The Path of Dragonfire - Barbarian Primal Path
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
by Richard T. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/03/2021 16:44:21

As with his previous supplement, the author does a great job of building from a power fantasy that is easy to grasp - and in this case one that I know to be very popular amongst RPG players. Through this book, a DM has the ability to offer their players the option to truly wield the power of Dragon's Breath in combat. The mechanics have been very carefully written to mesh well with existing Barbarian rulesets, and the author has taken care to balance the path's power level in line with official supplements.

Where the path really shines, however, is in the custom Breath Effects list - which includes a wide array of versatile mechanics for those looking to do more than just burn their enemies. Many of these effects have been tailored to make reference to powerful legendary dragons that many players will be familiar with - offering a player character the chance to really feel as though they are channelling the fury of these godlike ancients. For such a low price, this would be a great way to spice up your next campaign as a player - or something to offer your next party as a DM - without sinking time and money into larger resource books. I definitely recommend it!

The Ghost, a 5e Class
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

I had the opportunity to play this class in the Ravenloft setting of 5e Curse of Strahd - and I have to say that it works perfectly in Barovia. The combination of supportive capabilities, spooky vibes, and the ability to conceal a member of your party really worked well to support the dark action and intrigue of the campaign. I also found that building a Spirit Guide made it surprisingly easy to integrate my character into an already existing party. You have the capability to take any npc that the group has recently seen perish (or any already ghostly npc) and convert them quickly and easily into a Spirit Guide player character. This worked particularly well with the haunted introduction to Curse of Strahd.

If you are a DM, I would recommend picking this class up to offer to your players - to give them an extra dimension to explore when creating new characters. Whenever a player character dies, but wants to keep their character on, you can now offer them the chance to continue with whatever drove them. It also provides you with a creative way to introduce new PCs if you have a party that people are always joining.

If you are a player, then you should feel comfortable offering this option to your DM when building your character. The Spirit Guide is well-balanced and specifically designed to avoid changing the rules too much - or breaking existing expectations. Other than thematic choices and the possession mechanic, these sub-classes have been built from the ground up to feel just like any other supporting Cleric, Bard, or Warlock. If you are looking for something interesting to try out, then there is a good chance that your DM will work with you to integrate your new Spirit Guide into your campaign.

At the end of the day, I loved this class - and I can't wait to get the chance to play it again.
