Arthurian Legends Subclasses & Monsters for DnD 5e / 5.5e

Long ago, in the ancient lands of Britain, a kingdom rose that would become the heart of one of the greatest legends ever told. Its name was Camelot, and its king was Arthur, a ruler whose name would endure long after his age had passed.

Around the legendary Round Table, Arthur gathered the finest knights of the realm, warriors bound not only by loyalty to their king, but by ideals of courage, honor, and justice. Together, they traveled across Britain, defending the innocent, confronting dangerous enemies, and undertaking quests that would test both their strength and their character.

Yet the world beyond Camelot was far from ordinary. Ancient forests concealed forgotten mysteries, enchanted lakes guarded powerful secrets, and strange creatures wandered lands where magic had existed long before the rise of kingdoms. Among those who understood these ancient forces was Merlin, the legendary wizard whose wisdom and sorcery helped shape the destiny of Arthur and his knights.

Beyond the safety of castle walls, supernatural guardians, cursed warriors, and mythical beasts awaited those brave enough to seek adventure. Some offered challenges of strength, while others tested the courage, loyalty, and honor of those who crossed their paths.

From the legendary sword Excalibur to the mysteries of Avalon and the sacred quest for the Holy Grail, the tales of King Arthur have inspired generations with stories of heroism, betrayal, friendship, and ancient magic.

But the greatest legends are not simply about kings, knights, or powerful swords. They are about the choices made when courage is tested and the sacrifices required to remain true to one's ideals.

The roads beyond Camelot are waiting, and there are still legends left to be written.

Arthurian Legends: Subclasses & Monsters for 5e brings the legendary world of Camelot to your tabletop, drawing inspiration from the Knights of the Round Table, Merlin's ancient magic, enchanted forests, and the mythical creatures of Arthurian folklore.

Inside this supplement, you'll discover two unique subclasses and five monsters, designed to capture the spirit of Arthurian legends through heroic knights, powerful sorcery, and supernatural encounters.

Oath of the Round Table – Paladin Subclass

Paladins who swear the Oath of the Round Table embody the ideals of chivalry, honor, and loyalty. Inspired by Arthur's legendary knights, they dedicate themselves to protecting their companions, defending the innocent, and standing together against overwhelming threats.

School of Merlin – Wizard Subclass

Wizards of the School of Merlin study the ancient magical traditions of Britain, mastering forgotten arcane knowledge, mystical enchantments, and the secrets of prophecy. Their magic draws inspiration from Merlin's legendary wisdom and the mysterious powers of Avalon.

5 Arthurian Monsters

Face five legendary creatures inspired by Arthurian mythology, enchanted forests, supernatural guardians, and ancient British folklore, including the mysterious Green Knight, a spectral warrior who challenges the courage and honor of those who encounter him.
