Similar to my other articles regarding character options for different campaigns, I wanted to create a post detailing typically approved options for campaigns in my own setting. For specific campaign ideas that might exclude certain material or include additional tailored material then I’ll have a separate post with a link to this one within them. Note this post may be periodically updated as I review and add new content that I would accept.
Ancestries
This list of ancestries only includes the generally approved options. Others will be provided for specific campaigns.

Note that while I want to provide lots of unique options, due to the inability to control for highly unbalanced character builds based on unique combinations of classes and abilities I do not allow the optional rule for multiclassing to be used in my 5e campaigns.
Subclasses
Subclasses represent an important part of character story. You should take careful thought about the type of character you would like to play, and consider how your chosen class and subclass affect your character. Certain decisions for subclasses, like developing mystical, mental, or arcane powers, or swearing an oath are extremely significant and you should consider how your character came to gain these abilities and discuss it with your GM so they can work those details into the story. The world truly becomes about you if you help the GM bring your motivations, patron, organization, and other backstory into the campaign.
Apothecary
Apothecaries are practioners of medicine and arcane magic. They seek out knowledge of of all kinds, even when it takes them to dark and otherworldly sources and places. They are often particularly gifted in chemistry and various eldritch formulae.

In this world you may serve any ruler of one of the layers of hell or even a lesser noble devil regardless of your choice of subclass. Lore within the Illrigger classes document is not necessarily correct in this world. You will swear loyalty to your devilish patron when you select your subclass, so work with your GM to incorporate this choice into the story and roleplay.

Wizards are quite powerful as they grow in experience. They can come from almost any background but are unified by having received some form of magical training in the past. Some join arcane groups of wizards, while others take a path of religious devotion and become powerful heirophants.

First Level Feats
I don’t enjoy killing characters at lower levels or boring characters. For that reason I like to give your character an extra boost. You may take a feat of your choice for your first level character.
Additional Character Advancements & Paths
Characters can advance in other unique ways in our games careful consider your character's future goals and how the options below might factor into your personal journey. You should coordinate careful with your GM in advance of implementing any of these options to get their final approval, and to help work the knowledge and events into the story of your campaign.
Dragon
In very special cases a player can confer with the GM and elect to play a dragon character. Dragons are noble creatures as unique in their motivations as humans, but with a slightly alien view of life due to their extended lifespan. A dragon character is truly unique and becomes an enduring part of the world due to their longevity and powers. A dragon character might be an adventurer in one campaign and after its conclusion, in another campaign set in a different time period they could become an adventure patron or the source of the powers for one of the draconic-themed subclasses above. Only one player in a party will be allowed to play a dragon character due to the power such a character brings, and any use of this option must be approved by the GM.
- Dragon (Dragonflight)
Lich
Some spellcasting characters elect to take the dark road of transforming themselves into undead after discovering forbidden knowledge. They become bound to a phylactery, and forfeit some of the powers and abilities they would have enjoyed as a mortal to gain other dark powers. While some make this decision with noble intentions, the change of mortal to immortal undead being is traumatic and ultimately corruption, driving such characters towards darker knowledge and decisions (Players should discuss with the GM and their companions before choosing to become a lich). This option is only available if the player undertakes a quest to search for the knowledge necessary to become a lich, or perhaps if they find it on their journeys.
- Lich (Ultimate Bestiary - The Dread Accursed)
