage, if not detrimental, Targeted Injection (as it uses resources to deal the same amount of damage you'd get with a rapier), to actually use. In addition, Psychology and Plagues more or less have the same level three ability, with Psychology feeling like it got the short end of the stick when it came to thought put into it as it just comes across as a far worse wizard. Plagues on the other hand, has actual flavor to it, but it's so thinly spread that it hardly feels any different than the other choices because of how bland the concotions are.

I took interest in the class and figured I'd give it a look, but it needs a good bit of work to make it feel like it's own class. It has a decent foundation, but it could use a lot of work in the class feel department.

Lovecraftian Spells

Lots of entertaining spells within, and some good advice on adapting or retheming spells and using Madness to drive home a cosmic horror feel for your game.

Weird & Futuristic Trinkets

Very fun! Maybe these items that your players find are just useless trinkets. Maybe there's more to them...

A brilliant idea to help give your campaign a cosmic horror feel. A great supplement if you're looking for some inspiration.

Thank you! My goal was two-fold: give some cosmic horror boosts to your game and inspire your ability to manipulate your own games! More spells will be added eventually to pile on the insanity of course!
