I'm really proud of the composition of this page. So pretty! General lore stuff, though. If you like this homebrew, check out my subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonsandDragonBall/

So, something you'll likely notice is that I get a bit experimental with mechanics as far as races get. I'm trying to push the boundaries just a little bit in an attempt to find a harmonious balance between flavor and mechanics. The first of these is the Frieza Clan Resilience. It's effectively an inverted Relentless Endurance (Half Orc and Orc Trait).

The only race with feats as of now. I didn't feel like I could justify putting out the Frieza race without addressing transformations, so here this is! The balance is still a bit wonky here, but flavorfully, I really like it! Definitely going to revise it in the future though, especially the final and golden forms.

Lore stuff. Not as proud about the composition of this one and it's the most recent brew, so the wording on some stuff is kinda off. But I still like it and I hope you do too!

Hahaha! I love how Buu looks like he's trying to read it here. One of my favorite pages. This is among the most experimental of the brews for sure. Mimicry is my way way to try and make a completely new way for spellcasting in 5e, but it is untested and I think the wording could be touched up. Any help with that would be really appreciated! Absorption is another experimental trait. I think the balance is fine for the most part, but again, it's untested and could likely be worded just a bit better. Still, I'm really happy with how the Majin turned out!

*Snore* More lore. Page composition is nice though.

Regeneration is another experimental trait. I've never been a fan of the effect of regrowing limbs being locked at 7th level while a spell that can pull someone's soul back into their body is available as early as 3rd. But, since I can't change how WotC designed it, I balanced it around hit dice and exhaustion. It also cannot heal you, which I think fits the series pretty well. I think this is also a good time to talk about exhaustion as a mechanic regarding these brews. I intend to use it pretty often since it's something common within the series. On top of that, I also believe exhaustion is underused in 5e and want to rectify that issue. It's kind of just there right now as far as most campaigns are concerned.

I'm sorry. I had to make the reference to Dragon Ball Z Abridged. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm not super experienced with monster design, so I mostly took the pseudodragon and reskinned it for this. Any pointers here would be great!

LOOOOOOOORE.

My absolute favorite page. I am really proud of the page composition here. Some more experimental features here. Saiyan instinct is a bit atypical, but I don't think it's that far out for a 5e feature. Prehensile Tail is effectively a reskinned, short range version of mage hand. And then...Oozaru. The giant ape in the room. Still working on the balance here, to be honest.

Mutant saiyan is a bit stronger, but eh. I like the lore of it and I don't think it's too far off. I mean, Yuan-ti exist. Half saiyan is, again, experimental. Rage boost is pretty strong, but I really don't know by how much. Numbers wise, I don't think it's that much, but it is a consistent and sure bonus. I'll definitely have to give this one some more though. The flavor is a near hit, but I don't think it's on point yet. And the stat block for the Oozaru is still under development.

Telepathy (King Kai), two skill proficiencies, and misty step on short or long rest at 3rd level. It's a relatively strong brew, but not busted. I really think the lore of the mechanics hits well here.

This page has consistently given me trouble. I need to go back and edit it a bit. His hand is too close, argh! But yeah, some more experimental mechanics. Manipulate times is another attempt at a spellcasting variant for 5e. Attuned to the flow is effectively a part of a feat, but the flavor is nice. And, outside of the Ooozaru trait and the Majin stuff, Time-Skip is probably my most experimental as far as where the power may be. I really don't know on this one without playtesting it. It reads decently balanced because of the reduced movespeed and the tabaxi speed burst drawback. But it is still disengage on movement as a racial feature. We'll see how this one goes. It might stay, it might not.

Credit for the art that I used in making it. Seriously, they do such good work and I couldn't have done it without their existence. Give them a look! If you like this homebrew, check out my subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonsandDragonBall/

Just Saiyan, wouldn't it be the Cold Clan not the Frieza Clan? That makes more sense and sounds better.

6 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

they are called Ice demons tho

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They're referred to as the Frieza Clan in most material.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think they probably just adopt the name of whichever one of their species is most renowned/strongest. Cause they existed before Cold, too.

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Or just be called frost demons

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I don't think so. I get the impression that, whoever currently leads the operation, is the name. Also, with Frieza being so well known as

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

The Emperor of the Universe and his whole domination thing, plus his forces being called the "Frieza Force" not the Cold Force.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

They are the Frieza Force because they work for Frieza. They've been called Frost Demons as well as "Friezas".

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A fair reply. But I still think that, because of how famous Frieza is, the race name stands and they are called Frieza Clan in most material

You included albino Namekians. This makes you a man of culture who recognizes TRUE canon of Dragon Ball.

Surprised you didn't make rules for super saiyan considering how much you did for frieza transformations

6 years ago | Likes 62 Dislikes 2

At least, for me it is. Super saiyan comes in kinda late for the saiyans in comparisonand isn't as an inherent thing they do biologically.

6 years ago | Likes 32 Dislikes 1

That makes sense, looking forward to seeing what you can come up with

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

While true, basically every Saiyan in the show currently alive has reached it. Maybe have it staggered out starting around lvl10-13?

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Tarble currently can not.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Then you could have feats for “Low Power” forms. You should also have a fear for Oozaru control. Vegeta stayed in control transformed.

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I have a plan for a super saiyan class or subclass that's currently in the works! As for why, transformation is more intrinsic to Frieza.

6 years ago | Likes 38 Dislikes 0

I was actually going to suggest sub class, seems fitting since it is something they have to train to attain as opposed to a natural ability.

The Saiyan section is missing how when they recover from the brink of death they become stronger.

6 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Ah, zenkai. I didn't know how to work it into the race balance wise with what I already had. It's gonna be a racial feat or part of a class!

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Zenkai is basically how all D&D characters live, what with death-defying encounters granting the best XP.

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I'd say make it a racial ability tied to level. I.e. "at x level and every x level thereafter, gain one point in str, dex, and con."

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Maybe have them fall to 1 HP and give them advantage on attacks for the rest of the battle, but can't use it again until after a long rest.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I say if they're at 0HP and revived, they get + damage following the barb rage chart by level. Boost lasts 10 minutes.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Anyone can homebrew something from a show, actually balancing it is the hard (possibly impossible) part.

I'm ignorant on game balancing, but there are several misspelled words. Might need to spell check your descriptions.

What a great base to go from. Would cut down a little on the specifics of story telling dbz story, and keep to general race stuff.

Also, a couple spelling errors, but you'll sort that out at the end easy. Great ideas with the combined/new effects you're looking at.

I would do healing hands for Namekin more like a paladins lay hands- Level x Constitution Modifier (or whichever you choose)

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I did it based on the Aasimar's since it is already a racial trait and so that I don't take away from the class.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ah, the Aasimar. I forgot about that guy. Cool stuff, very cool homebrew stuff. I'm in the middle of a HB campaign and love it.
