    Level Up (A5E) What's Your Unofficial Errata?

    I meant the Dread Knight from GG #8. a pure Herald at 1st level can have 4 exertion points per long rest, while a Fighter of the same level has 4 per short rest. This might initially seem ok for what ought to be a half-martial class, but at 20th level the Herald can have a whopping 72 exertion...

    Level Up (A5E) What's Your Unofficial Errata?

    There’s a lot of good suggestions here. My personal one is somewhat of an overhaul to the Herald class and how it handles exertion points to make it work like the Death Knight subclass for the Warlock, and explicitly say that they can’t get extra exertion from a dip into fighter

    Homebrew New Savant Archetypes - the Detective & the Paranormalist, inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft

    So I found your advice pretty helpful and these subclasses feel more robust now. What do you think? Savant Archetype: The Cerebralist (renamed to avoid confusion) Discerning Mind At 1st level, you gain proficiency in Insight, Investigation, and Perception. If you already have proficiency in...

    Homebrew New Savant Archetypes - the Detective & the Paranormalist, inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft

    Your point on Cryptozoology make sense. to your point on Sixth Sense, it was intended to be only per long rest (that must be a typo) you're right, Seance needs a little rework. For Sight Beyond Sight, I felt it was similar in power to Warlock invocations you could get at the same level (and this...

    Homebrew New Savant Archetypes - the Detective & the Paranormalist, inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft

    Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to do it this way to specifically invoke the mind of the character, rather than a specific skill (which could be used with a different modifier in certain circumstances). This way, if you have a couple Herald levels, for instance, the feature wouldn't stack...

    Homebrew New Savant Archetypes - the Detective & the Paranormalist, inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft

    Built from the ground up a couple months ago. Mechanically, the Detective is based on PF2E’s Investigator and O5E’s Inquisitive Rogue, while the Paranormalist draws from O5E’s Spirits Bard and Monster Hunter Ranger in an attempt to realize a a replacement for Wizards in a low-magic / low-fantasy...

    Homebrew New option for goblin characters in a Level Up 5e campaign

    Yeah, that’s probably the more balanced way to do it

    Homebrew New Savant Archetypes - the Detective & the Paranormalist, inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft

    No I’m not; I unfortunately don’t have much disposable income to get such things, so I usually don’t even check the GPG stuff until I see it posted on A5Etools. Why do you ask?

    Homebrew New Savant Archetypes - the Detective & the Paranormalist, inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft

    I wanted to share these homebrew archetypes for the savant, let me know what you think :) Savant Archetype: The Detective Discerning Mind At 1st level, you gain an expertise die on Intelligence or Wisdom ability checks made to locate or identify obscured or out-of-place details, objects, or...

    Homebrew New option for goblin characters in a Level Up 5e campaign

    Hi, I'm new here but I've been lurking around for a while. I love making homebrew, especially where I think there is a niche to be filled. I've made quite a bit for A5E but thought I'd start small with this heritage gift and culture made for goblin PCs. Heritage Gift: Scrappy & Spiteful...
