5e Pages[edit]

5e Articles with a "Wording Issues" template.
Page Name Notes
Aetheri (5e Race) Traits like darkvision should be written out.
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.
Arcanaloth (5e Race) Lots of problems with the syntax.
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 Puppeteer (5e Subclass) Needs a look-over.
Argus (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...
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.
Artificer, 3rd Variant (5e Class) the fluff text is exactly the same from the https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/1_UA_Artificer_20170109.pdf
Artificer, 4th Variant (5e Class) the fluff text is exactly the same from the https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/1_UA_Artificer_20170109.pdf
Artificer, 5th Variant (5e Class) the fluff text is exactly the same from the https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/1_UA_Artificer_20170109.pdf
Artificer, 7th Variant (5e Class) Cunning Inventors and Intense Rivalries sections are word for word copies from the same sections on the https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/1_UA_Artificer_20170109.pdf
Artoni (5e Race) Many of the features are loose, use imprecise language, or are mechanically unsound.
Augumented, Variant (5e Subclass) Grammar, capitalization, needs more full sentences.
Aventureiro (5e Class) Waiting for OP to translate it into English, see talk
Awakened Doll (5e Race) A lot of this is written in a way that is obscuring in comparison to the straightforward wording normal of 5e. Please use more standard 5e terminology to properly explain what the ability increases even ARE. Otherwise, this mechanically is nothing but a bunch of ribbons. Please use official material for reference. Also, units of measurement should be written out.
Beast Dominator (5e Class) The text needs to be translated to English (or moved to a userpage).
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.).
Big Dipper (5e Class) see the talk page
Black Metal (5e Class) This needs to be written in English and not any other language.
Block Alien (5e Race) Animal imitation needs to be made into full sentences.

Book of Life Stealing (5e Trap) Hard to read.
Boon of the Allseeing (5e Epic Boon) Does not adhere to proper 5e mechanics wording

Bucky the Aarakocra (5e Subclass) Does not use standard wording as per PHB.
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. 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...
Chaos Crystal (5e Trap) This feels less like a trap and more like a random collection of spontaneous effects.
Charmed, I'm Sure (5e Feat) Needs some cleanup, especially bullet 3. Not well versed enough in charm to evaluate balance
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.
Circle of the Graft (5e Subclass) Unreadable.
Claymate (5e Creature) Incomplete. Grammar problems throughout all text.
Clover Grimoire User (5e Class) Bad and unclear wording throughout. Spells description are especially undecipherable
Cold Fingers (5e Spell) Basically unplayable.
Colossus (5e Race) Very weird mechanical wording. Definetly needs a once over or two.
Craisty (5e Race) Grammar issues, spelling errors... etc.
Creature Features (5e Variant Rule) Incorrect capitalization, and wording throughout.
Credit Rating (5e Skill) Abundant spelling mistakes.
Crimson Templar (5e Class) Class features need to be written to match 5e standards.

Cultivation Monk (5e Class) Full of grammatical errors
Cup (5e Race) See the 5e Race Design Guide.
Daartanhem (5e Race) Some of the wording could be tightened up to match that of first-party content (firbolg casting, eg). The spells should also be linked.
Dalamar's Chasm Chains (5e Spell) Spell's effect requires clarification, ending condition is unclear.
Dancer, 4th Variant (5e Class) The description text of this class is a word for word copy from the Dancer, and should be changed to be a real "variant" of the original class.
Dark Double (5e Spell) The effect is unclear.
Dealer, Variant (5e Class) Capitalization mistakes throughout.
Death Knight, 2nd Variant (5e Class) Unnecessary capitalizations are abundant here.
Demon Wielder (Chainsaw Man) (5e Class) Needs to be corrected.
Devil King (5e Class) Spelling, grammar, and sentence structure need much improvement.
Devoid (5e Race) The use of words like "ability" and some of the overall wording is not very clear and concise to 5e standard wording.
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.
Divine Chains (5e Spell) Unreadable block of text

Ed Kid (5e Race) Requires a rewrite to use 5th edition terminology and many traits need to actually make sense.
Eldritch Gunslinger (5e Class) This class has a few grammatical errors found throughout. Things like class names not being capitalized, grit not being capitalized, and misspelled words all need to be fixed.
Elemental Dancer (5e Class) Much of this page suffers from lacking mechanical clarity.
Elemental Mage (5e Class) Elemental Features needs to be worded more clearly, and the rest of the page needs more general cleanup.
Empyrean Automata (5e Race) Expertise is rogue class skill in 5e. Several traits are worded very loosely.
Enchanted Lights (5e Equipment) The wording is too broad and non-specific. "can see" "lower-level" "maybe".
Enfield (5e Race) Race names are not capitalized.
Evolutionist 2.0 (5e Class) There are a lot of incorrect capitalization and grammar issues.
Evorian (5e Race) Traits needs to be worded with mechanical benefits. What does making out details on objects do?
Explosion of happiness (5e Spell) It is unclear from current description what this is supposed to do, exactly. "+3 happiness points"?
False Origin (5e Subclass) See talk page.
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." Ability scores and skills should be linked.
Faveur des dieux (5e Feat) Needs to be in English. 15:56, 24 September 2023 (MDT)
Favorisé par le divin Needs to be in English. 15:57, 24 September 2023 (MDT)

