Let’s step up your armor game a bit!
Armored Agility
Unlike almost everyone else, you move better the heaver the armor gets. All class and feat abilities that do not allow you to wear armor now function with the next heaviest set (light, medium, then heavy armor) you are proficient with. You may take this feat multiple times gaining the ability to use class and feat abilities with the next set are armor you can wear.

Let’s keep building on the idea of con as a weapon!

Funny thing, gladiators were not thin, trim guys. They were surprisingly fat. A guy with a gut can take a knife, spray a bit of blood to wow the crowds, and not get his abdominal wall punctured and the accompanying death sentence that goes with that. Let’s build that into DnD 5e!
Full Body Defense
You’re big, but not exactly tall for the build. You’re built hard enough to take the hits and not exactly care. Gain the fallowing benefits:

How about a monk the learns from an animal? When I did Kung Fu, I practiced the animal forms. Let’s make that work in DnD 5e for the Monk.
Master of Animal Forms
Animal Sensei
Starting at 3rd level, you gain an animal companion as per the ranger rules. However, you may only choose from the following animals. In addition to the ranger rules for animal companion actions, once per turn, you may spend a ki point as a bonus action to issue a command to your animal companion. You must also pick a time each day when your animal companion will train you. This time lasts for 3 minutes per character level. During this time you may change the animal companion that is training you with no negative repercussions.
| Animal | Page | Bonus Skill | Bonus Save |
| Constrictor Snake | PHB 305 | Slight of Hand | Con |
| Giant Owl | MM327 | Perception | Cha |
| Panther | PHB 308 | Stealth | Wis |
| Wolf | PHB 311 | Athletics | Int |
Animal Training
At 6th level, you begin to learn the lessons of your animal companion. You gain proficiency in a skill and saving throw associated with your animal companion. If you are already proficient with the skill or saving throw, then you double your proficiency bonus.
Two Masters
At 11th level, you have continued so deep into your training that you now gain the bonus of your Animal Training class feature for two different animals. You still only have one animal companion.
The Fifth Animal
At 17th level, you have reached the peak of your training, and your animal companion now reflects it. You now gain a dragon wyrmling as your animal companion. It still gains the bonuses as a animal companion as normal (hit points, addition of proficiency to attack, etc), but also has all the skills, immunities, and other creature abilities as a dragon wyrmling. Each day you may choose a different dragon wyrmling type during your training as well as two different animals for your bonuses from your Two Masters class feature.

Product-Out of the Abyss
System– DnD 5e
Producer– Wizards of the Coast
Price– $ 50 here http://www.amazon.com/Out-Abyss-D-Accessory/dp/0786965819/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446560418&sr=8-1&keywords=out+of+the+abyss
TL; DR– A few rough spots on a great piece-88%
Basics-It’s going to be a bad day when the players find themselves prisoners of the Drow, and that’s the high point! The players find themselves at the tender mercies of the drow, and eventually undercover that the underdark just became an even deadlier place as demon lords now roam the caverns. Will you be able to save Faerûn and yourselves from the creatures Out of the Abyss?
Mechanics or Crunch-What is here is a bit of a mix. DnD 5e has a bit of a problem serving two masters: 1e sensibilities of life doesn’t come always in achievable pieces all the time and 3.5’s challenge rating so the players survive setup. Some of those parts crash into the PCs early on, and that can make a DM have to dance a bit to avoid a TPK. That said, overall, it’s a well designed adventure with lots of fun new mechanics, great exploration and team management options, and some fun fights to keep the PCs on their toes and enjoying things. The struggle is a bit real, but a good DM will be able to keep the game going. 4.5/5
Theme or Fluff-This is an amazing adventure for it’s story, but almost eight levels until you hit the main story stride is a bit much. I’m not spoiling anything when I say that demon lords prowl the underdark. However, you don’t really get to deal with them until you are about halfway to the max level of the campaign. Then, this adventure turns into a classic Bioware game. Players then find out about a plan to fix things, chase down items in any order across several different set piece locations, put out underground fires, and save the day. That part is amazing! Getting there is a bit boring. But, every group of players I’ve run this game with have found their most favorite NPC of all time in this adventure, so it has some phenomenal high points along the way. 4.25/5
Execution-I like what’s here, but there are many pages with walls of text. The art that is here is amazing, but I want/need more of it. The text is written well, but there is so much it’s not as much fun to read, since this isn’t just a fantasy novel, but a gazetteer and a bunch of stat blocks as well. Overall, it’s good, but not my most favorite RPG adventure layout. 4.5/5
Summary-I like what’s here, but it needs a bit of work to really be a knock out. The starter town is a good example of the amazing and the problematic. It has a great description, introduces some amazing adversaries, and provides a place for the PCs to cut (some of) their teeth. However, it’s also got some fights that a DM will absolutely have to pull their punches on to keep the adventure going. After the players escape, the chase rules are good, but the players will most likely end up doing the same fight again in a few days regardless of their choices. That one area kind of give some of the amazing and off putting that define this adventure. It’s close to being the greatest things a player and GM will get to play, but has a few rough spots that keep it from a smooth performance. 88%

What?! No Diehard feat in DnD5e? Let’s fix this!
Diehard
You are a solid tower of stone. No blow can fell you unless it would drop a kingdom. Gain the following benefit:
Thoughts? Too much? Too little? I’d like to hear what you have to say!
How much is a feat worth? Who would take a feat for just one extra attach each turn? Let’s find out.
No Lost Blade Time
You blades move quickly. So much so it’s a blur to the eye. You gain a bonus action each turn that can be used to make a single extra attack. This is not an extra attack action, but a single attack. If you are welding two weapons, you may make an attack with each weapon. If you have the action surge power, you may spend your action surge to take two full attack actions as part of the bonus action.
Thoughts? Is this too much, not enough, or just about right?
If you can thing through your actions, you can also throw caution to the wind!
Impulsive
When you take the attack action, you can forgo your reaction for this round,from the start of this turn until the start of your next turn, to instead gain an extra attack as part of this action. You add all modifiers to the attack and it’s damage as normal.
