Level Up (A5E) What are "Subtle Changes" in LU?

[MarkB]

Polearm Savant (original name: Polearm Master), a creature can use its reaction to avoid the OA from it. That really nerfs the feat in many cases.

It does keep you nicely mobile, though - a creature that uses its reaction during its own turn doesn't get it back until its next turn, so they won't be getting an OA against you if you back off, nor can they Fall Back if you decide to Press the Attack.

To start us off: Somatic (now called Seen) components no longer require a free hand for a spellcaster. If the spell does not have a material component, you can cast it while tied up without issue.

Doesn't this make the second benefit of the Battle Caster Feat (pg 380) redundant?

Yep, already sent an error report for it.

It sort of does, yeah, but keep something else in mind: if you're using Monstrous Menagerie stat blocks, you may be glad for the "nerf" if the monster opts to burn its reaction this way. A good numberof the new monsters have nasty reaction abilities.

The Ranger's Trained Accuracy adjusts the "Archery" combat style slightly. When using Trained Accuracy abilities, you get a +2 to damage instead of +2 to attack from that style.

It also looks like you get both Trained Accuracy abilities, though I submitted a request for clarity.

And you don’t actually get the archery fighting style - you don’t get any fighting styles in fact, short of multi classing.

Yeah, fighting styles are unique to the fighter now.

Easy to miss the Rapid Summoning Rules.... you can speed up 1 minute summoning and conjure spells if you are willing to lower the duration.

Geas now requires a spell of equal level to removal, so its a bit trickier to remove.

Glyph of Warding cannot put a glyph within 20 feet of another glyph, so you cannot have a cluster of glyphs near each other. Also you can only use bad spell in the glyphs now, hehe no more "glyphs of buffing"
