    Level Up (A5E) Maneuvers Again: RAW, RAI and Reasonable Rulings

    I also can't find a specific ruling, but I would say that it simply works like this: when you use a maneuver, you do whatever it says you do as part of the maneuver. This is an important distinction for a few reasons. First, you are using a maneuver, not an attack action, so the maneuver...

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on A5E classes from your table(s)?

    IMO, the classes should be compared to each other and not to o5e. O5e has a lot of balance problems and many of those were addressed with A5e, so I expect many players who liked to take advantage of broken options will be disappointed to find they actually have to try now. As a player, I have...

    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    I already made edits to correct some mistakes, but you can't just add "doesn't" in there to adjust the meaning. As written, there are a couple implications that are valid interpretations. 1) There is no indication as to what happens if the spell does not end early and the creature is not native...

    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    It doesn't. Upcasting increases the duration, which has no affect on someone native to a different plane as they are just banished outright, or at least I could see that argument being made given how the spell is written. For example: "If the spell ends before its maximum duration, the target...

    Level Up (A5E) My Level Up Campaign has Ended! Level Up Feedback

    Interesting. I would be curious to know how you were playing: VTT? Pen and paper? I ask only because back in my PF1e days, we were playing with paper and it really did get annoying tracking things. But PF2e (and A5e), we are playing with a VTT and even PF2e doesn't seem too crunchy anymore...

    a5e.tools Errata & A5E.tools

    Possibly errata? The Spy and Spymaster both have shortswords, but on their stat blocks, they do piercing damage. The shortsword does slashing damage in A5e rather than the piercing damage it did in O5e, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for it to randomly do a different type of damage on these...

    Level Up (A5E) Updated LU edition following D&D 5.5

    Honestly, I wish they'd use this opportunity to completely sever the ties and stop caring about being backward compatible, but I know that was one of the selling points, so they probably won't.

    I do believe the cover should say "Twilight" and not "Twiligh." Whoops.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Since delaying isn't a thing in 5e, that would just fall under readying an action, which is something you can already do. The only difference here is that the thing you do would specifically apply TO their thing as opposed to just happening when they do their thing. Which is an idea I like.

    Level Up (A5E) Skill Overlap?

    I believe that is just at character creation. Not saying that's a problem or anything, just something to keep in mind.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    I am currently playing a rogue/ranger multiclass who is, in fact, a sneaky sort 👀👀. He was always meant to focus on ranged combat, but the current traditions are sorely lacking in that department.

    Level Up (A5E) Is there a limit to the # of pearls of power I can carry?

    I've seen a number of small (or large) changes to spells and items, so I suspect it was intentional. But I could be wrong.

    Level Up (A5E) Harvesting monster body parts

    There's a 3rd party O5e supplement called Batlezoo Bestiary that adds a whole "Monster Hunter" subsystem. Obviously it's not an official list, but it might be what you're looking for.

    Level Up (A5E) Unlikely Wield + 3 Extra Attacks Interaction

    As written, I think it's also notable that Two-Weapon Fighting specifically calls out "If you have the Extra Attack feature..." whereas the feature you are referencing above is called Additional Attack. This suggests that the wording there only applies to the more basic Extra Attack feature and...

    Level Up (A5E) Question about Reincarnate

    That is also how I read it, but since it is different from O5e (and earlier editions?) and that is what my group all thinks of when they think of the spell, I was hoping to make sure. Thanks!

    Level Up (A5E) Question about Reincarnate

    Fun is subjective. What is clear is that they intentionally changed the wording here. In O5e, it's quite clear that you always roll for a new body; here, it is implied that only when you get a new body do you get a new heritage and you only get a new body if the original body is not available. I...

    Level Up (A5E) Question about Reincarnate

    The A5e spell has different wording from the O5e spell in such a way that makes me curious if you don't actually have to pick a new heritage. Specifically, it says, "You return the target to life, provided the target’s soul is willing and able to return to its body. If you only have a piece of...

    Level Up (A5E) Darkmantle grapple

    I suspect this is just an oversight, but the Darkmantle's Crush ability says that "the target is grappled" and "The darkmantle’s speed becomes 0, and it moves with its target." However, the grappled condition sets would set the target's speed to 0, too. So neither of them move. In our game, we...

    Level Up (A5E) The big difference between A5e and 5e?

    We've been playing an A5e game for several months now and the maneuvers and the wealth of features you get have made a huge difference. As Mike said, there's a lot of "I have a thing for that!" moments outside of combat in particular, which is just amazing. I am intentionally playing a character...
