This is complete with classes, a variation of the Human race, and details for setting up the four nations.
With that said, you can find a lot more for Avatar and D&D fans, to the point that an Avatar TTRPG seems almost unnecessary.ĭ&D Wiki has a whole World of Avatar: The Last Airbender5e campaign setting.
The line becomes blurry between unofficial you can download for free, and homebrew you can find on the internet for free. So, there’s official material, unofficial material - and then there’s homebrew. There is a lot of homebrew material out there for Avatar, too This is another “pay what you want,” with the suggested price of $3.00. I’m not sure how good this is, but it fit the topic, and thought it should be included. This was specifically designed to give D&D players the ability to create a bender, and adds new spells to flesh out the class.
For a visual look at this, Nerd Immersion did a review and a bit of play testing back in 2016.Īnother PDF out on DMs Guild is Martial Elementalist, an update to Way of the Four Elements Monk, which it says is inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is something that could have been a Kickstarter and fed the need of Avatar fans, except, of course, it didn’t have the official backing. It’s been out for five years, and received an update a few years back based on feedback from players. To be clear, names have been changed in Last of the Lancers, but the descriptions make it clear it is Avatar - just different enough that there is deniable plausibility. It also includes the Vegetable Merchant as a background. It has everything you need - races, classes, feats, weapons, equipment, settings, monsters, and yes that includes Appa and Momo, the most important part. It is, at its core, Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, it’s a “pay what you want” site - you can help out the creator and give them $20, kick them $5 for a Starbucks, or you can just download it for free. This is available through the DMs Guild website, suggested at $19.99. Possibly the best is Incarnate: The Last of the Lacers. There is a lot of created content out on the internet for Avatar in D&D. Unofficial material creates what players and DMs need for the Avatar setting Luckily, there are other resources out there to help. NPC villains, if following the show’s story, would mostly be Monk-style fighters with fire power. Most animals in Avatar are a combination of two animals - Momo was a flying lemur that was really a normal lemur and a bat. For creatures, look at animals that exist in D&D, and combine them.
For a Dungeon Master designing this on their own, start with scenery and settings based on the TV series. As for settings and campaigns, there are not a lot of official D&D resources here. Focusing on just one –maybe taking a few necessary abilities and reworking them differently - makes a really strong and flavorful character, and spending ki easier to manage.īetween the Way of the Elements Monk, and the characters from Tulok’s videos, these will give great templates for player characters. Trying to divide attention among all four elements spreads the focus of the character too thin, especially with a Monk when ki is so limited. Between all of these characters, Aang came out the weakest - Tulok admits as much in the video. From Avatar, he has made Korra, Katara, Toph, Zuko, and of course Aang. YouTuber Tulok the Barbrarian makes fictional characters for D&D. One would have to weaken the class to focus on bending just one element, like most characters in Avatar, right? The description reads, “When you focus your ki, you can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend the four elements to your will, using them as an extension of your body.” There it is - a Way of the Four Elements Monk is basically Aang already. And then there is the particular kind of Monk - Way of the Four Elements. Likewise, when creating the Monk class in D&D, this was designed around the concept of martial arts. When designing the different styles of bending in Avatar, the creators looked at different forms of martial arts. There’s always the varied Way of the Monk subclasses to explore Let’s take a look at several ways to make such characters. But what if you want to play Avatar: The Last Airbender, or Legend of Korra right now, and don’t want to wait for this Kickstarted fully realized TTRPG to release? Well, there are ways you can play as your favorite elemental-bending characters, or your own characters in such a world in Dungeons and Dragons 5e.
It’s clear we want to play this, probably even you. The goal of the Kickstarter was $50,000, and it reached millions of dollars, with weeks left to go. There is an Avatar Legends tabletop RPG coming out.
