Does The Endlessness Use D&D 5e SRD? Yes, Fully

Yes. The Endlessness uses the complete D&D 5e SRD 5.2.1.

What This Means

The SRD (System Reference Document) is the official, open-licensed version of D&D 5e rules. Every class, species, spell, and condition in the SRD is implemented in The Endlessness.

What's Included

Classes

All 13 classes:

• Barbarian (Path of the Berserker).
• Bard (College of Lore).
• Cleric (Life Domain).

• Fighter (Champion).
• Monk (Way of the Open Hand).
• Paladin (Oath of Devotion).
• Ranger (Hunter).
• Rogue (Thief).
• Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline).
• Warlock (The Fiend).
• Wizard (School of Evocation).
• Blood Hunter (as added).

Each with full feature progression.

Species

All 9 SRD species:

Human, Dwarf (Hill, Mountain), Elf (High, Wood, Drow), Halfling (Lightfoot, Stout), Dragonborn (all ancestries), Gnome (Rock, Forest), Half-Orc, Tiefling, Goliath.

With full racial traits.

• Cantrips to 9th level.
• Complete mechanics (damage, saves, durations, concentration).
• Ritual tags preserved.
• Proper class access.

See our complete spell list.

Combat Mechanics

• Initiative.
• Action economy.
• Actions, bonus actions, reactions.
• Opportunity attacks.
• Concentration saves.
• Death saves.
• Conditions (all 15 + Exhaustion levels).
• Advantage / disadvantage.

Character Creation

• Ability scores (Standard Array, Point Buy, Rolling).
• Proficiencies.
• Backgrounds.
• Feats (as in SRD).
• Starting equipment.

What's Not in the SRD

Non-SRD content we don't include by default:

• Subclasses beyond SRD options (e.g., Hexblade for Warlock, Moon for Druid).
• Tasha's Cauldron content (optional class features).
• Xanathar's Guide content.
• Fizban's Treasury content.
• Non-SRD spells (e.g., Silvery Barbs, Summon Fey).
• Non-SRD monsters (some common monsters are in the SRD, some aren't).

If you're used to non-SRD options, be aware. The game still plays the same; just with SRD-scoped choices.

Why SRD Only

• Legal compliance. The SRD is licensed for use. Non-SRD is not.
• Rules mastery. The SRD is a complete, balanced ruleset.
• Broader player base. Most D&D 5e experiences draw from SRD.

SRD 5.2.1 Specifically

5.2.1 is the current SRD version. Includes updates from 2024's revised 5e release.

What You Can Expect

• Clerics have Life Domain. You can play Life Cleric.
• Paladins have Oath of Devotion. Iconic but one of several non-SRD options.
• Wizards have School of Evocation. Classic blaster subclass.

If you want Hexblade or Moon Druid specifically, those aren't available. But the SRD offers full-featured, balanced alternatives.

The Endlessness Experience

Playing SRD 5e on The Endlessness is "vanilla 5e" with optional subclasses SRD-scoped. No weird homebrew. No overpowered Tasha's builds. Just clean, balanced D&D 5e.

For more, see our what is the SRD post and our individual class guides.

Final Takeaway

The Endlessness is full SRD 5.2.1. If you know 5e, you know The Endlessness.

Start a character at The Endlessness with confidence that the rules are right.
