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

    If one wants Esper to be really flexible, how about: "Light Armor Proficiency plus either Medium Armor Proficiency or one Esper Skill" since not all Esper got Insight

    Speaking of Multiclass Esper... Am I blind or what are the Multiclass rules for Esper?

    Level Up (A5E) New DM for A5E has some questions.

    Only vehicles with momentum move on their own (at initiative count 20) so if you are doing nothing it won't move on your turn hence it would stop on its own. RAW one character may use a bonus action to "brake" then spend the rest of their turn to do something else (even leaving the "driver's...

    Podcast #254: Can the GM Cheat?

    Certainly not. That was way back when we "improved" our BECMI-D&D campaigns with spells and magic items from AD&D 1st. Those two are not meant to mix (we killed the tarrasque in 2 rounds at 12th/13th(?) level)

    So the combat engineer can be the (nonflying?) Iron Man? ;) Does Grinding Cog only use "normal" equipment or would it be possible to increase use of wands etc.? Someone else was asking for a "wand wizard" type archetype in another thread.

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

    It seems that it is missing the attunement requirement. (which it has in O5E) They are also cheaper than a cantrip wand (which costs 500) or two 3rd level spell scrolls (350) so NOT having a limit like attunement make them more powerful than an uncommon item should be.

    Podcast #254: Can the GM Cheat?

    Speaking of correcting typos and cheating. I remember one notable typo in the "Lich Lords" book, where a group of liches (the antagonists of the adventure) reappeared and at first were in a weakened state but if they got time to recover they were more powerful. One place was their hp which...

    Level Up (A5E) Bard Hymn Questions/Clarifications

    In speed 0 cases (like grappled/restrained) there is no mention of "you can't move". That is just at other disabling conditions like stunned. The restriction that you can't move/speak and register your surroundings aren't at the incapacitated condition but listed at the same place where you get...

    Level Up (A5E) Bard Hymn Questions/Clarifications

    How could you heal yourself if you can't move or speak? Not "you have a speed of 0" but "you can't move". And besides one Druid spell (that first poisons the target before then healing it) all A5E healing spells require a V component.

    Level Up (A5E) Bard Hymn Questions/Clarifications

    I thought so, too but Ode of Blood only removes the incapacitated condition. You are still dying and unconscious (and therefore can't move or even see/hear healing effects that require you to notice them like the Marshal's Rallying Word). But you do get your action, bonus action and reaction...

    Level Up (A5E) Can shields be used as spellcasting foci?

    ... with your greatsword, you can still use unarmed attacks (like a kick, maybe even including a basic maneuver like Knockdown if you want to keep the enemy close)

    Level Up (A5E) Can shields be used as spellcasting foci?

    Until proven wrong I'd have no problem allowing casters to use their Spellcasting Focus for the "Seen" component even for spells that don't have a "Material" component. Waving your Wand, showing your Holy Symbol or the like are classic tropes of spellcasters.

    Level Up (A5E) Can shields be used as spellcasting foci?

    Since the Holy Symbol (aka Divine Focus) can also be an Emblem (which costs 5 gp and weighs nothing) I can't see why a Herald couldn't put this emblem on his shield. And then there's always the option of a hand-mounted light shield (which leaves your hand free to cast)

    Gate Pass Gazette June's Gate Pass Gazette Articles (Issue #16)

    I totally forgot that the Artificer was released in GPG and was wondering what additional archetype was released in GPG. How about psionic heritage gifts for the AG heritages (yes, I know that 4 are already in PP) and/or PP compatible versions of the O5E "psionic feats" like Telekinetic or...

    Hmm... Magic bow, magic quarterstaff, magic shield, magic club, magic cloak, magic hat. Sounds like a group concept. ;)

    Level Up (A5E) So when is the next A5e Kickstarter and what will it be?

    I'm guessing GPG Annual 2 will be about a year after the first one (just because of the availability of the content)

    Level Up (A5E) Observations on Elissar

    The book of storing sounds like a "book safe" that hides the storage part with magically created real pages. Effectively turning the things stored in the book into the pages... Is that the spreadsheet Jess told me about when I asked in the chat during the monthly ENPublishing update live feed?

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

    I'm also toying with the idea for a quick (run in 2-3 hours) adventure for Dark Sun which could also be a starting point for something like an A5E Dark Sun Starter Kit. If you are interested in helping to compile stuff I can open a new thread for that