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.
Forgotten Archangel (5e Race) Portions of the page are not english
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. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. For example, "you regain use of this trait after finishing a long rest." not "once per long rest", "swimming speed of X feet." not "swim speed".
Gambler (5e Subclass) Standard grammatical errors throughout.
Gargoyle (5e Race) Damage types shouldn't be capitalized. Several racial traits are worded incorrectly. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Gem Galaxies GemKind (5e Race) Many traits use improper mechanical wording and phrasing.
God Slayer (5e Class) 5e does not have a 'competency bonus', is this meant to mean proficiency bonus?
Gourd (5e Equipment) Capitalization is all over the place. Total concentration breathing seems like a proper noun, but isn't capitalized, while the entire first sentence is in camel case.
Grid Shield (5e Equipment) Random punctation, concerning capitalization
Grimm Kin (5e Class) Every word is capitalized.
Hakurouken (Rebalanced) (5e Equipment) Requires editing for conciseness and formatting
Half-Goblin Variant (5e Race) Capitalization errors. Please see Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.

Hexer Variant (5e Class) see the talk page
Hollow Shinigami (5e Class) Ability should only be used to refer to Strength, Dexterity, Charisma, etc.

Hollower Variant (5e Class) The grammar, spelling, and capitalization need to be fixed.
Hutcher (5e Class) It's xth level, not level x.
Igneous Suffocation (5e Spell) 5e content should be written in present tense, not future tense.
Immovable Object (5e Equipment) The heave property is confusing.
Iron Avenger (5e Class) Almost impossible to read through.
Jaeger (5e Equipment) More description is needed to clarify how these opposing properties are supposed to work together. If it's supposed to be two (or three?) weapons in one, this should be better clarified; and each half of the weapon should specify which properties it uses.
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.
Kakkarot (5e Subclass) Typos and mechanical vagueness throughout.
Kaonashi (5e Race) Greatly strays from 5e terminology
Key of mimicry (5e Equipment) Difficult to read through.
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.

Lucario, 2nd Variant (5e Race) Capitalization and italization. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize.
Lutador do Luar (5e Subclass) Not english - all wiki pages must be english
Machine Lifeform (5e Race) Capitalization of words that do not follow Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize. Also in need of some links to the SRD for skills and ability scores.
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
Momokin (5e Race) Needs to be checked.
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. For example, "Your size is Medium." not "Medium", "You are proficient in the Athletics skill." not "You are proficient with the Strength (Athletics) skill", etc...
Muffin Man Patron (5e Subclass) Does not use standard wording as per PHB.
Multi-Elemental Combustion (5e Spell) Awkward wording and mechanics, along with non-standard durations and damage types. Doesn't help that it condenses 4 different types of fireball into one spell.
Mushoid (5e Race) Enormous block of text
MyFeat (5e Feat) dead Spelling and grammar needs improving throughout
Necron, Variant (5e Race) grammatical errors, Many race features are using incorrect wording
Ninja Shinobi (5e Class) This page requires translation into English.
Noro's Bone Crush (5e Spell) Written too conversationally, far from 5e standards
Nosgoth Vampire (5e Race) This does not meet 5e standards.
Not So Fragile Glass Cannon Gish (5e Optimized Character Build) Sentence structure, and some wording.
Nue (5e Race) Darkvision wording needs to be written out. Race names do not need capitalization. The trait granting flying speed needs proper recharge wording.
Nuh Uh (5e Spell) Free action is not really a thing in 5e.
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 Skywatcher (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.
Odin's Lost Eye (5e Equipment) 5e doesn't use "per X" wording (most magic weapons use something along the lines of "this can be used once, regaining use at dawn"). 5e doesn't have "combat" as a mechanical term, it has initiative.
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.
Pact of the Cursed Warrior Warlock (5e Subclass) Does not use standard wording as per PHB.
Pegasifolk (5e Race) Some spelling errors and wrong wording like "once per long rest." HPM should also be written out.
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.

