5e Articles with a "Wording Issues" template.
Page Name Notes
Alter Ego (5e Feat) The mechanics that are mentioned, do not exist, like a mind gaining proficiency in a skill.
Ancient Kaeozzoidian Dragon (5e Creature) This article does not follow proper 5e wording. Scales should be simplified/made more understandable.
Antimagic (5e Variant Rule) This could use some cleanup to make it easier to read and understand exactly what this rule does.
Arcana Wild Summoner (5e Class) This page becomes rapidly less clear as it goes on.
Arcane Firearm Modifications (5e Variant Rule) The article needs a brush up on language.
Arcane Lobber (5e Class) Spelling and grammar need much improvement. The class also has several instances of features that use the "per long/short rest" wording, see Class Do's and Don'ts (5e Guideline).
Arcane Meditation (5e Feat) Confusing and nonspecific wording, requires editing pass for clarity
Arcane Puppeteer (5e Subclass) Needs a look-over.
Archangel's Blessed Armor (5e Equipment) Does not use conventional mechanics for magic items.
Argus (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.

For example, "Your size is Medium." not "Medium", "You are proficient in the Athletics skill." not "You are proficient with the Strength (Athletics) skill", "Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1." not "STR+2, CON+1", etc...
Arkin (5e Race) there are grammatical errors and wording issues on this page that needs to be addressed before this can be considered a completed work.

Beast Within (5e Class) Does not use standard wording as per PHB.
Bedwarfer (5e Race) Lackluster fluff, multiple grammar problems throughout, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors
Belial (5e Deity) Mixes fae, and fey. Remove parenthesis and integrate them into sentences naturally, or discard them. Strange capitalization. Several bits seems to contradict each other by using the word 'actually'. Much of the language is too casual. Needs a run through.
Bell-Walker (5e Class) Errors of capitalization throughout the text. The wording of the features doesn't follow the standard of the official classes.
Berryling (5e Race) Numerous instances of misspelling and incorrect wording according to 5e standard ("up to times equal", "must do a X save", eg.). Refer to comparable wording on Featured Articles for help.
Beskar'gam (5e Equipment) As a whole, most of the armor's properties need wording tweaks or need to be rewritten to follow 5e wording. Some of this armor's wording issues include: this armor having a number of capitalization issues, missing punctation, and some properties also missing clarification for how exactly they work like the Vambrace weapons (range, what type of attack, etc.).
Betraying Blessing (5e Disease) This page fails to utilize proper 5e terminology. The word ability should never be used except to refer explicitly to one of the 6 abilities in DnD.

Black Metal (5e Class) This needs to be written in English and not any other language.

Caribespeon (5e Race) "You have a flying speed of 6 double jumps" and other glaring errors.
Centiperson (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.

For example, "Your size is Medium." not "Medium", "You are proficient in the Athletics skill." not "You are proficient with the Strength (Athletics) skill", "Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1." not "STR+2, CON+1", etc...
Chaos Crystal (5e Trap) This feels less like a trap and more like a random collection of spontaneous effects.
Cheap Potion of Transmutation (5e Equipment) This wall of text is illegible.
Chick Thrower (5e Class) Abound with mis-spelled words, incomprehensible sentences, features, and other such problems.
Circle of Death (5e Subclass) This reads about as smoothly as torn sandpaper.
Circuiti magici(5e Equipment) Not english
Claymate (5e Creature) Incomplete. Grammar problems throughout all text.

Credit Rating (5e Skill) Abundant spelling mistakes.
Crimson Templar (5e Class) Class features need to be written to match 5e standards.

Dalamar's Chasm Chains (5e Spell) Spell's effect requires clarification, ending condition is unclear.

Dark Double (5e Spell) The effect is unclear.
Dealer, Variant (5e Class) Capitalization mistakes throughout.

