SEASON OF THE NATURAL ONE

AKA “Let’s Have Fun Balancing This S***!”

Destiny-based D&D; what a grand and intoxicating idea. I had started this homebrew well before I even heard about this other homebrew called D&Destiny. However, after learning about it I decided to just keep going with this project regardless. I hope you enjoy what you see and try incorporating this ruleset for your own campaign(s)!

(As of changelog 04/27/2024, I finally got around to reading it for the purposes of making sure nothing was unintentionally copied! Whoo!)

The foundational goal behind this is to make a Lightbearer “Race/Species" with varied and powerful options. The design philosophy behind these options is heavily inspired by Eldritch Invocations in its pick-and-choose customizability. There are also a lot of options for weapons, armour, magic items, and even some options for backgrounds, feats, and a custom class to thematically fit the setting. Above all, this homebrew is designed to be extremely customizable and compatible.

I hope these options allow for some fun Destiny-themed roleplay and combat and that you and your friends enjoy yourselves to the fullest with these features- or any features from any other source that piques your interest. If you have any particular feedback, please let me know on my twitter @HolyJunkie and I will look into tweaking the balance and adding new features. There's a lot of stuff here to pick through.

[MAY 16 2024 - Given the nonsense that's been happening as of late re: Bungie: If you don't want to use these rules at all... honestly I get it. That said, I'll still edit this from time to time if inspiration hits and if issues are reported, and it will always be available for trying out.]

Thank you for your time! Have fun!
