What lies within this module?

The Greasemonkey’s Handbook is a comprehensive guide to building, piloting, and fighting alongside your very own mechanical constructs in the fantastic world of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.
Designed from the ground up to be completely compatible with almost any campaign setting, this handbook brings the world of mechs, tanks, cars, carts, and any other mechanical, magitech or sci-fi vehicle or construct you can think of into your games. With step-by-step guides to building your own custom creations, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. 
Want to introduce your world to walking dieselpunk tanks? The Greasemonkey’s has rules for that. 
You might have decided your spelljammer sci-fi homebrew campaign now needs demon-possessed robots with laser eyes, or perhaps you’ve decided your Eberron or Ravnica games would benefit from magictech or steampunk mobile suits; complete with mech-sized greatswords, shields and ranged weapons? Well, the Greasemonkey’s Handbook has rules for that too. 

However, with the sudden influx in gigantic killer constructs, your players might be growing a little concerned their spellcasters might not be as useful as they were before. Fear not! The Greasemonkey’s Handbook also introduces a brand new school of Automation magic, alongside 51 construct-themed spells, 40+ magical items, 12 new class archetypes, including the tech-hunting ranger, spell-weaving wizard, college of metal bard, and a mech pilot prestige class!
Tear apart enemy mechs with the Deconstruct spell, or manifest a wall of rotating gears to shield your allies from harm. Or draw upon the divine power of Mechanus to summon a squadron of modrons to do your bidding, while quickly transforming the scrap of long-dead constructs into a fearsome mechanical dragon, taking the fight to your enemy’s door. 

So what are you waiting for? Grab your spanners and roll up those sleeves – it’s mech building time!

Here is a new oath for paladin characters: the Oath of Medicine. It is accompanied by what could be a fitting background: Physician (or its variant: Psychiatrist). Of course, both options can be used separately.

I’m highly open for any changes and ideas to improve this oath.

Please be merciful for english isn’t my native tongue (although I’d enjoy any proofreading or editing).

Happy reading!

An elven sword-fighter raised her shield against a mighty troll. Deftly blocking the creature’s razor-sharp claws, she struck with her blade at the troll’s flank. As the sword found its mark, she whispered a word of power. Magic flowed through the weapon as an extension of her own body, and the troll howled as acid seared its flesh.

The dwarf had been called to find the source of the skeleton attacks, and find it she had. After many days, she’d tracked the hobgoblin necromancers back to their lair. Her hammer and shield were at the ready, and despite the chill in the air, she felt no fear: her magic was stronger than theirs.

Wielders of spell and steel, duskblades constantly seek new challenges to test their martial and magical prowess. Unbound by books or blood, they find themselves most comfortable on the front lines, combining their techniques into an arcane dance of death. They are rarely interested in magic for magic’s sake, and find that they have little in common with stuffy wizards or sly sorcerers.

This was created by combining the 3.5e Animal Lord and the 4e Pack Lord.

“My companions and I are just a small part of a much larger pack, and we alwayts hunt together.” 
– Wolflord Korrvah

With each rite you cast, you hear the distant growls and cries of your pack. They wait for your magic to call them forth into battle, and they are eager to fight. You strengthen them with your magic, and you draw power from them. You are at your mightiest when you stand at the head of your summoned pack.

When you summon beasts of your pack, your rites echo through them. Their wounds knit shut, and they leap to attack with a ferocity augmented by your primal magic. In turn, you draw on their feral strength to endure your enemy’s attacks and to strengthen your own.

Packlords featured here: Apelord, Bearlord, Birdlord, Catlord, Horselord, Sharklord, Snakelord, and Wolflord.

Prestige Paths are a way to add another layer of flavor onto a character without using class levels. They are somewhere between a class and a background. Class levels are finite in 5e, so this allows for a light version of a class without breaking normal progression.

Hello,

If you don’t mind me asking – where did you find this utility?

I am David Wisar and I can’t seem to find it on the site. I wonder if it was taken down.

Thanks,

Adventures in Fiction: Jack Williamson

By Ngo Vinh-Hoi

In the storied list of Appendix N authors, there is one name that encapsulates nearly the entire course of modern American science fiction and fantasy: Jack Williamson. John Stewart Williamson was born on April 29th, 1908 in an adobe hut in what was then still the Arizona Territory. Seeking to better themselves, the Williamson family travelled by horse-drawn covered wagon to New Mexico in 1915, where Williamson recalled that they “homesteaded in Eastern New Mexico in 1916 after the good land had been claimed. We were living below the poverty line, struggling for survival.”

This isolated, hardscrabble
existence continued throughout Williamson’s entire youth, but his imagination
and inquisitive mind helped him to endure. As he describes, “I did a lot of farmwork—riding horses
after a string of cattle, gathering the corn, that sort of thing. Working alone
so often like that was naturally pretty boring, so I started creating these
endless epics and fictional cycles in which I was the principal character—all
this done simply as a way of keeping my mind alive.”

Williamson’s imaginative horizons
expanded radically in 1926 when he wrote away for a free issue of the newly-launched
Amazing Stories, the first magazine
devoted solely to “scientifiction”.
It was herethat Williamson first
encountered the work of A. Merritt via a reprint of the short story “The People
of the Pit.” Inspired by the “color,
wonder, the magic of sheer imagination” of Merritt’s writing, Williamson began
submitting stories for publication and had his first story, the Merritt-esque “The
Metal Man” published in Amazing Stories in
1928.

Williamson eventually found a more
naturalistic voice, aided by other literary mentors and collaborators including
Miles J. Breuer and John W. Campbell, Jr., the legendary editor of Astounding and Unknown magazines. The most well-known works of the first phase of
Williamson’s career are the Legion of Space stories, a star-spanning riff on Alexandre Dumas’
The Three Musketeers with the addition of the Falstaffian figure of
Giles Habibula, a reformed master criminal of roguish demeanor and enormous
appetites.

During this period
Williamson also twice underwent psychoanalysis, an experience that he found very
positive for his personal and creative development. You’d be forgiven for
thinking the opposite though, given how his reactions to psychoanalysis
informed Darker Than You Think, his
fantasy-horror tale of a psychic, probability-altering, shapeshifting parallel
human species that underlies the legends of
