I didn't want to go the "I absorb the souls of things" route, more like... "Hey... that giant frog tongue looks like a neat trick to expand my Body Alteration". Maybe allowing you to get new options for BA could be a level 3 feature. The specifics could be put into "recipe books" with a limited...

Yesterday I had another opportunity to test playing an esper (thymkinitic, based on a level 5 version of Momo Ayase from DanDaDan) and yet again (since in "normal" D&D games there usually isn't psionics - maybe "soon" now that a psion class is in UA status) I tried to reflavor the character to...

So what's your houserule on Healing Word then? We are in a thread on A5E houserules after all...

I compiled a few thoughts on DanDaDan with D&D (albeit with the LevelUp/A5E version) under Level Up (A5E) - LevelUp DanDaDan It's still a work in progress but I just did a level 5 Momo

Contiuing with point 3 from the last posting I try to create Momo as an Esper (from Paranormal Power), going with the things shown in the Anime up to level 5. If anyone is interested in the character sheet of a particular level (I'll do them for each level up to 5) drop me a line. Heritage...

Coming back to the original topic: We usually use the standard spread and usually the attribute bonuses from background fit but in rare cases where the "fixed" stat isn't the one you would use your 15 or 13 for I'd allow it to apply to another attribute if the rest of the background would fir...

That's where I got the idea. In the campaign I'm in we find so much loot that I don't have the time and money to do schematics for all the stuff we get. (I got 21 schematics for my level 4/3 artificer/savant - but still a few days ) But I've played in quite a few other games where there weren't...

This thread is intended as some sort of "thinking aloud" for my thoughts on how to convert things as seen on DanDaDan (right now up to Episode 1x12 and mainly based on the Anime). I'll assume people who read this thread to have seen these episodes, so I don't have to fill this with spoilers...

Specific house rules for artificer: If there aren't that many magic items available give "free" schematics every level up (like wizards get free spells into their spellbook) instead of having to have separate schematics for every variation of magical weapons (one schematic for a +1 dagger...

I like the "you can drink a healing potion as a bonus action but if you use an action you get max healing" rule, this way features that allow you to use items as a bonus action stay valid as those would get full heal on a bonus action. Another ruling is stacking the bonus for passive values...

Since the Nightstalker synergy feat takes care of the general "ninja" stuff you could probably choose the most fitting archetypes for "your type of ninja" from the 26 adept and 22 rogue archetypes for A5E (if I didn't miscount) without having to resort to D&D archetypes ;) I must have missed...

For the synergy feats in general it helps to go straight towards them, so 3 levels in one class 3 in the other and then one each so you can get them at levels 7, 8 and 12 respectively. For nightstalker specifically I'd start with Rogue (you lose too many skill and tool proficiencies otherwise)...

Have you seen the number of spells an A5E Artificer can have prepared? The maximum an Artificer could have prepared is 16 at level 18+ (and 10 of those come from their archetype which probably aren't ritual spells anyway - unless you got a really specific archetype) A 5th level Wizard (just...

That's a given. I didn't think that I'd have to mention that. But any other class besides the wizard has to prepare the ritual spell (or have them in their limited arsenal if they don't prepare spells) to be able to cast them as rituals. A wizard just has to have the ritual spell in the...

Just wondering... Wizards (the other class with a book full of magic) are the only class who can cast every spell they know as a ritual from their spellbook. What would it take for an Artificer to be able to cast their Ritual spells from their Schematic book even if they didn't prepare them as...