Devourer (5e Race) From a glance, there's a few standardization issues with the traits, using per rest wording and such.
Dhampir (5e Subrace) "resistance to charm effects" means "advantage on saving throws against magic that tries to charm you", or "immunity to charmed condition"? Some weird capitalization.
Dice-kin (5e Race) Difficult to read.
Dire Damage (5e Variant Rule) Large number of grammar, spelling, and capitalization errors. Many things need to be rewritten for clarity. "same as" should typically be copied, and have the keywords specific to that part replaced. "will save" isn't a thing in 5e, if it's another variant please link to it. 'Note' is used very liberally throughout the page, and should be reexamined for impact. These notes can likely be restructured to flow naturally from one point to another. As this is a rule, mechanics should be firm and well defined, instead of wishy washy (Ex. "rolls likely being 19 or 21").
Dire Death (5e Variant Rule) Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and terminology issues throughout.
Dire Ghoul (5e Creature) Rife with spelling errors.
Displacer Kin (5e Race) Limited Displacement uses 'it' too frequently to properly explain the trait.

Ed Kid (5e Race) Requires a rewrite to use 5th edition terminology and many traits need to actually make sense.

Elemental Dancer (5e Class) Much of this page suffers from lacking mechanical clarity.

Enfield (5e Race) Race names are not capitalized.
Eternal War School (5e Subclass) I am trying to understand this page, but I really am not sure how the mechanics are supposed to work.
Evorian (5e Race) Traits needs to be worded with mechanical benefits. What does making out details on objects do?

Farborn (5e Race) Race names should not need capitalization unless they are from derivative content that uses that style of writing (camelcase, eg). Alignments also do not need capitalization, and units of measurement should be written out ("feet" instead of ', eg). Same for "armor class", instead of "AC," and "saving throws" instead of "saves."

Ferengi (Star Trek Supplement) Wording needs corrected.
Fisherman (5e Class) remember, all classes on the wiki must be written in English
Flame Demon, Variant (5e Class) Features are incorrectly structured.
Flay (5e Spell) not written according to 5e wording, lacks a bit of clarity because of that
Forced Teleportation (5e Spell) Requires edit for clarity and conciseness
Forest Mutation (5e Race) many features are not written according to 5e standards. Random H&W table is incompatible with the description in Size. Right now the average rolled height will be around 8.125 feet tall, with a minimum of 2.58 feet, and maximum of 13.67 feet.
Form Thief (5e Subclass) Everything past the actual features here makes no sense.
Freelancer (5e Class) The inserted text should not start with an exclamation point. The class features need to state at which level they are gained in the text. It's xth level not level x.
Frost Lance (5e Equipment) spells need their own pages created, then linked in the description, capitalization errors
Fujin (5e Equipment) Requires editing for conciseness and formatting
Furkin (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.

Great Spirit (5e Race) Traits need more mechanical grounding and standardized links, etc.
Grid Shield (5e Equipment) Random punctation, concerning capitalization

Half Vampire (5e Race Variant) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization errors throughout.

Iron Avenger (5e Class) Almost impossible to read through.

Joryun (5e Race) Race names are still not capitalized unless at the front of a sentence. Ability scores are also written out and linked, as are units of measurements.
Kaeozzoidian Trained Dragon (5e Equipment) This article does not follow proper 5e wording. Also, this should probably be a creature, not a vehicle. Draelm (talk) 16:18, 18 October 2020 (MDT)

Kitsune, 5th Variant (5e Race) Erroneous use of capitalization on race names.
Kumiho (5e Race) There are capitalization errors of race names and overall spelling and grammar issues. Trait wording also needs fixing so they don't say something like "str/dex" and are more mechanically sound and less vague.
Labaranthine (5e Race) Grammatical and spelling errors, as well as capitalization. See when to Capitalize for help.
Latex Beast (5e Race) Some of the terminology is wonky ("during deathsaves"?). Skills should also be linked.
Lord (Fire Emblem) (5e Class) This class has a several instances of unclear or incorrect wording. In particular, the subclasses could use some cleanup and further explanation as to how some features work.

