Tales of the Valiant: Player’s Guide 2

Expand your options for Tales of the Valiant and fifth-edition games with Player’s Guide 2. Discover a wide world of new heroic subclasses, magic items, enchanted weapons, and arcane abilities. Inside, you’ll find three new base classes, equipment and magic items including magical tattoos, heroic boons, and 48 new subclasses. There are over 150 new spells plus variant spellcasting options, expanded base-building and downtime rules, and much more! Download a free preview PDF.

My contributions: ~30 talents (feats); ~10 subclasses; ~1700 words of new non-magical armor, weapons, and materials; ~30 magic items; and 4 fabled magic items.
