    Level Up (A5E) Bear-Bonded, temp HP and rage

    In answer to your question, you CAN submit to GPG and potentially get your stuff published. They announce a pitch call in this forum every few months. Strictly speaking, you don’t actually need to have anything written to pitch to them, just ideas. I like your idea! Probably would steal it for...

    Level Up (A5E) Bear-Bonded, temp HP and rage

    Original author here. First off, thanks for your interest! I had a lot of fun with this one. (Fun fact: original name was "Bear Brother," a nod to a certain cartoon.) Xiphumor's response is basically the way to interpret this. In the interest of word count, providing a lot of "This rule is an...

    Level Up (A5E) Salvaging the Missing Specialist Wizard Options for the Arcanist

    I'm very pro-homebrew at my table, so if they don't like existing options (A5e or O5e), I'd tell them to write it, submit it to me with enough time before the game that I can review it for balance concerns, and then we'll work together as gameplay progresses to keep it in line with other...

    D&D (2024) ANOTHER Possible Monk "Fix"

    It might be too powerful in the sense that I was growing concerned that I was giving the Monk too much at level 1—it's hard to judge how many features are too much and how many are just right. I was also trying to keep in mind multiclassing. Now, I'm personally a fan of multiclassing-friendly...

    D&D (2024) ANOTHER Possible Monk "Fix"

    We have a fundamental misunderstanding here. Rogues solely need Dexterity, really; Wizards Intelligence; Clerics and Druids Wisdom. Those classes only need to focus on one stat to do whatever the class needs to do to be effective, but that doesn’t obviate Constitution being used to increase HP...

    D&D (2024) ANOTHER Possible Monk "Fix"

    I think the idea is worth experimentation, but not necessary if the goal of the Monk is to not be hit in the first place.

    D&D (2024) ANOTHER Possible Monk "Fix"

    After reading ChameleonX's proposed monk fix, I decided to try my hand at my own Here are my goals for this rework: Lean into the fact that I think Monk's should be hard-hitting skirmishers and not tanks. Make Monk fun and fully functional when focusing solely on Wisdom and Dexterity, rather...

    D&D (2024) Monks Are Not Tanks And Shouldn’t Be

    I think most people agree that the monk is a class that’s trying to do too much with too little, but one mistake that many people make in trying to improve the monk is making it tankier, trying to get the class to match up with fighter or barbarian. That’s not what the monk was ever intended to...

    Level Up (A5E) Wait - Berserkers Get Four Skills?

    Oh, you’re good. I’m just saying I like it. The berserker’s main abilities are either very limited use (rage) or you can’t control when, or even if, it’ll happen (Furious Critical). Little always-on treats here and there make me happy.

    Level Up (A5E) Unlikely Wield + 3 Extra Attacks Interaction

    Here's my read: With Additional Attack, you can attack three times. With Two-Weapon Fighting, you can make two additional attacks with your off-hand weapon (provided the above-mentioned conditions are met). With Unlikely Wield, you can wield a third weapon (most creatures are limited to wielding...

    Level Up (A5E) Various Artificer questions and thoughts

    Here's a tangent—anyone else go through Artificer and wish it was a full caster? Could do something kinda like what Pact Magic warlock does—have spell level progression match full casting, cap out at 5th level spells, then have an alternative system provide 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th-level spells.

    Level Up (A5E) Various Artificer questions and thoughts

    As a growing fan of the GPG artificer, I approve of the various thoughts going on here. I like this, I think it's a fair compromise, and I would hope something like this gets noted in future errata. I think it's a bit of a missed opportunity that this wasn't just included in the base class. I...

    Level Up (A5E) New Spell Schools and How to Handle Them

    At some point the A5e heads will need to decide we’ve got enough schools of magic, otherwise this retroactive work will never end.