Magic Kanji (5e Subclass) Translation in progress
Mask of the Doctor (5e Equipment) Text is rambling and unclear, requires thorough rewrite to even approach viability
Masked Warrior (5e Class) Several dozen standardization problems with most of the features. Much of the content could also be much more condensed or easier to read.

Additionally, the epic levels both need to stop using a 3.5 table and use a proper variant rule for handling levels higher than 20th.

Masks of Forms (5e Equipment) keywords like Brave, Dwarven Toughness, and other racial traits need written out. Players shouldn't be expected to research or refer to other pages to know what their stuff does.
Melano (5e Subrace) expertise is a class feature in 5e. Superior Lightvision says "you lose that". What trait(s) are being referred to specifically?
Mermaid (5e Race) So is this race medium or large? The base says medium but it seems to depend on subrace.
Minecrafter (5e Class) There are multiple grammatical errors that need fixing. Some words are mispelled
More Ability Score Improvements (5e Variant Rule) Very clumsy. Doesn't make sense beyond just a buff.
Mosa Moth (5e Race) Spells should be italicized and units and darkvision should be written out. There are also spelling errors and places where the wording is not to the 5e standard of terminology.
Mudborn (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation.

Muffin Man Patron (5e Subclass) Does not use standard wording as per PHB.

Not So Fragile Glass Cannon Gish (5e Optimized Character Build) Sentence structure, and some wording.
Nullifer (5e Class) This class has significant problems with capitalization and punctuation found throughout the class. Besides that, the class has various other minor grammatical errors scattered about.
Oath of "Throwing it Back" (5e Subclass) See talk page.
Oath of the Skywalker (5e Subclass) '... bonus equal to ...' not equality sign, you do not gain monster traits from class, you just gain features, no need to name them, overall no feature is written according to 5e standard, some other problems here and there. Traits are tied to race.
Octofolk (5e Race) Speeds should be worded like the triton race. Also, incorrect capitalizations for race names, rests, alignments, etc. Also, some spelling errors.
Osmosian (5e Race) Traits are exceedingly wordy and need to be cut down as well as simplified. Other glaring wording errors throughout.
Other One (5e Race) There are several grammatical/capitalization/wording errors throughout. The traits are overly wordy/ ineloquent when they should be written like the first party does. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help on capitalization.
Overhauled Prestige Classes (5e Variant Rule) The creator of this page requests a grammar cleanup.
Pac-Man (5e Race) The language needs to be tightened up a bit so it's not so casual and abridged from proper 5e terminology.
Palademon (5e Race) There are capitalization errors and spelling problems. I fixed some but not all. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Phaseling (5e Class) The last line of the last class feature does not have a clear meaning, if any. There is also an issue with the Pocket Portal feature, as it's diameter is defined as being equal to the phaseling's level, but does not specify which unit (feet, squares, miles) is used for the conversion. Even if the unit is feet, however, which it most likely is, this is in no way a small portal, as the feature would suggest. Also, the level at which a feature is gained should be placed at the beginning of that feature's description, not halfway through.
Pimp's Glove (5e Equipment) This page needs a run through fixing the page's unclear wording and numerous grammatical mistakes.
Planes Walker (5e Class) Class feature need to be properly worded. Also capitalization.
Plantaemancer, Variant (5e Class) There are some grammar uh-ohs and errors ("once per long rest", eg). Also in need of links in some places.

Qinar (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Races (Sfartalheim Supplement) Race names should not be capitalized.
Raesokeran Edentatus (5e Race) A number of grammatical/capitalization/italicization/formatting errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Raesokeran Mustilus (5e Race) "Fear effects" is not a 5e term; it should be the frightened condition. "once per long rest" wording should not be used. Mustilus and Rodentus are not a first party language, explain it(script/ what it sounds like, etc) or use the first party languages. Incorrect capitalization throughout, consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help. Traits are vague and incorrectly worded throughout and should use the first party's wording.
Rag Doll, Variant (5e Race) A number of grammatical/capitalization errors throughout. Missing SRD references. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Re:Ghoul (5e Class) Spelling, grammar and terminology all need considerable improvement.

