Hypothetical ScenarioHypothetical Scenario 2Homebrew changes more quickly than some people think. I've included all homebrew, those that are Plug-and-Play quality (e.g. Luminary, previously called the Solar) are included at the Recommended section. Everything else is in need of testing and feedback since there's so much homebrew but everyone here is too busy to play campaigns (that includes me). I try to play around with Solo RPG sessions with CRGE but I don't have a grasp of QA testing. Recommended: For when homebrew is stable or getting there (most of these are by weredrago2, ported by other members) Races- Warforged: Originally created by the Eldarin as a servant race, they evolved past their programming to become more than meets the eye.
Exaltations- List item 1
- Champion: The transforming hero/heroine archetype, focusing more on direct combat like your Tokusatsu shows.
- Evoluder: The power of evolution drives you to overcome. GaoGaiGar meets TTGL.
- Luminary: Grossly incandescent bearers of light who draw power from the sun (and heat sources). One of the oldest and most well-polished homebrew.
- Symbiote: Hosts empowered by parasites ala Spiderman's Venom.
- Youkai: A fear-based exaltation about being terrifying harbingers of dread.
- [Champion] Wellspring: The spellcasting counterpart to the Champion, not necessarily mahou shoujo.
ClassesSword Schools/Gun KataOthers For people trying homebrew for the first time, I recommend picking these options ease of learning and introduction because of how few other homebrew they reference RacesExaltationsClasses (Tip: Homebrew Sword Schools/ Gun Kata/ Magic Schools can be swapped for ones in the Core rulebook) - Caveman: A very simple class about hitting things with clubs, great multiclass fodder.
- Detective: Based on the depiction of private sleuths from the 30's and 40's
- Hero: The generalist everyman protagonist you see in role-playing games. They can do both sword and sorcery with a little bit of everything else.
- Juggernaut: "Guess who I am, bitch."
- Kensai: The wandering blademaster with flowing robes and singular strikes.
- Lawyer: OBJECTION! Your honor, this homebrew has been around since 2015, maybe earlier!
- Navigator: Specialist class track about, well, being a navigator for your ship.
- Ninja: Stop! You have intruded far enough. Now prepare to meet your demise at the hands of these...magical rogues.
- Pirate: Space pirates, specifically.
- Street Samurai: A combat class with a special emphasis on cybernetic augmentations.
- Troublemaker: Despite the name, it doesn't actually want any trouble. Uses improvised weapons like Jackie Chan.
Sword Schools/Gun KataOthers If you're anything like me, you're already used to the system and want to head straight to the deep end of the cauldron. Races- Goliath: Size 6 isn't all it's cracked up to be.
- Khuruf: Your racial power incentivizes you to be miserable.
- Qhrell: Yeah...
Exaltations- Aeonic: Smallest resource pool in homebrew, it can be replenished quickly but you need to be careful about it.
- Font: Very bad in protracted battles, you can go "nova" in amazing moments of glory.
- Gemini: You play two characters instead of one (unless you pick the D4C asset), which means twice the bookkeeping to deal with.
- Heartless: You are extremely focused around a specific status condition (Blood Loss) and must frequently kill in a specific way to sustain yourself.
- Leviathan: A strange combination of advantages and disadvantages that leaves a lot of collateral damage.
- Mastermind: Get a penalty to the very frequent physical tests (unless you pick a specific asset). You must make good use of noncombat resources.
- Moigno: You are incredibly vulnerable to all kinds of magic but you also have a Wallhack ability.
- Newtype: This exaltation frequently interacts with vehicle rules, which is a finicky mess at times.
- Oneiroi: Fastest draining resource pool in homebrew, going down in hours compared to the Vampire's days. Beware of ambushes.
- Panzer: Like the Newtype, you also need a solid grasp of vehicle rules to make good use of this.
- Summoner: Unlike other partner-based exaltations, your summon is MUCH stronger than you but can't stick for long as you turn into a sitting duck.
- Unshackled: You can retcon timelines to get whatever you need at hand, but you have to be careful of paradoxes and dwindling resource points.
Classes- Boxer: This class is intended to be used with weaponless unarmed strikes, as in no power fists or werewolf claws.
- Gambler: I hope you're prepared to slow the game down with your buckets of rerolls.
- Master of Nine and Master Gunslinger: Requires VERY heavy investment in Sword Schools/Gun Kata.
- Novice: You're a wimpy support class until you hit Level 5, then you become a glass cannon.
- Plasma Spaz: Revolves around a specific weapon type and very high-risk high-reward.
- Ruler: This class is all about downtime actions and nebulous out-of-combat resources. Useless in immediate combat.
- War Hulk: Pretty much exclusive for high Size and high Strength characters.
Sword Schools/Gun Kata- Crimson Sickle: Action type revolves around spending Hero Points, which you shouldn't do frivolously.
- Freedom Flight: Revolves around an item that's tricky to use.
