    Level Up (A5E) An eldritch whip + added damage clarification

    Could you also comment on eldritch scythe, the wording sounds like that ability only applies half of the scythe force damage to an adjacent target to the warlock. Should it include boosts like Hex damage when computing the half scythe damage?

    Level Up (A5E) Is there a limit to the # of pearls of power I can carry?

    Context: We're playing a fairly high level game (level 11) with a fixed starting gold budget. I started by spending 1800gp on 6 pearls of power, and have expanded that to 3600gp and 12 pearls of power. They appear to be more useful than wands of lightning etc since they aren't attunement and...

    We noticed Rock Dragon references Monstrous Menagerie but we couldn't find it in that source, maybe a typo? Anyone aware of the source of the Rock Dragon (gargantuan dinosaur) https://a5e.tools/node/2596

    Blog (A5E) Meet the all-new official WARMAGE archetype!

    is there clarification on what spells battlefield blaster effects? like wall of fire, or black tentacles (or even druid spells like spike growth, or cleric spells like spiritual guardians) so far we gathered it's designed for instantaneous damage spells like thunderwave, burning hands...

    Level Up (A5E) does warning strike ignore disengage?

    The first paragraph suggests it requires provoking, the second does not. Just asking for clarity, thanks.

    Level Up (A5E) Is Pact of the Blade worth it

    Does thirsting blade count as an extra attack feature? If so it may not stack with eldritch blasts extra attack feature, even though the clever use of the Marshall ability bypasses part of the restriction. Under the extra blast section in Warlock: "This feature otherwise counts as Extra Attack"

    Level Up (A5E) DPR for the Eldritch Blasts: Quick, Detailed, and Messy Observations

    Just caught up on this thread (great work putting it together!) It appears from this wording that Eldritch Scythe when activated with one of multiple attacks doesn't benefit from multiple scythe attacks. "Beginning at 5th level, your Eldritch Blast becomes more vicious. When you use Eldritch...

    Level Up (A5E) An eldritch whip + added damage clarification

    It was my misreading how magic weapon bonuses as pact weapons convey those modifiers to eldritch scythe and eldritch ray. I misunderstood and thought that eldritch scythes counted as pact weapons.

    Level Up (A5E) An eldritch whip + added damage clarification

    WOIN Getting WOIN into roll20s default listings

    I use both but I find that customizing scripts and getting players to join can be easier in roll20. The more the merrier 😉 A helpful person built a functional char sheet too. I found a slight problem with FG going outside of what was supported (more new races from the guide etc). But I...

    WOIN Getting WOIN into roll20s default listings

    Heads up that if we post more roll20 games and become more active in the community by running/playing WOIN games and posting in the LFG forums we can get them added to the official list (which aids looking for group) https://twitter.com/roll20app/status/1114925270924976136