Rugbysta (5e Class) Are grammar and misspellings part of the joke?
Runesmith (5e Class) Does not use standard wording as per PHB.
Runic Staff (5e Equipment) This only resembles 5e writing, but upon closer look many problems present themselves. There is no such thing as Enchanted bonus, finesse read(reach?), runes, etc.
Saiyan, Variant (5e Creature) 5e doesn't have a "saveguard test" to "survive". "Stats" can also refer to any game number, when you're probably wanting to refer to ability scores. I think what you're trying to say is "Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores increase by 4. When you succeed a saving throw using any of the aforementioned abilities, they increase by 1.
Sakura Storm (5e Equipment) The wording is confusing. See talk page for thoughts.
Salamander Faerie (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. For example, fae, heat damage, race name capitalization, size category capitalization, etc...
Salve-Maker (5e Class) Terminology issues, see talk page.
Sangue Corrupto (5e Class) Not written in English - all wiki pages must be written in English
Scythe of the End (5e Equipment) Block of text sufficient to outsize the Great Wall of China
SeaWings (5e Race) Subrace wording is clumsy and requires clarification of actual mechanical effects. Uses meters instead of feet. Suggest removing camelCase.
Seaclaimed Pirate (5e Class) Expertise is not a keyword in 5e. It's a class feature of rogues.
Sendo Monk (5e Class) Does not follow the standards. See talk page.
Sentient Snake (5e Race) Things like natural armor should use standard 5e wording
Serpentine (5e Race) Needs to be proof checked.
Shadow Master (5e Class) The mechanical wording is extremely poor. Incorrect terminology is everywhere.
Shadow Monarch, 3rd Variant (5e Class) Servant Shadow needs to be rewritten. It seems to use shadows (plural) to refer to both the shadow that your PC casts naturally, and to refer to shadows of others creatures as well. When speaking of the servant the text should use the words "shadow servant" not just shadow (singular). The whole section could likely benefit from use of small titles (;) to divide the content and be reorganized (telepathic communication should appear much earlier in the section). Shadow Dimension, Monarch Dimension, Shadow Vault, etc. should be consolidated or made very clear. Other wording issues.
Shadow Monarch, Variant (5e Subclass) This subclass's wording is confusing and unclear at times, and it also frequently uses non-standard wording such as health, once per long rest, etc. The Attempt feature as a whole likely needs to be completely reworded/reworked because as it stands it requires a decent bit of math and is pretty convoluted.
Shadow Sovereign (5e Class) A majority of this page is awkwardly written.
Shadowhunter (5e Class) Typos everywhere. Isn't consistent on how the class name should be written. The word "per" shouldn't be anywhere, see Class Do's and Don'ts (5e Guideline)
Shadowling (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Shadowy Double (5e Spell) The effect is somewhat unclear.
Shapeshifter (5e Race) The article fails to use proper 5e wording. Traits should be wrote in 2nd person, and use complete sentences. Non-keyword words are used with the idea that they are already defined 5e terms, even though they are not. Ex. "lifesteal".
Shazam (5e Class) This does not seem to use the rules for D&D 5e. Terminology such as "CD", "electrical damage", "CA becomes 20", "your body increases 10 feet", "1/4 of your maximum life".
Sheikah, Variant (5e Class) This class has many wording issues ranging from problems with missing punctuation, incorrect capitalization(class names are not capitalized), and unclear features(as outlined above).
Shieldbearer (5e Class) Frequent uses of "free action". Needs fixing
Sickly Staff of Life (5e Equipment) Unreadable block of text
Silver Blue (5e Class) Numerous formatting, spelling, and capitalization errors, does not use 5e wording or mechanics, page lacks any consistency as to its name, borderline nonsensical
Simic Hybrid, Variant (5e Race) This page has several different grammatical problems, lists things that are not terms in 5e(expertise is a class feature, per day wording is not used, see the dragonborn's breath weapon as an example), among several other problems.
Sir Jaroid's Sword of Light (5e Equipment) This article does not follow proper 5e wording. You can find some general guidelines in the Equipment Design article. Draelm (talk) 16:26, 18 October 2020 (MDT)
Sir Jaroid (5e Creature) This article does not follow standard 5e wording.

