Last 3 Edits

April 29th, 2021

  • Added Optional Class Features & Subclasses from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
  • Added Subclasses from Grim Hollow Player's Guide.

Sept 30th, 2020

  • Added subclasses from Midgard Heroes Handbook & Deep Magic Kobold Press.
  • I also combined Domains that have the same name, so there are not three entries for Ocean for eg. They all appear under Ocean, but there are three subclasses you can check.
