As a disclaimer: I am basing my list of classes off of the ones available on the D&D Beyond website. There are so many homebrew classes and subclasses for 5e that sadly make me unable to provide a reading list for everyone. Regardless, I highly encourage seeking out this homebrew content, especially by independent creators, or developing your own! There is so much variety out there, and going beyond the confines of the player’s handbook can lead to even more intriguing and unique dungeon crawling heists, and is additionally a way to add more diversity to your tabletop experience. If you know what kind of book your tiefling tarot mage gets lost in, please do share! I love to know what people are reading, in this world or others.