Soul Crafter (5e Class) Many things here use abbreviations when they should be written out in entirety (CA, SF, etc.). There are also incomplete sentences here and there, as well as mispellings.
Soulbound (5e Race) The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. For example, race names and conditions aren't capitalized, etc...
Soulect (5e Race) Capitalization and spelling errors.
Souls Keeper Necromancer (5e Class) Spelling, saying level x instead of xth level.
Spatial Summoner (5e Class) There are a lot of incorrect capitalization and grammar issues.

Spin Master (5e Subclass) Terminology does not use rules of D&D 5e.
Spirit Bound Hunter (5e Class) some grammar errors
Stone Gargoyle (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. For example, "Your size is Medium." not "Medium", "You are proficient in the Athletics skill." not "You are proficient with the Strength (Athletics) skill", "Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1." not "STR+2, CON+1", etc...
Storm Razer (5e Class) Be sure not to capitalize needlessly, see Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize. Uses "meters", "extended rest", "You can use another creatures reaction", should be "your reaction", etc. Needs to be proofread.
Storm Reincarnation (5e Class) Has some grammar issues.
Stormborn (5e Class) Revision to meet 5e standards would be appreciated. E.g., "1st level" instead of "level 1." Consider the contents of Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize.
String Human (5e Class) Spelling, capitalization, and syntax errors throughout.
Supreme Wild Shape (5e Feat) This feat's wording is a mess with missing punctuation, incorrect capitalization, and overall a bit unclear wording.
Surrakar, Variant (5e Race) Problematic features' descriptions, for example BIG is not a size category in dnd, swim speed +5 what, elephants? feets? Darkvision is weirdly written, hp
Sword Mage, Variant (5e Class) On the feature Weapon Study you mention that you can become "familiar" with a weapon. But you don't explain what being familiar with a weapon means. I guess that, by "familiar", you mean "bonded", like the Eldritch Knight feature, that you mention in the My Friends feature, but this should be explained on the feature, and not addressing another class.
Tank (5e Class) "resist all damage from magic" means you take no damage, or you have resistance (half damage) from all magic?
Taris (5e Spell) The effect is somewhat unclear.
The AK-FU (5e Equipment) Needs an editing pass for readability and conciseness
The Bar-Tir (5e Race) A number of spelling/ grammatical/ punctuation/ capitalization/ italicization/ wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help (race names are not capitalized).
The CardSlinger (5e Class) Features have grammar problems, and do not use the correct structure.
The Cold (5e Disease) The effect needs to be worded more clearly.
The Consumed (5e Race) many features are written in a way that makes them unable to be used or understood, like Righteous Fury, World weary or Meld. Written nowhere near 5e standard when comes to racial features
The Elders (5e Pantheon) Unreadable block of text, numerous grammar errors throughout
The Gaelic Gamble (5e Spell) Needs a second set of eyes.
The Gray Plague (5e Disease) Numerous grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
The Hard Hat (5e Equipment) Terrible to read.
The Hillgiant's Holy Hamwich (5e Equipment) Unclear how this interacts with other magical items, how it's level is increased, etc.
The Idol of Zeroth (5e Equipment) It isn't clear exactly how this item functions. Does this item require attunement to have Zeroth possess you? Does this item become non-magical? In addition, various other grammatical errors exist throughout.
The Lich Skull (5e Equipment) This item is extremely mechanically clunky and could benefit from a rewrite.
The Mother's Oath (5e Subclass) wording mistakes throught
The One Who Waits (5e Subclass) Fails to adequately describe features, to the point of incomprehensibility. Spelling and capitalization errors throughout.
The Pactbreaker (5e Subclass) Some features don't use any game mechanics at all.