Prismatic Cube (5e Creature) Grammar

Protean (5e Race) A number of spelling/grammatical/capitalization errors throughout. Consult the Help:When to Italicize and Capitalize for help.
Psion, Discipline Variant (5e Class) This class's wording needs to be cleaned up as there are countless grammatical errors (spells should be italicized and not capitalized, missing punctation, the name of the class shouldn't be capitalized) and some unclear features throughout (how exactly features recharge, some info on mechanics that is missing, etc).
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.
Renamon (5e Race) Units of measurement should be written out.
River Siren (5e Race) Capitalization and grammar errors.
Roukanken (Rebalanced) (5e Equipment) Requires editing for conciseness and formatting
Rubber Warrior (5e Class) Mechanics do not conventional structures.
Rugbysta (5e Class) Are grammar and misspellings part of the joke?
Rune Knight (5e Class) Several features use improper, or imprecise language.
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.
Ryomen's Cleave (5e Spell) This spell has a lot of clunky wording that makes it confusing to understand. Moreover, it uses an excessive amount of math to produce what is quite honestly a rather mundane effect, and could stand to be simplified down so that it's more understandable and usable by the average 5e layman.
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.
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
Sergal (5e Race) There are incomplete sentences, as well as grammar/spelling mistakes speckling the page. The race names also do not need to be capitalized unless the derivative content uses that format (like Pokemon)
Serpent-Kin (5e Race) Mechanical wording is missing or a bit weird in places ("abdicate", "while grabbing, you are not incapacitated", eg.)
Serpentine (5e Race) Needs to be proof checked.
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". Uses meters instead of feet, and uses level x instead of xth level.
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
Shroomfolk (5e Race) Racial names do not need capitalization unless they are derivative content from a franchise that does so. Also, since the spore launch grows a mushroom on something, shouldn't the base spore launch be unable to affect creatures without stable bodies, like how the death cap sickening spores are written?
Sickly Staff of Life (5e Equipment) Requires editing pass for capitalization
Silversmith (5e Feat) Third bullet is unclear, and seems to restate second bullet
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.
Sith, 2nd Variant The Camel Case Is Pretty Bad. Missing the identifier.
Skaven Warplock Engineer (5e Class) The grammar is awful.
Sky Mage (5e Class) Class is excessively wordy. Consider moving Domain Spells to 5e Spells.
Slimeborg (5e Race) This race has 3.5eisms and need to be changed to 5e.
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.
Spell Mine (5e Spell) Requires rewrite for clarity and conciseness, presumably along the lines of Glyph of Warding's Explosive Runes
Spinjitsu (5e Spell) Technical information for the description is lacking.
Spirit Bound Hunter (5e Class) some grammar errors
Staff of Thu (5e Equipment) Hard to read.
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.
String Human (5e Class) Spelling, capitalization, and syntax errors throughout.
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.
Swordsman's Blessing (5e Blessing) While reading this, it is like hearing coarse sand paper rubbing together.
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 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 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 Pactbreaker (5e Subclass) Some features don't use any game mechanics at all.
The Starwalker (5e Subclass) Needs to be looked over.
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."
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.
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.
Ultra Power Awakening (5e Spell) Uses 'per rest'. I think the success/fail text is supposed to be reversed.
Umbra Witch (5e Class) There are a lot of things that should not be capitalized, as well as incorrect language in the class features.
Uncrowned Undeafeated Lioness (5e Class) Capitalization and spelling are all over the place.
Untouchable knight (variant) (5e Class) Almost impossible to read through.
Uo Uo no mi model: seiryu (5e Subclass) Unreadable.
Uxar (5e Race) Numerous traits do not follow 5e standards.
Vampire, Noble (5e Race) Several traits are poorly and unclearly worded.
Venom Human (5e Class) help me correct my grammar. A more detailed list of an articles grammatical mistakes should be presented on the talk page; if desirable.--> Severe spelling errors throughout
Virtuous Assassin (5e Class) Full of grammatical errors
Void Champion (5e Class) Needs a rewrite.
Void Walker (5e Race) Lack of capitalization, punctuation, and proper grammar throughout
Voodoist (5e Class) Requires large amounts of grammatical help in virtually every area.
Vorik's Wing (5e Race) On a second glance, the traits are written incorrectly. Size should be written out, even if you already speak about this in phys. descr. The glider as an inherent racial thing feels a little strange since it is not a simple thing like the gnome's tinker trait, but such a complex thing that it requires its own section on the page entirely. So shouldn't the speed be put over there instead, along with crafting (unless the wording is corrected to reflect something like lizardfolk)? Normal vision usually doesn't have a section in 5e, and even in 4e is only mentioned. Tail, Climbing, Resistance, and Immunity all need to be written out in proper terminology and complete sentences. The base AC also needs the standard natural armor wording and formula.
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 (5e Template) 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.
Zírán (5e Race) needs help with english in some places, written not according to 5e nomenclature
Ætherborn (Variant) (5e Race) Random capitalization, some phrases are unsound in english, strays from 5e descriptions
มีดแหก Title is not english

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
