I watched it yesterday on youtube, but I didn't listen to the audio on its own yet.
Grant probably could turn his mike a bit up, he was not was loud as the others (I could still understand everything but I'll have to check that with the audio if I got any other sounds around me)
But that's a...
Great idea (and nobody expects something this horrible that far from halloween).
I had a plan to loosely tie A5E one shots together with the Khalkoi Ecology of Gravitas but maybe I'll go overboard and include this instead (or if I go really wild... toegether with the Khalkoi)
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...
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.

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...
