For those of you on Foundry, a module for Spells from the Forgotten Vault was added yesterday. It's included for free when you purchase the PDF on DTRPG 😁 To use it, just download the zipped archive from DTRPG, navigate to wherever you keep your Foundry data, and extract the content in the...

Should also mention that we have a Discord server if you want any help with the A5e Foundry system specifically. We also have channels for bug reports, feature requests, and a whole host of them for 3PP content modules. Basically anything ever published for A5e is available for the Foundry...

Yeah, The Forge is definitely the most commonly used of the various hosting services. I can't speak to whether it's the best, as I haven't tried the others, but it certainly does the job. Just FYI, Foundry license keys are going to be on offer for 10 days starting tomorrow as part of their...

It can be exactly that simple. Foundry has a number of hosting partners who provide basically a Roll20-like experience for Foundry. You can find some information about those here: Partnerships | Foundry Virtual Tabletop For self-hosting, there's some setup involved which may be challenging...

Just a small note: the reason this stuff doesn't have a text field is because there are actually full documents that you can drag onto your sheet for these things. When you drop something like a destiny or culture onto a character sheet, the actor is populated with the features, equipment...

Might be crossing those fingers for a while, I'm afraid. I don't know that there's anyone getting 3PP A5e content into Roll20 right now like we are for Foundry. If people know devs who do that kind of work, definitely encourage them to reach out to 3PPs. I'm sure there's a great interest in...

It's not that you wouldn't know that it's happening, but teleportation presents a different kind of opening to somebody moving away, and this maneuver simply may not capture that expertise. There are other maneuvers which trigger when an enemy attempts to cast a spell.

I had considered this, but I think teleportation is out for another reason. When teleporting, a creature is only going to leave your reach when it arrives at its destination point. The movement is instantaneous, and by time you're able to use Warning Strike, the creature isn't typically going to...

Yeah, absolutely. One very basic combo that you can use is to combine this maneuver with a simple Shove. If your target fails their save by any amount, they're out of normal weapon range, so dropping them to 0 movement speed can be very potent. It also lets you recover the attack lost in the...

The first paragraph doesn't contain any mechanical information. It's all fluff, and we can ignore that. The mechanics of the maneuver are in the second paragraph. As we can see above, the only condition for Warning Strike is that a creature that you can see leaves your reach. The attack is not...

Just to correct a couple of things here, it's possible to import content to Foundry from Roll20. There are importers like the one for D&D Beyond. Here is one such example: GitHub - kakaroto/R20Converter Once again, this is behind a Patreon paywall, but most users are going to get a membership...

The system has been open to feedback the entire time. I can't guarantee features for 5e will be particularly high-priority, but I can still note them down. Low-hanging fruit have a good chance of making it in in the near future.

@vampeal Just wanted to let you know that we now have all of the synergy feats included in the system compendia. You just need to update to version 0.7.5.

Yep, something along those lines is the plan. EDIT: Should add that for 3PPs, the best solution is just native support, and we're currently working towards that. You can ship compendia that conditionally load depending on the system, so users would be able to purchase a single premium module...

Thankfully, the A5e SRD at least includes basically everything in the core books, but with a bunch of new things on the horizon, more and more content is going to fall outside of that core set. I've been working with 3PPs, like Timespike above, to get their content into Foundry as modules, but I...
