Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for d20 roleplaying.

Here at the Chronicles of the Curious Quill, we have introduced you to the setting of Taluma, its people and monsters, and also looked at ways to enhance role-playing in 5e (2014 & 2024). Now we will bring it all together to explore two characters from Taluma: a duo of heroes called Jorgmur Bestbeard and Ghil Grimeye. Maybe we will even share some of their tales.

Sub-Classes: Alternative ‘Ranger’ Builds

In the substitute classes (Sub-Classes) features we will look at ways to make different classes work in similar ways through combinations of backgrounds and class and subclass selections along with class feature and spell selection. This time we will look at how to build characters similar to the ranger class, combining weapon combat (usually ranged) with magic to improve their combat, with at least a minor connection to nature.
