    Blog (A5E) A Sneak Peek At Magic

    I love everything but the 6d6. 5e is already overly balanced. Some outliers won't harm anyone.

    Blog (A5E) What we're doing with your survey feedback

    Understandable. Perhaps a small example of the rework of an ability or two that relied on minor adv/dis would satisfy our curiosity. Pretty please :D

    Blog (A5E) What we're doing with your survey feedback

    Will there be a second round of playtesting, especially for earlier material, specifically the fighter. I would love to see if and how the maneuvers are adapted now that minor adv/dis are gone.

    Level Up (A5E) Any plans to fix Two weapon fighting in Level up?

    Commandercrud and Horwath imply or state that if anything two weapon fighting is a strong style. Do the rest of you agree?

    Level Up (A5E) Any plans to fix Two weapon fighting in Level up?

    Two weapon Fighting is rightfully considered the weakest fighting style in 5e and for good reason If i might say so. The problems it has is the following. 1) It eats the bonus action when there are several superior ways to spend it. 2) It scales badly with the number of attacks but scales...

    Survey (A5E) Level Up Survey #3: Fighter

    Just a small request. Please please please do not put composite questions like "did you miss having action surge and second wind". I miss action surge which was as iconic as a paladin's smite in 5e but I am ok with second wind being delegated in a maneuver.

    Level Up (A5E) Rests & Level Up

    How about decoupling ability refresh from rest mechanics? We could have empower and dailies for ability refresh and short/long rest for hp refresh ;)

    Level Up (A5E) Strength vs Dexterity imbalance cannot be solved without addressing the Melee vs Ranged Imbalance.

    We need the Charge action Back. Aka with a single action you move your speed in a straight line AND make a SINGLE attack. With your move action this means you can reach out and charge up to twice your movement. Then charger feat can make it so that your FIRST attack can get a +5 bonus to dmg or...

    Level Up (A5E) Strength vs Dexterity imbalance cannot be solved without addressing the Melee vs Ranged Imbalance.

    Some more thoughts pertaining many beautiful points that have risen here. It is true that I left Attacks of Opportunity out. This is for two reasons. First they are very difficult to trigger. You only get one attack of opportunity that uses up your single reaction. Attacks of opportunity are...

    Level Up (A5E) Strength vs Dexterity imbalance cannot be solved without addressing the Melee vs Ranged Imbalance.

    Another point that I want to raise that is more a matter of personal preference from a design perspective is that I would rather see weaker options empowered vs strong ones nerfed. I hate to take things away. I hate to make perfectly valid builds not valid. I prefer to increase the options, not...

    Level Up (A5E) Strength vs Dexterity imbalance cannot be solved without addressing the Melee vs Ranged Imbalance.

    Cold take: Dnd is not modern warfare. There was a reason bows and crossbows never turned melee weapons irrelevant. :)

    Level Up (A5E) Strength vs Dexterity imbalance cannot be solved without addressing the Melee vs Ranged Imbalance.

    There is a lot that can be said about the imbalance between Strength and Dexterity. I am here going to raise a point about how much 5e favours ranged combat compared to melee combat and then conclude by going back to the Strength vs Dexterity discussion bringing some ideas of possible fixes in...

    Level Up (A5E) Deadlier combat

    There is this hack I have worked on. I despise the hp bloat and decided that very low hp should be increased a bit and we need a generous cut at high level hp. Thus I reached this formula that works both for monsters and pc. hp = conScore*sizeMod + hd*(hpPerHD+conMod/3) Size Mod Tiny = 1/2...

    Level Up (A5E) What is the vision of the high level fighter?

    A counter point to that is that perhaps a fighter could assist in exploration and interpersonal skills based on his martial skill. Maybe placing a hand on their favoured weapon could provide a bonus to intimidation or a similar bonus could be granted towards those who might have seen you fight...

    Level Up (A5E) What is the vision of the high level fighter?

    Hello. I joined the forum only to participate in the discussion of Level up 5e. I have always been in love with the fighter and the ranger and I love that especially the fighter is being discussed here so extensively. I have read the whole thread and many excellent opinions have been aired. I...