The Stone Basins Vestige (5e Equipment) The properties of this item are somewhat unclear.
The V3N0M (5e Subclass) How does the player get a hold of the doses of the virus?
Timekeeping Chronomancer (5e Class) This page was copy and pasted here. Many instances of "chronomancer" should be replaced with "timekeeping chronomancer."
Tranquil Knight (5e Class) The text does not follow the standard for wording of features. Please look at features from official classes for reference
Traveller's Backpack (5e Equipment) Confusingly worded. Uses "tier", "stage", and "level" interchangeably. Cannot decided whether it's supposed to be a backpack or a suit. Rename property: Placeholder Name.
Treant, Variant (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague. For example, race names, and alignments shouldn't be capitalized, "mod" should be "modifier", etc. The Musicus Meter (5e Guideline) should help with some of the incorrect wording.
Trophy Fighter (5e Race) Proofreading would be beneficial. Run-on sentence problems.
True Alpha (5e Creature) Numerous capitalization mistakes throughout.
Turtle Cat (5e Race) The fluff and mechanics are very mixed and it's confusing.
Tychomancer (5e Class) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/italicization errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Uchiha (5e Race) This race is extremely bogged down and unnaturally concerned with the exact structure of the campaign one would use. All Fluff needs to be overhauled so that it reads naturally in the form of paragraphs as 1st party races do.
Ultimate Bond (5e Feat) Requires rewrite for capitalization, punctuation, and grammar, could probably use some limiting clauses as well
Umbra Witch (5e Class) There are a lot of things that should not be capitalized, as well as incorrect language in the class features.

Virtue (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization/wording errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. For example, race names aren't capitalized, it should be once you've completed a long rest not once per long rest(see PHB errata), "Your size is Medium." not "Your size is medium.", "Your Wisdom score increases by 2." not "Gain + 2 to Wisdom.", etc...
Virtuous Assassin (5e Class) Full of grammatical errors

Voodoist (5e Class) Requires large amounts of grammatical help in virtually every area.
Warden (5e Race) Spelling errors
Warhammer of Balance (5e Equipment) Uses "per rest" phrasing. Other wording is confusing. The word for the stored 'damage' should be changed. Maybe healing points?
Warmonger (5e Class) Grammar problems throughout.
Way of the Mythological Creatures (5e Subclass) Some of the language is mechanically inaccurate and need clarifying. Features should be written in 2nd person.
Were human (5e Disease) The two variable game types need to be explained with mechanics.
Wool Witch (5e Class) Wording is poor throughout. Features are called spells, and the article is written in an overly casual manner. bided is not a condition. bleeding is not a damage type. meters instead of feet.
Wraith Host (5e Class) This entire class features some slopping grammar and spelling.
Yharnam Hunter (5e Class) No feature is written according to 5e convenctions
Yuan-Ti Lord The forms should use more precise language and preferably be linked to pages that fully describe them. Ex. Giant Constrictor does not contain a size category, nor is its description entirely sufficient for play. A linked creature page would be great.

Ætherborn (Variant) (5e Race) Random capitalization, some phrases are unsound in english, strays from 5e descriptions

Dark Armor (5e Class)
Divine Salient Abilities (5e Class Feature) Half of this features are described in a way that makes them impossible to use. Example: "Perfect dodge. It's almost like you're playing Exalted." What does it do? How can I use it? What even is going on?
Hog Rider (5e Class) Not a one sentence in feature description(beside those that increases your ability scores) is written correctly, in accordance to 5e standards, or in a way that makes them usable
