I made some Nimble RPG homebrew subclasses and ancestries.

 Within the past few months, I've gotten back in to RPGs, primarily Mothership and Nimble. I was getting frustrated with D&D, and while I like Pathfinder, both systems are just too much. I've got lots of ideas for Mothership content that I've only got notes for so far, but Nimble content seems easier to create, as it's based off of D&D 5e with simplified rules. My favorite D&D setting is AD&D 2e Planescape, but WotC keeps fumbling that in later editions. And Monte Cook and Keith Baker are off to other things. Unfortunately, a lot of that content is protected IP and not available with the standard SRD without some major re-working.

So, here is my take on the githyanki and githzerai as PC ancestries for Nimble. 



I also created a version of the 5e Druid subclass, Circle of Spores for the analog of the Stormshifter in Nimble. I loved the concept, but didn't really like how it was implemented in D&D. It had a ton of flavor, but not much usable options. I think this version will be fun.


And finally, a version of the D&D 4e Warden class, reworked as the Paladin analog, the Oathsworn, as a subclass. I really liked how 4e created and organized their classes by power source and role, so this is essentially a primal defender.


These are currently shared on Nimble.Nexus, a third-party collection of homebrew content for Nimble. None of these have been play-tested yet, but I personally needed a githzerai option and the Circle of Spores option for my own characters and planned fiction.

Hopefully, these will be received well and there will be more to come.
