Low Magic Subclasses
There's a common desire to play low magic games with the familiar D&D rules. Not no magic, necessarily, but more of a slow, swords-and-sorcery sort of feel than the current "free magic!" paradigm.
5e is more suited to such a setting than previous editions, since magic isn't quite as baked into the baseline assumptions, but "what about the casters?" becomes a difficult question. If players are allowed to play spellcasters, the game can easily wind up feeling like a normal campaign. If they are not, a number of important and classic options become very difficult to play.
As a compromise, the following subclasses allow players to fill similar archetypes in a more genre-appropriate fashion. They rely less on magic and more on skill, featuring unique and limited powers rather than all-encompassing spell lists.
Barbarian-- Path of the Beast Master
The following archetype serves as an alternative to the Druid and Ranger--particularly the Beast Master Ranger.
| Barbarian Level | Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Druidic Initiation, Wild Companion |
| 6th | Speaker for the Beasts, Land's Stride |
| 10th | Speaker for the Trees |
| 14th | Rage of the Beast |
Druidic Initiation
Beginning at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Nature, if you did not already have it, and may add twice your Proficiency bonus to such checks. If you already had proficiency in Nature, you may select a new skill instead. In addition, you learn Druidic, the secret language of Druids, and may use it to leave hidden messages.
Wild Companion
At 3rd level, you learn to use your magic to create a powerful bond with a creature of the natural world, It is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. You determine the type of creature which appears, but all use the Animal Companion stat block below.
In combat, your Animal Companion shares your initiative count, but takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you use a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block, or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide or Search action.
At the end of a long rest, you can call a new companion from the wild. If you already have an Animal Companion from this feature, the first one immediately departs.
Speaker for the Beasts
Beginning at 6th level, you can forge connections with the natural world. As an action, you may make a Wisdom or Charisma (Nature) check against a beast with an Intelligence of 4 or less, opposed by their Wisdom save. If your roll is higher, the animal’s attitude towards you becomes friendly, and you may communicate with it as though you shared a language.
You can use this feature three times. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long or short rest.
Land’s Stride
Starting at 6th level, you can pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.
Speaker for the Trees
Beginning at 10th level, you may use your Speaker for the Beasts ability on plant creatures, as well as beasts. When used against a non-sentient plant, you may communicate with it as though under the effects of a Speak with Plants spell.
In addition, as an action, you may call on many plants to hinder your foes. This functions as the Plant Growth spell. Once you have used this ability, you may not do so again until you have finished a long rest.
Rage of the Beast
Beginning at 14th level, you are raging, your companion also gains the benefits of your
Rage.

If the ability requires a saving throw, the DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Powers last for one hour once acquired, and you may use this ability a number of times per Short Rest equal to your Constitution modifier. You may use it again before the first power has worn off, but doing so instantly ends the first effect.
Most Skinshifters keep a pouch well stocked with preserved bits of the meat, fur, and other bits they use to fuel their abilities. You may assemble such a pouch with one week of downtime to hunt, or by spending 25 gp to purchase replacement parts from local hunters and merchants. As long as you have your pouch, you are assumed to have all the components you need to use your abilities, much like a spell component pouch.

This ability works as a Moon Druid’s Wild Shape, including the improved CR limits, but with the following changes: Assuming an alternate form requires a fresh or preserved pelt of the new form and takes ten minutes, but may be done any number of times per day. You retain your original hit points and hit dice, and your new form remains in place until you choose to shuck it as an action. You may talk while in your new form, though your words are garbled enough to impose Disadvantage on any checks requiring precise or persuasive speech.

- First Aid: As a bonus action, you can restore one hit point to a dying creature.
- Instant Triage: As an action, you can tend to a creature and restore hit points equal to 2d6 + your Wisdom modifier. At 6th level, and again at every subsequent third level, this healing increases by 1d6. The creature can't regain hit points from this ability again until it finishes a short or long rest.
At 7th level, you learn another three new uses for Healer’s Kits, both of which require you to expend one charge of a Healer’s Kit.
- Energizing Tincture: As an action, you may grant one creature temporary hit points equal to twice your Fighter level.
- General Antidote: As an action, you can end one disease or one condition afflicting the target. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned.
At 10th level, you learn another two new uses for Healer’s Kits, both of which require you to expend one charge of a Healer’s Kit.
- Rejuvenating Tincture: The heart may stop, but you know that life still lingers.

You have transcended the mortal limits of your craft, learned to coax even the faintest embers of life back into a roaring flame. As an action, you can treat a creature who has been dead for no more than one hour, expending one thousand gold pieces worth of medical supplies.

