This Obsidian project gives you templates insert and new documents to create new creatures, spells, or whatever in your own [sourcebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourcebook) to create a campaign settings, supplements, or modules. 

Included are a bunch of the bare bones basics  taken from [Markdown version](https://github.com/downfallx/dnd-5e-srd-markdown) of the SRD: character creation and gameplay guides along with example species, class, and subclass. Although this is mostly just to give a sense of what you can do and good practice, I highly recommend keeping the guides and contributed to the project I copied them from.

The templates themselves range from subclass, items, feats, and more. You can really go all Tasha's Cauldron of Everything if you truly wanted.

## Recommendations

- Any Markdown-supported text editor
	- [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) or VSCode
- [mdBook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/)
- [Harper](https://writewithharper.com/) spellcheck

## How To

- Add a chapter to the Summary 
	- See [mdBook documentation](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/)
- Insert or paste the contents from `/templates`
- Write whatever you want down
- Test your book with `mdbook serve` (Optional)

### Tips

- When making a subclass, I would recommend copying the base class for reference.
- You can convert Animals to Monsters or vice versa. They follow the structure.
- If you want to make 5E's magic more fallible, I highly recommended watching [this video](https://youtu.be/eyb4FDvzLeE).
	- If 4E or 3E are released under the CC-By, then you could potentially merge the two systems.
