No experience running CoS, but plenty of experience running 5e and a5e in published campaigns. Anything 5e can do, a5e does better. It really is that simple. There is basically no headache when using a5e for 5e products. The only thing I recommend is that you don't use WotC monsters: use either...

Gate Pass Gazette usually has NPCs, Monsters, and Exploration Challenges

Homebrew and Hacking's new book will have a sports subsystem and other Narrator stuff (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebrewandhacking/worlds-to-go-the-elysians?ref=profile_created). They also put out that adventure Dragons vs Biplanes. Purple Martin Games put out the fantastic...

whoops, my brain glitched and it swapped investigation (different "I" word)

what I've never understood is Insight under Intelligence and not Wisdom. Academic book-learning rarely helps with reading people. Move that to Wis and Medicine to Int. Done and Done

field and folk medicine I can buy for Wisdom (or at least I understand why people writing in fantasy settings would think that).

I've allowed it for unclasping armor, stealing potions, tricking enemy magic users into thinking a different spell was being cast by faking the Seen component, fouling up an enemy quiver, attaching things to enemies (bomb in pants sure, but also tracking beacons and such), and switching...

pdf releasing earlier or are you planning to release print and digital together?

PMG has a good index in Spells from the Forgotten Vault that could slot in this work pretty well in a future update, but since that is not a living document it still wouldn't really solve the problem. Roleplaymaker.com by the folks a Nexus Game Theory is probably the best current solution

I would argue that an Awakened Tree is sentient, but to-may-toe/to-maa-toe. My players best ally is an Awakened Tree: his name is Steve and he is very stabby

Light and Sustenance are good ideas. I am compiling my spell lists and I keep running into wanting those. There are a LOT of spells that shed light incidentally (at least in my mind) that might need to be parsed

I added alchemical, but there are only a few in there so far: Alchemical Admixture, Remote Detonation, Tinkerer's Measure, and Transmutation Circle (all of which are PMG spells - I am sure I will add more, but I just added it yesterday and haven't finished going through my lists yet)

I found the rewards for the epic paths a bit lackluster for the campaign and I don't think I am going to continue after the main plot conclusion (so they will not get to level 20). So in keeping with the theme of epic ancient heroes, the level 20 cap was the reward. Druid is a bit much, but it's...

I am also running Odyssey with A5e. Half of my players are o5e and half made the jump to a5e (a5e came out in the middle of our campaign which is now approaching year 3 and the climax). Works well, even with a blended party and changing it up in the middle of a campaign.

100%. I am still working on stuff to move away from dndbeyond and A5e doesn't play all that nicely with that anyways.

DriveThruRPG.com is the only place I know to get them

As I understand the design principles (and it looks like you have a good grasp on them), it's challenging because like wotc o5e classes, most o5e classes have a combat focus. In a5e, exploration is added via knacks (or their equivalent) and social skills are mixed in with combat skills as part...

I do think that's a fair question. But my ruling as a Narrator: I would say the text indicates that it is a single creature per bonus action. "While A creature bears your signature, you can use A bonus action to try to intimidate IT." Emphasis is my own. That, plus it's only a first degree...

While I can see how the RAW would exclude broken-up movement, I cannot imagine that is the intent. Otherwise I think it would read closer to "and THEN make a melee weapon attack."