Rogue Archetype--Bard

| 9th | Font of Inspiration |
| 13th | Piercing Command |
| 17th | Insidious Command |

At 3rd level, you gain Proficiency in Performance and two musical instruments, if you did not already have it, and may add twice your Proficiency bonus to those checks. If you already had proficiency in Performance, you may select a new skill instead.
Vicious Mockery
Beginning at 3rd level, you may use a bonus action to mock a foe within 60ft. It must make a Wisdom saving throw, with a DC of 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. On a failure, it becomes enraged. Until the beginning of your next turn, the creature will attack you in preference to other targets, and you can use your Sneak Attack damage against them even if you don't have advantage on the attack roll, but not if you have disadvantage on it. This ability only functions against creatures with an Intelligence of 4 or more with whom you share a language.
Bardic Inspiration
Beginning at 3rd level, you can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the
Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide
before the DM says whether the
roll succeeds or fails. Once the
Bardic Inspiration die is rolled,
it is lost. A creature can have
only one Bardic Inspiration
die at a time.
You can use this
feature a number of
times equal to your
Charisma modifier
(a minimum of once). You regain
any expended uses when you finish
a long rest.
At 9th level, and again at 13th
and 17th level, the size of your
Bardic Inspiration die
increases by 1 step--ie, from
a d6 to a d8.
Your Bardic Inspiration die
changes when you reach certain
levels in this class. The die
becomes a d8 at 9th level, a
d10 at 13th level, and a d12 at 17th level.
CHAPTER 3 | LOW MAGIC OPTIONS
Font of Inspiration
Beginning when you reach 9th level, you regain all of your expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when you finish a short or long rest.
Piercing Command
At 13th level, you may cast Command at will. If you expend an Inspiration dice as part of the process, you may roll it and affect one-half its value in additional targets. The DC for this ability is equal to 8+Proficiency+Cha modifier.
Insidious Command
At 17th level, you may expend two Inspiration dice to cast Geas or Dominate Monster. You do not need to concentrate on these spells, and only need to provide the verbal component. The DC for this ability is equal to 8+Proficiency+Cha modifier.
Rogue Archetype-- Surgeon
THe following subclass, reprinted from Grod's Guide to Greatness, serves as an alternative to magical healers such as the Bard, Cleric, Druid, and Paladin.
| Rogue Level | Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | School of Medicine, Scalpel Mastery, Optional Retraining |
| 9th | Diagnosis |
| 13th | Plague Needle, Emergency Surgery |
| 17th | Mastery of Life and Death |
School of Medicine
Beginning at 3rd level, you gain Proficiency in Medicine, if you did not already have it, and may add twice your Proficiency bonus to such checks.
Scalpel Mastery
Beginning at 3rd level, daggers you wield do 1d6 damage instead of 1d4. You may draw a dagger as part of the same action you use to attack with it.
Battlefield Medicine
You know the secrets of medicine, enabling you to treat wounds in the blink of an eye. Beginning at 3rd level, you may expend a charge from a healer’s kit as an action to allow an adjacent creature to expend their own hit dice to regain hit points, as though taking a Short Rest.
In addition, once per Long Rest, you may spend one hour preparing special healing packs. You may create and carry a number of such packs equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). Once prepared, unused packs lose their potency after 24 hours.
Anyone may use one of your packs as though it was a charge from a healing kit, but they have special potential in your hands: if you spend an action to apply one to an adjacent creature (or yourself), that creature regains hit points equal to your Sneak Attack damage plus your Intelligence modifier.
Alternatively, you may use a pack to cure a disease, heal one condition (either blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned), and undo any other effect that can be ended by a Lesser Restoration spell. Beginning at 9th level, you may also remove the charmed or petrified condition from a creature, to undo a reduction of an ability score or hit point total, or any other effect (apart from exhaustion) that can be ended by a Greater Respiration spell. Beginning at 13th level, you may also expend a healing pack to reattach a severed limb, as the Regenerate spell.
Optional Retraining
Upon choosing this archetype, you may trade your proficiency in Thieves' Tools for proficiency in herbalism kits, and your ability to speak Thieves' Cant for the ability to speak another language.
Diagnosis
Beginning at 9th level, as a bonus action you may pick a creature you can see and learn its current hit points, proficiency bonus, and any conditions it is currently being affected by.
Plague Needle
Beginning at 13th level, you have learned the darker side to your craft. As a bonus action, you can expend a healing pack to coat a melee weapon or piece of ammunition with infectious agents. The next target you strike with that weapon must make a Constitution save or be affected as though by a Contagion spell. Treated weapons lose their potency after 1 hour.
Emergency Surgery
Beginning at 13th level, once per long rest you may use a healing packs to restore life to a creature who died in the last minute. This functions as the Revivify spell, but restores the creature to zero hit points but stable. Using this ability provokes opportunity attacks.
Mastery of Life and Death
Biology bows its head to you in shame, while scalpel and needle fly under your fingers. You may apply healing packs using your Battlefield Medicine ability as a bonus action. In addition, you have discovered a way to defy the grave itself. As part of an twenty-four-hour procedure requiring 1000 gold worth of alchemical reagents and medical supplies, you may restore life to a single corpse that still has its brain intact. You cannot regenerate missing flesh or body parts, but you can replace them with those of another body that has been dead for no more than one day. This ability otherwise functions as the Resurrection spell.
