D&D Wiki Magazine/Issue 5

The theme for this issue is "Holy".

5e

Classes

• Channeler (5e Class)
• Oath of The Justiciar (5e Archetype)
• Seraphim Patron (5e Archetype) * Not mine, but the balance is surprisingly good except maybe cleric cantrips. With some more fluff, this could be great. --OwenLeaf (talk) 13:30, 23 October 2016 (MDT)
• Way of the Heavenly Lores (5e Archetype) - Who said monks can't be holy? I'm not sure with balancing issues, I would like to have this reviewed. I wonder if this could make into the D&D Wiki Magazine. --WeirdoWhoever (talk) 07:42, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
• College of Hymn (5e Archetype) - Another archetype to go. I must be on a writing spree, although the balancing part is still questionable, I'm not getting the hang of it. --WeirdoWhoever (talk) 14:40, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Rejected

• The Abyssal Touched (5e Archetype) * not finished
• Hammer of the Lightbringer (5e Equipment) * I can't include IP
• Weapon of Smiting (5e Equipment) * not finished
• Blessed Rations and Water(5e Equipment) * nonsense
• Divine Magic (5e Archetype) * needs a significant rewrite, plus there is already a similar idea within an unearthed arcane page based on such subject. Do please check the link here.
• Oath of The Inquisition (5e Archetype) *I'm not sure this one can be redeemed as a valuable archetype. The subject matter just seems to be a justification to be disruptive.

Editorial

Not sure if we can keep this religiously neutral. The Trinkets we can just include emblems from a bunch of faiths, but this might present more issues

In my opening editor's statement, I will be briefly trying to answer the question "What is Holiness" with respect to the magazine content, it will only be a paragraph or two. Something along the lines of "Holy" not necessarily being tied in with deities or religions, and Goodness having an objective existence in D&D cosmology; at the same time neutral or evil organizations may still have their "things that should not be transgressed".
