I Struggle to Homebrew for 5e (or 5.5e, for that matter)...
I'm sure this is just because I'm inexperienced, BUT I struggle tremendously trying to figure out how to homebrew Monsters and Magic Items for these latest generations of Dungeons & Dragons. Mechanically speaking, unless I've missed something, we aren't given much besides "look at what was already made and just reskin it". If that is the only way to do it...I personally don't like it.
I just want a solid, balanced guide that can help us create more for our own settings. Does anyone else feel this way or am I just whining into the void?