- Royal Flush: You REALLY need to get lucky with this.
Others- Corruption and Mutation: Oh look, it's like Insanity for your body. Another way to remove characters.
- Cypher Fields: An entirely new homebrew system about non-magical techno-gizmos that work like skill-based spells.

Bomber/Grenadier/Saboteur (because I think someone will get confused by this) Bomber specializes in creating and remotely detonating explosives, Grenadier is about lobbing explosives from a distance, and Saboteur focuses on traps in general. Death-Kings/DeathlordsDeath-King is old and the assets are being about a specific type of lich. Deathlord is new, tries to address some balance issues found in DK, and the assets are titled about specializations. Death-King V4 Eventually™️. GoblinDifferent racial bonuses, powers and feats available. The two versions also draws inspiration from different sources, with Amanojaku's drawing from D&D 4e, Magic: the Gathering, and some Warhammer 40k; while Book 3 draws from Star Trek's Ferengi and World of Warcraft. Gremlin/Liliputian---Liliputiants look more like miniature humans and their populations are homogenous. Gremlins are more visually distinct and their populations are unions of other tiny beings that survive natural selection. Gunzerker/Loose CannonBoth of these classes have In the Zone but their feats, Gun Katas and skill requirements paint a different picture for each of them. The Gunzerker has less homebrew feats (but not none) and plays like a Heavy with more melee support. Also emphasizes dual-wielding Basic weapons. Loose Cannon has much more homebrew feats as it tries to make a ranged parallel to various melee feats/abilities. It plays like a barbarian but for guns and some of the feats benefit from critical damage. Similar effects for the Gunzerker are relegated to its Gun Kata selection. Hero/WandererBoth classes look like generalist everymen with rather generic-sounding names, surely they play the same, right? WRONG. Hero is a lot more self-sufficient in terms of being a solo protagonist. It also has a powerful completion bonus by providing free raises to tests as long as it uses a Characteristic. However its leveling prerequisites take a lot of investment and it has less class skills overall. Anything not covered by the class track will be found in other classes. Wanderer has much less emphasis on being a combat monster (it doesn't even get any proficiencies) but makes up for it with increased versatility. It has more accessible skills, simpler leveling prerequisites, and a set of feats that focus on exploration. Metamorph/VolverMetamorph is more focused on the evolution motif and slight adaptation to critical damage. Volver is about on-the-fly adaptation and tanking lethal critical damage. tl;dr: Metamorph lets you play as Khazix/The Fly, Volver lets you play as Doomsday. Monster-BoundKonate's has the monster be bound to an artifact (called an Anchor) and has a separate pool of Hit Points. The monster's statistics has its own unique way of building and regaining resource points requires a test. The assets are themed around the type of monster. accidentalbystander's version (originally byweredrago2) uses the Spirit Creation Rules and the monster shares more than the other. The gained powers are radically different and offer much more than simple stat boosts. Regaining resource points is simply spending team with each other outside of combat. Also, it's named just Bound. MutantTraskus' version (originally by weredrago2) is a lot more streamlined with less homebrew feats and the acquisition of mutations is a single feat. Username's has a lot of homebrew feats and tracks corruption as a way of gaining mutations. PerpetualAmanojyaku's version (originally by weredrago2) is overall much less focused on emphasizing total invincibility (but not as vulnerable to other elimination methods like Insanity), incorporating a greater focus on being an immortal warrior much like Highlander, at the cost of the power stat capstone being a mitigating effect rather than an actual power. Assets are simplier but also more varied in benefits. Traskus' version (originally by Kwak) has a two very nasty drawbacks and the rest of the powers are dedicated to increasing the degree of your immortality, using Resolve as the resource stat (proven to be untenable for some). Assets are all in the vein of "here's three skills you can take to six dots, some dots for them, and a new condition for recovering Resolve". SageThe two versions focuses on different aspects and draw inspiration from varying sources. Amanojyaku's version is inspired by Touhou and Magic: the Gathering, emphasizing the enlightenment aspect. Traskus' version (originally by weredrago2) emphasizes the connection with the land and is inspired by Avatar: the Last Air Bender and (also) Magic: the Gathering. SwarmDifferent design philosophies.---- Scrapyard's version came first.Businessman/MerchantMerchant has a lot more homebrew feats that interact with Wealth tests while Businessman focuses on facilitating them. Thematically, Merchant is the indie entrepeneur while the Businessman is the corporate salaryman. Titan--- Bloodreaver/FlagellantBloodreaver focuses more on inflicting Blood Loss on others while Flagellant doesn't care who bleeds as long as someone does. Flagellant is also more durable in combat while Bloodreaver leans towards offense. NecromancerMarr's version came first and some of its feats have stronger effects. It also has Healer of the Dead which is rather strong (especially with ways to exchange HP for more resource points). Amanojyaku's version added limits to some of the feats (like making Soul Jar use Resurrection's drawback) and replaced Conjuration with Nihilikinesis
